population to the county via ab 109. you have heard today already some of the specifics, but let me go over a few more. takes non-serious, non-violent with no prior conviction of felony terms that would have resulted in 16 months, two-year, or 24-month prison sentences, and realigns those to county jail. it is not strictly about alternative -- incarcerating. alternative sentencing is authorized. and incentivize within the legislation. also, we really have not talked much about this today, but there is an increase in date for date earning credit. for every four days -- for every two days -- and we are days, there's two days credit. that would help reduce the population. also in terms of in our jail system, 80% are basically

pretrial approximately, and approximately 20% are pre- sentence. the legislation also authorizes changes and that the district attorney and share of have to agree to that could further impact in a positive way dropping population appropriate for alternative. but no matter what happens, the share of and i completely agree the our populations are going to rise, and in addition, that the state numbers that they have estimated are basically very understated. we anticipate for adult probation that we will have an increase to 700 offenders that will be on post-custody release supervision. what will be key is how the courts react in terms of their sentencing. are they going to sentence for alternatives to incarceration and post custody right off the bat, or will they meet out similar sentences? the courts again are part of our

whole community correctional partnership committee, and we are having those internal discussions. the state's original estimates were that we would receive right off the bat 412 non-serious, non-violent offenders that would be released to adult probation supervision, but that is a little misleading because these offenders can have serious or violent felony convictions in their background, and again, these are very high voice. a role violators at 64. only time will tell what those numbers are. the original date that it was to be implemented was july 1. that date has now officially changed to 10/1. the funding formula has changed from when they originally gave it to us. that is still in the state of flux. what we do know so far is that the governor has taken out of a

reserve fund $300 million and put that basically into or towards the vehicle license fee, which is key to realignment happening. there is still $205 million short as well as they have to secure the funding for the realign populationthe state is n revising and population projections for the entire state. they hoped to have them by now. i intended an additional to the bureau to -- additional 2 to 4. it does not go near to fully covering the costs. i am chairing the executive committee responsible for the criminal justice realignment plan but will be submitted to the board for approval of

partners include the district attorney, the public defender, the police, the human services agency. nylon this executive committee most prepare the plan -- by a lot of the board must approve the -- by law, the board must approve the plan. in terms of overall strategies we are working on, in terms of language ordinance compliance, they do have a language translation . we basically have bilingual staff to the speaks spanish, cantonese, and mandarin.

we also use interpreters as necessary for court proceedings. now our i.t. programs are critical, especially in anticipation of realignment. we have to know who we half and where we have it, and they are consistent with justice. they have been approved. they really focus on the population that is going to come and lea associated costs. staff training will be critical to your your -- critical.

in terms of revenue, we do have some of our funding in federal and state grant funds. we anticipate the depending on what happens there could be pressure, and if we lose, but would impact the staff. xóhow we hope to embark to improve outcomes, and the this going to help with management. we are going continue to implements. now we have opened a learning

center, and we had our first graduate l instead of basically utilizing the typical reentry strategy where individuals are incarcerated and come back, the starter since -- this target smals, and i am happy to reportd they reached out and offered half a million dollars. gwe are happy with what happened in san francisco superior -- san

francisco. sun francisco is saving the state over $200 million by virtue of not incarcerating affable will leverage -- below average rate. they are saving $418 million. one thing i am very concerned about is funding formulas. we are producing results. we have to hire a drop in crime last year as opposed to any county. we know what works. back to san francisco and a gold

appropriation, we have agreed to the majority i am continuing -- agreed to the majority, and i am hopeful we can come to a resolution. you>> thank you for your presentation. >> our recommendation is detailed on page 5 and 6 total

217,000. they would still allow an increase of 16.2% of the state's budget. we also recommend $1,208, so our recommendation would resulted $279,000 in savings to the general fund and your ego -- to the general fund. >> we will see you next week. i guess we do not have any departments for us. can we continue item one and item to tomorrow? >> the us. -- yes. >> any other items? >> that completes the agenda. >> thank you. we are adjourned.

>> hello. welcome to "culturewire." we are here today with bay area

artist jody chanel, and we are here to see the plaza where your piece has just been installed. >> i have been doing large-scale paintings in the galleries and museums, and the idea that in the future, i could do something that would hang out a little bit longer than the duration of the installation the kind of appeal to me. i quickly found out about the san francisco arts commission school and realized there was a pre-qualified school you had to apply to, so i applied to the. >> how long did it take you to develop this work for the plaza? >> this was a fast track project. design development was about a month. >> let's look at the beautiful mural. i have never seen a mural created on asphalt. >> the heat of the asphalt, a

new layer of asphalt. then, these wire rope templates that were fabricated for the line work get laid down and literally stamped into the asphalt, and then everything was hand-painted. >> maybe you could talk about some of the symbolism, maybe starting in the middle and working out. >> [inaudible] the flower of industry. >> it is like a compass. there's an arrow pointing north. >> within the great bear consolation, there are two pointed stars here. they typically lead one to the northstar, otherwise known as polaris. so i thought it has a layer of theme. >> let's talk about some of the other elements in the peace.

we are walking along, and there is a weather vane. there's a sweet little bird hanging on the side. what kind of bird is that? >> [inaudible] the smallest of the gulf species, and it lives around the bay area. >> you want to talk about the types of flour patterns that you send? >> [inaudible] around 1926 or so by the dahlia society. >> what is this bird here? >> that is the california quail. >> coming up here, we had a little blustery theme. what is this area here? >> this is supposed to be the side view, the expense of the golden gate bridge. >> there it is. >> there are really beautiful elements of architecture still

around, i would say that it gives that feeling over to the work. >> what are your hopes for it? >> that in a way it just becomes part of the area. i think it is starting to have that feeling. people utilize it. they sit and, and have their lunch and play on -- they sit and, and have their lunch and play on that -- they sit and come and have their lunch and play on it. just for it to be part of the neighborhood. that is my hope. >> is such a beautiful addition to our public art in san francisco. thank you for joining us. it was nice to meet you. and thank you for telling us about your beautiful mural. thanks for watching "culturewire."

>> san francisco is home to a renowned civic art collection that includes a comic works -- iconic works by local and national artists integrated into our public buildings and six basis. the arts commission has struggled to take care of the priceless collection because of limited resources. in an effort to gather more funding for the maintenance of the collection, the art commission has joined forces with the san francisco art dealers association to establish art care, a new initiative that provides a way for the public to get involved. the director of public affairs recently met with the founder and liquor -- local gallery owner to check out the first art care project.

♪ >> many san franciscans are not aware that there is a civic art collection of numbers almost 4000 works of art. preserving the collection and maintaining it is something being addressed by a new program called art care. it is a way for citizens to participate in the preservation of the civic art collection. with me is the creator of the art care program. welcome. the reason we wanted to interview you is that the artist in question is peter volkas. why is he so important to the history of san francisco art?

>> he is a very famous ceramic ist. knowing the limitations of clay, he got involved in bronze in around 1962. he was teaching at the university of california, berkeley. >> your gallery celebrated the 50th anniversary of continuous operation. you are a pioneer in introducing the work and representing him. >> i have represented him since 1966. i was not in business until 1961. he made a big deal out of working in clay. the things he was doing was something never seen before. >> it is a large scale bronze. it has been sitting here of the hall of justice since 1971. talk about what happens to the

work of art out of the elements. >> the arts commission commissioned the piece. they did not set aside money for repair. it has slowly changed color. it was black. it has been restored. >> it has been restored to the original patina. >> there was no damage done to its. i do not think there were any holes made in it. they have been working on it for six or eight weeks. it is practically ready to go. i am very excited to see it done. >> over the course of the arts in richmond program, we have added almost 800 works of art

into the public space. maintaining that is not something that the bond funds allow us to do. this is why you came up with the idea of art care. >> i hope we get the community going and get people who really like to be involved. we will give them a chance to be involved. if you are interested in art, this is a marvelous way to get involved. there is work all over the city where every year ago. -- there is artwork all over the city wherever you go. my idea was to get people in the neighborhood to take care of the pieces and let the art commission have the money for the bigger pieces. >> i was talking to the former president of the arts commission yesterday. the 2% ordnance is something he

helped to champion. >> it is all over california and other states now. we really were the forerunners. it is a wonderful thing to bring the community into this now. people have seen art being put into the community. this has not been touched by any graffiti. it just faded over time. it is so open here. there is nobody watching this. i think that is a plus to the community. i hope the graffiti people do not go out there now that i am opening of my mouth. >> i want to thank you for the 50 years you have already given to the city as an arts leader. >> i started in to briberon, i's

only been 45. >> you have championed his work over these years. >> it has been exciting working with him. it is one of the highlights of my life. >> thank you for being part of "culture wire" today. >> to learn more about the program and the list of public arts in need of maintenance, visit the website. thank you for >> ladies and gentlemen, a very good morning to you. welcome to this very special occasion as we introduce you to the competitors in the america's cup. this is our world cup soccer match on the water. it is the most exciting thing to come to the bay area in many,
