appreciated. i would like to thank anyone else -- if you have public comment. another any comments that you would like to make? >> we have all been meeting. you have the majority of the situation. we are starting to engage. >> according to what was said earlier, this was found with the partnership consortiums. >> this is up -- this is evolving very quickly. >> i appreciate this update. this is deeper than a snapshot,

and i would like to open up to public comment? and if there is any public comment, please step forward. >> i am linda connely, the leader of a community-based organization and i have been providing this in san francisco for 30 years. over the last three decades, we have seen a lot of changes in criminal justice. the jail programs have been unique, for the whole country. we entered the council, bringing together the different stakeholders that touch the lives of the offenders. and revitalizing -- the new chief is bringing in other

factors that we all need to look at. the bottom line is that we still have a big problem. and we're talking about how we will address this. this is a golden opportunity to make substantive change. the tendency is to rely on incarceration because this is the easiest thing to do. and yet, there are so many good, community-based organizations in san francisco, that i hope that we will take a big picture about what we're going to do for all of the criminal justice probation. i would like to include them at the table, including the councils will be working on these plans. we're very committed to making a successful system in san francisco. it is important to get the maximum return for what we

spend on developing this system. i am happy to help in any way. >> very much appreciated. police stepped up. -- please step up. >> looks like she ran out of money. jail looks like they too khk her friend. that county again. he stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time. the county is changing or maybe it just stopped trying. but it feels like its too late. though you really tried hard to make it. then the money died.

and all you want is money. in san mateo county. there are things even more important. how perfect can you get. and if you see me walking down the city street. walk on by. walk on by. make believe that you don't see the tears that are in my eyes. and i wanted to make it in this city. >> thank you. next public comment. >> my name is wayne garcia. vice president of programs for walden house. he made a statement about

needing to get ready. we are ready. we have overseen criminal justice for well over 20 years. now she is in san francisco with a female offender program, we are very concerned. we have set up the state -- prison for women, and we are concerned about public safety, and about the resources for the population. i doubt that they will get the $200 that was brought up earlier. desperate times call for desperate measures. you do not have the resources or the shelter, the resources to change the life.

we have the san francisco sheriff's department and an excellent program, where the females would have a share scroll. this was something to consider. and the individuals coming into treatment, this would change the size of the caseload. they are not running around the streets looking for the parolees. the systems are designed or every couple of hours, we're checking to see that the individual is there. we did tell county probation if they are not there. the system is intact. with monitoring bracelets, -- we have the curriculum and the evidence-based practices. we welcome this.

the san francisco sheriff's department called us. we are the first to respond and we want to provide hope for this population. >> i would like to talk to you after this hearing. and is there any other public comment? public comment is closed. i want to thank everyone from the city family, and from the network that is here. thank you. supervisor, what do we not continue this? do you have anything further? >> i know that we will return to this topic in the not so distant future, for all the reasons that have been articulated, and we look forward to having a more refined report. the meeting is adjourned.

>> the public wants to access particular information about your house or neighborhood we point them to gis. gis is a combination of maps and data. not a graphic you see on a screen. you get the traffic for the streets the number of crimes for a police district in a period of time. if the idea of combining the different layerce of information and stacking them on top of each other to present to the public. >> other types of gis are web based mapping systems.

like google earth, yahoo maps. microsoft. those are examples of on line mapping systems that can be used to find businesses or get driving directions or check on traffic conditions. all digital maps. >> gis is used in the city of san francisco to better support what departments do. >> you imagine all the various elements of a city including parcels and the critical infrastructure where the storm drains are. the city access like the traffic lights and fire hydrants. anything you is represent in a geo graphic space with be stored for retrieval and analysis. >> the department of public works they maintain what goes on in the right-of-way, looking to

dig up the streets to put in a pipe. with the permit. with mapping you click on the map, click on the street and up will come up the nchgz that will help them make a decision. currently available is sf parcel the assessor's application. you can go to the assessor's website and bring up a map of san francisco you can search by address and get information about any place in san francisco. you can search by address and find incidents of crime in san francisco in the last 90 days. we have [inaudible] which allows you to click on a map and get nchldz like your supervisor or

who your supervisor is. the nearest public facility. and through the sf applications we support from the mayor's office of neighborhood services. you can drill down in the neighborhood and get where the newest hospital or police or fire station. >> we are positive about gis not only people access it in the office but from home because we use the internet. what we used to do was carry the large maps and it took a long time to find the information. >> it saves the city time and money. you are not taking up the time of a particular employee at the assessor's office. you might be doing things more efficient. >> they have it ready to go and say, this is what i want.

>> they are finding the same things happening on the phone where people call in and ask, how do i find this information? we say, go to this website and they go and get the information easily. >> a picture tells a thousand stories. some say a map

supervisor kim: welcome to the rules committee. joining us is supervisor elsbernd and supervisor farrell. we would also like to a knowledge the staff of records each of our meetings and to make the transcripts available to the public. are there any announcements? >> and the items that are recommended will go to the full board on tuesday unless otherwise indicated. motion confirming the appointment of jerry lee to the board of directors. >> if you wouldn't mind coming

out. we love to hear from you. and why you would like to continue your service. >> i currently serve as the vice chair of the mta board of directors. i also serve as the chair of the governing committee. i see the mta at a critical juncture right now. we're going through contract negotiations. and with the outcome of that, we're looking at several areas of continuing priority. one is safety, the other is service. budget. over time. once after the negotiations we start to move forward, whether to make sure the proper things are in place to make sure that we move forward.

that we also have a contract that is fair to the city of san francisco. >> hopefully with the changes, will make sure that the management team is in place and ready to handle the job. my background as a professional manager gives me that expertise working in a labor environment also. i would like to continue that service and offer my expertise to the agency. supervisor kim: any questions? supervisor elsbernd: you have hit some of the who big points. another thing that falls under the rubric is pedestrian safety. that is an issue later on in the agenda. generally, your thoughts on what they can do to improve safety in

the city? >> and they can do a lot more than what they're doing now. i had a chance to review the directives from 2010. a: the status. took a look at the most recent meeting. it has not progressed to my satisfaction. there are items i think that we can implement, things that are low cost. i am concerned about areas that are either just part of an off- ramp or on-ramp. we need to do more outreach to the public. it seems that the senior population seems to get involved more in these accidents. copies are partnering with community agencies to get the message out there. i just witnessed this yesterday.

i saw an elderly citizen run across the street in the middle of the street to try to stop the bus. i was shocked to even try to do that. also educating the public, we'd educate our drivers. and do more traffic common. >> think you for coming before us and for your service to our city. it is great to have a san francisco native. i think it is important in terms of your knowledge and as a writer. -- rider. >> i ride 4 times a week. supervisor kim: representing the

district that has the highest number of collisions between pedestrians and vehicles, it is something that we really hope to see you advocate on. what will you do have a request for increased fees comes to for the board? >> my first concern is that we have declared a fiscal crisis. what i have asked for, instead of looking at quarterly budgets or overtime, i want to look at things out a monthly basis to make sure we're managing funds properly. right now, we have been involved -- i would rather see us go elsewhere as opposed to penalizing the public, a background, seniors at a low-

income, families. and of the impact that it has on them. the $10 increase means a lot to the families of the fixed- income. supervisor kim: there is a wide variety of issues. what is your priority as commissioner who? >> pedestrian safety, vehicle safety. the budget. over time. and i want to take a look at employee morale, managing the business of running the transit system. and equipment reliability. supervisor kim: if there are no further questions, i will open it up for public comment.

make clear if you are speaking in support or in opposition to the appointment. >> i came to speak in support of the nomination. cut like to make a couple of points. it gives him a unique set of skills given the importance of the workforce. a recognizes and has worked with the drivers that make the difference. i think he plays a very important role in being someone that is respected by the work force, the operators, someone that they know they can come to that has a high level of sensitivity. he is the neighborhood director on the mta board. as you heard him talking about circumstances, he makes himself very available when issues,

whether it is about a mini -- muni or pedestrian safety. that isn't he does a great deal about -- is something he knows a great deal about. i am concerned that this board has really put attention on safety and operations. that is something that has to continue to be emphasized and that there is accountability with the people. i am extremely supportive of his nomination. >> in the afternoon, -- good afternoon, madam president.

personally, self-help as one of the vital statistics. unfortunately, it constituted 50% of those fatalities. it was a very serious matter. he was immediately at the executive office with us talking about how to improve pedestrian safety. we took the employees around our senior centers and conducted training. both to let them know how across the street properly, but these fatalities have been on crosswalks. he is very fair. representing not just the

commission but also the voice of the community. and recently with the clipper program. particularly for the modeling will communities. he immediately did work with us so the chinatown community could get the clipper program had also get a lot of outreach and education. >> i am the executive director of cyc. i am pleased to speak and opera -- to have the opportunity to speak in favor. his work is well-known and highly regarded.

for our youth worker, gerry has always reached out to the office of workforce opportunities. we also believe gerry has the expertise to continue serving on the mta. and combined with his management skills, he brings to the table 40 years of experience and knowledge as a valued employee or he is currently the community relations manager had congressional awareness coordinator. we all know he is very proud to be a native of borden san franciscan. we look forward to his reappointment. supervisor kim: any other public comment? public comment is closed.

any comments? i would like to say thank you for your service. i look forward to working with you on many pedestrian safety issues. i of that supervisor elsbernd -- i know that supervisor elsbernd has experience with transportation as well. we see a disproportionate number of the victims being children and seniors. your work will be very useful. if i can entertain a motion. i think without opposition, i would like to move this forward as a committee report. can you please call item no. 2?

>> appointing supervisor scott winer to the met -- wiener to the metropolitan transportation commission. supervisor kim: the mayor has appointed a supervisor helen wiener. any amendments we would like to entertain? ok, i think we can move that ford without opposition. we will open it up for public comment. >> we are very pleased to endorse a supervisor campos.

now more than ever, it is essential that san francisco has a very strong voice advocating for san francisco's interests. we're very pleased with the developments here. to have him on the board will serve us very well. it is essential. there is a transportation plan that is beginning to be formed. that promises to make this region a leader in the state and in the nation under a developing sustainable regions. there are many pressures on san francisco. we are not the big city anymore. we need to make sure that we speak out strongly. thank you for moving this along.

>> any other public comment on this item? public comment is now closed. i would like to move forward the motion with recommendation to the full board. motion approved. can you call item no. 3? >> appointing supervisor cohen to the executive board. supervisor kim: comments or questions? any public comment? public comment is now closed. moving item forward with recommendation, i think we can do that without opposition. item number four. >> appointment to the san francisco health authority.

supervisor kim: can you please come up? take a couple minutes to introduce yourself and your interest in serving on the health commission. >> as you are familiar with our organization, the hospital is here to provide health access to the low income chinese community members. right now, our mission is quite the same. i feel it would be very important and very valuable to place me on the seat. i have over 40 years of experience of which 26 is in health-care administration. my goals are to ensure that we continue to provide a better health access
