the contract for not the entire year was $60,000 and they are currently under that. it is an hourly as needed contract. >> this $75,000 is a conservative estimate or -- >> wenl it is a conservative estimate for an entire fiscal year. and it is hard to say, we have some interesting things that are beginning to take shape at various properties and hopefully they will be working hard to our advantage. some of their contract will in fact be rebated back to us. if actual real estate transaction occur, which is a contract. so it is possible if things are highly successful the net cost to us will be zero. >> thank you. >> i have seen -- come forward

with presentations. my concern is that if we don't go forward with this contract there will be further delays in the work of the committee which is ch has come to a point where it is ready to issue an i.s.p. on a property. there has been a lot of history. because the high cost of health care and benefits actually $75,000 would not cover salary and benefits unless the full time position was something around $45,000 which is really basically a part time position. so i think we need to think long-term about this. but at particular point in time in terms over the workability committee, i feel like it is pretty important to continue with this contract and my understanding based on that, this is a do not exceed am. no more than $75,000 and could

be potentially significantly less. >> the funding comes from fund 40 and what has been been used on this is real estate funding that we had when we basically sold the fund and received a small amount of money as went along. that's what funding we're using now to take care of this. >> ok. so for clarification, david, this is an as-needed basis. so really if you were all of a sudden to say wow, we really need a lot of extra help. we need to hire someone full time that you could and we would not be bound to pay the $75,000 over the one fiscal year. is that correct? >> there is no obligation to pay

$745,000. the rates are hourly. they are at our beck and call. we can cancel the contract at any time. >> so i would like to -- for you to continue the conversation amongst your staff and perhaps about is there an increased need to have more i guess attention put to real estate and does it require having a staff person? thank you. >> agreed. >> commissioner maufas? commissioner maufas: thank you. you just indicated what i was going to say. i think there is a need. i think it is great because of the necessity we have been able to, you know, your department has been able to develop a positive working relationship. that is great. it is convenient. it works but i actually would rather see a dedicated person there. and i think it is -- it is incumbent upon you to be able to

figure it out for us. that's what i'm really looking for. i feel hesitant about this. it just feels odd to me that they would come onboard as someone we have been working with and that is really again great. they have been available but i'm not all that pleased with what they presented for myself as a board member. it is not -- looking at the things that i want us to look at and with the lens that i think our board philosophy reflects. that's what i'm -- i mentioned at the last meeting that i was at when they were all present, the principles and so i want to be clear. we have a vision and a philosophy. i would love to see them start mirroring some of that because i don't see it whern it comes to the board. you may have that opportunity in conversations with them. it is just not evident to me as a board member but i appreciate

there is a long-term discussion going on because i think there is a need. thank you very, very much. >> any further congressmens? role call, please. >> thank you. [role call vote] >> thank you. item q is the superintendent's proposal first reading. item 116-14 s adoption of fiscal year 2011-2012 recommended budget. i need a second, please. the per board policy number five discussion at of the budget is allowed at the first reading.

are you presenting something? >> what is your pleasure? we can do some or would you rather come back? it is pretty late. >> why don't we take a look at it and if anybody has any questions, if that is ok with anyone? is that ok? >> i do have one speaker card. i think she already spoke her piece. are you going to speak on the budget also? we're not going to further discussion on it. it is going to get refered to the augmented budget committee but if you have a comment. >> because my lovely sleepy 8-year-old is watching tv now and very sad i'm not there with her, i love you and i'm sorry i'm not there. i'm here tonight to read to you the sufsd budget for 2012 school

year. our members will every year think about base on our campaign platform what are the things that we feel need to be portized in the budget particularly in closing the achievement gap an opportunity gap. so in addition to the embead bedded priorities of the budget as well as the equity report that we're hoping to see a draft of at the next -- at the budget committee meeting, the five priorities that members identified are number one we need to make sure that sfusd protects access a-g high school course sequences in every high school. number two, we want to protect teacher quality. we want all teachers to have access to and be able to participate in professional

development that builds their skills to work with all learning styles and values to student experience. we also want them to invest in a student feedback assessment system as part of a more fair and equitable evaluation system. number three, we want to protect democracy at s sfnch usd. we want parents and students to participate in councils. resources that support parents that speak a language other than english to have an ability to participate in district-wide decisions about our schools. all of the educational issues especially about access and social justice. we want all school sites that serve populations, specifically african-american, latino to have the ability to provide high quality support services like

tutoring, mentors and afterschool programs. and we want them to protect family's access to student information. we want all state of the unions to have clear and consistent information about their academic standing as they move toward college or career. parents too must have access with regular meetings with counselors. develop timely plans for interventions if necessary. these are the things that our parents are prioritized. they definitely are very specific and we're working through your budget to basically understand how those things are being protected and this goes hand in hand with the categorical 3 program because those programs are literally embedded. how do we know every school has a-g? right now we don't. as a district, you don't. no one those if all courses for ninth grade rs -- that's something that should have been

answered before we came to the budget. you don't know if the translation department's budget is adequately capable of meeting the needs of school site councils. you don't know specifics about the budget and it feels like we have gone through this year after year, last year we talked about the equity report and commissioner wynn suggested we do a different process in budget. i really want to continue to urge you that over the next seven days as you all look into your budget that you really be able to answer some really critical questions and really be able to answer the question that i haven't heard enough discussion about this year in the board. what are we spending money on that does raise the achievement of our lowest achieving students? it is by far shameful that our african-american students do worse than any other students in the state. this is not something that you can just sweep under the table and not talk about. you're spending a lot of time in

the board talking about issues but are you talking about the right issues? we spent two hours tonight talking about jrotc. we didn't ever spend two hours talking about african-american achievement in this district this year. not once. and you ask us to be critical of partners but you're not making it easy for the community to be critical partners when you hold meetings about $50 million at 10:00 at night. how are you being critical and how are you keeping your promises? you are not at this point by our assessment keep your promises and we need to be able to really do some more work to really figure that out but ump sf need to be able to hold yourselves accountable. >> just wraup, please. >> thank you. >> thank you.

>> a quick question. >> i just wanted to say thank you to all of the work that goes into that. i appreciate that but what i don't see and hear is anything dimpt than last year that shows last year -- different than last year that shows last year that has a year by year comparison. i know we talked about this last year. if there are any ways that in the presentation materials, things that when there are a few places if you can look at this with a critical eye to give more information about that. so for instance know that the difference between the special ed budget that is coming is going to be significant. you have to really look to find that. i did look. you have to add things up. make some subtractions to do it. that would be helpful to all of us and the public.

>> thank you. so the next item is item 116-14 sp 3. availability of tap water in school cafeterias. >> rum r. i need a motion and second, please. this was already heard in buildings and grounds. they will come back for action on june 28. item s, board members reports. if you could be brief on your reports, please. >> i made the report at our last meeting. >> thank you. >> buildings and grounds. there were quite a few discussions with regards to -- pardon me?

in particular, around 1155 page street. an r.f. spmbings being prepared and will be going out on the child care use. there has been continuing discussion about an r.f.p. from that. a report on the budget. there are budget committee -- budget committee met on may 26. there are a couple of pages. bear with me as i read them. i think there are about seven. just kidding. an overview. i wish that you had done that earlier on other people, quite frankly. i think that we would -- we went over the governor's may -- we'll hear more about it on the 21st.

it is very complicated. everyone is interested, please tune into our meeting on the 21st. now another thing that is very, very disturbing is that we heard about the special education budget that is now looking like about $60 million of our general fund contributions to special education which is a $20 million difference from last year. increase. so we're -- there is an elimination of an aara fund i think that we're picking up. actually this was rather disturbing i think to memberses of the board that listen to this. we -- i don't think that we were prepared for a $20 million increase in one year. it is very frustrating. so we are working on that. so we have an update on funds earmarked specifically for course requirement including

summer school. summer school is a really big issue. we will need summer school next summer for our 10th graders and our ninth graders and they will need to complete retirements and classes cut to only six classes gives a student very little chance to make that up unless it is with summer school so i think we're going to have to carve that out of our budget and then we have approved k resolutions which were just signed. >> thank you. >> we heard already the report from the action items that the board considers. we also heard a very interesting presentation about summer school, an update on summer

school and who is enrolled and we still don't have? s on that. we're monitoring that very closely. we did get some money from the city and we feel very responsible about making sure that we're spending it adequately and appropriately. and what else? let's see. we also heard a really interesting report from pack members who in the course of the quality middle schools initiate i ever went out to a lot of middle schools and put together a chart that commissioner wynns referred to tonight. he hasn't scrutinized that chart. it is very interesting to see all of the different programs that are available. p pack members gave their perception about what programs were out there and what needed to be improved. we also heard a very interesting report on our strategies that we have to serve high achievers in middle school because part of the middle school debate has been about honors, availability

at some schools. not at other schools. what are we doing to support high achievers at schools that don't have a separate honors track. what are the achievement differences between the two? we need a complete report on that. they were not available that evening to give us a more complete report so we're going to bring this back at a later date to look into those issues. i think it is something that the board should be talking about. about whether our strategies -- are working for our students whether there are better ways to serve our high achievers and all of our achieves, all of our different learners. so we will continue to talk about that at curriculum. >> thank you. item t is the report on the closed session item actions. there are known tonight.

item very much ised a adjournment. thank you for a long and productive meeting. good night.

it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> thank you. we'll be taking a roll call of commissioners. commission president thomas mazzucco? >> president. >> commission vice president dr. joe marshall. >> here. thank you. >> mr. petra dejesus is excused. commissioner angela chan. >> present. >> commissioner carol kingsley. >> present. >> and commissioner james slaughter is en route. you have a quorum of commissioners additionally on this evening we have ms. joyce hicks and chief of police.

>> thank you very much, lieutenant falby. ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wednesday, june 15, 2011 san francisco police commission hearing and tonight's agenda we'll have closed session matters to deal with discipline but the rest of the agenda seems light and we'll move to that. the commissioner is to the dayous. let's call number one. >> item 1 is general public comment. the public is welcomed to address the committee regarding items that don't appear on tonight's agenda but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. the speaker shall address their remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or the department or o.c.c. personnel. under rules of order, under public comment neither police or personnel or commissioners are to respond to questions presented by the public but may provide a brief response. individual commissioners and police and o.c.c. personnel should refrain from entering into any debates or discussion

with speakers during public comment. public comment is limited to three minutes. >> thank you, lieutenant. good evening, mr. delanus. >> hello, commission. you know i don't come here often so when i come here it's usually a matter of urgency. i was in front of the budget committee meeting today and it appears as though the draw program will not be extended. it appears as though they will vote to not extend the drop program. so one of the things, i know this is ultimately going to be dropped on your lap two or three years down the road when we're short about 500 or 600 cops, i wanted to give you some of the numbers i think are real numbers and don't think are even disputed by human resources. we believe that effective july 1, which will be a week and a half, we will have 330 officers in the drop program which means the clock will have started one to three years from that point on. according to human resources own statistics, we anticipate losing an additional 75 officers per year through general attrition. that brings the total of

officers that we would need in the next three years to about 655. without any academy classes. when you add that to the fact we're already 150 officers below the charter mandated minimal staffing level of 1971, we would have to hire approximate 800 officers over the next three years to comply with charter section 4.127. due to the fact no academy classes are budgeted for fiscal year 2011, we would have to hire at least 20 academy classes over the two following years just to maintain the charter mandated number. obviously, that's not practical nor financially possible, physically possible. in addition, the mass exodus of police officers will coincide with san francisco's hosting of the america's cup. that could leave us 600 to 700 officers short just when we need him the most. in addition we'll be losing many of our most experienced supervisors and investigators when we need them and this will be a critical blow to the

efficiency of our department. so while the board of supervisors prepared to end the drop program effective next week, it also is apparent they have no plan in place to deal with the mass ox oddous of this department -- mass exodus of this department the next three years and believe the finger will be pointed to the police commission for those to blame and the chief of police for not back filling the department. just a word to the wise that these numbers are real, that we are actually going to be looking at replacing probably 1/3 of our police department the next three years. i don't know how we're going to do it. i don't know where the money will come from but it is the reality of life. i just don't want this to come as a big surprise to you folks because i've been crunching the numbers here, talked to human resources, talked to the mayor's office. nobody disputes my numbers and nobody has a plan for what will happen. it's a dire situation. hopefully the commission can come up with a plan, but i know ultimately you're the ones that will probably be blamed when

the ripper hits the road. so i'm just giving you a two-year advance warning when they come to you and start yelling at you why we're 400, 500 down. >> thank you. can you stand by, we don't normally do this but ms. kingsley would like to address you. >> thank you for your comments. do you have that in writing, the statistics went by rather quickly for me. i would like to have a hard copy of that if you could give me that. >> i will give you a copy. matter of fact i have it here and tim can make some copies for you, ok. commissioner slaughter: thank you, sir. >> mr. delanus, we've been discussing this issue the last three months if we're not mistaken, there is a concern about staffing and hiring and about the drop program and about the number of officers that are eligible to retire today. what is that number, 700? >> we have 562 that are eligible to go into the drop program which means that's 562 people with either more than 25 years over the age of 50. we have over 320 officers with

more than 30 years. but with the drop program ending, they're all going into the drop effective in the next week. >> what do you recommend the solution for this problem be? what would be your recommendation on behalf of the police officers recommendation? >> it would be a task force made of the police commission, the p.o.a. and the department to discuss a plan for the future and somehow get the point across to the board. i think i got the point across to the board today that this is a real problem and scott weiner was talking about calling for an emergency session to discuss the shortage, the upcoming shortage in the department. but i think it is something that needs to be addressed sooner than later and think we could address it as a group, possibly a representative from the commission department and the p.o.a. and i would be involved in it myself. >> thank you. >> thanks. next speaker. >> good evening, commissioners. mr. harrison before you once again on the issue of my

brother being murdered january 2. . i'm coming forward to say we appreciate every effort that's been made to capture the person responsible for the death of my brother. however, we believe more can be done. i spoke with somebody before the meeting started today, and i was informed that a reward could be offered through the mayor's criminal justice program. we're going to look into that. i just wanted to say briefly, there are individuals on the board who knew my brother and know his track record in san francisco and although he was in an unfavorable situations in san francisco, what happened to him in january 2011, he didn't

deserve that. so no matter what we may think or opinions we may form about individual and their record, he did not deserve to be murdered. so i just wanted to put that out there and, you know, we just appreciate everything, but we do hope that more can be done in resolving the case dealing with my brother charles harrison. thank you. >> thank you. president mazzucco: next speaker. >> good evening, commissioners. i wish our new commission was here tonight. i called that two weeks ago. i know who it will be, it's going to be thurmond. the examiner will be the new commissioner per the paper. also, i'd like to thank greg's performance at park station
