context of what is happening here, i'll believe it is heading in the wrong direction. we are rightly looking at pension reform and making a number of employees make a lot of sacrifices and i don't think with all the respect, there are great intentions and i don't think this is the right policy for the san francisco police department and it is not the right policy for the city and county of san francisco. of the motion being made that it does deserve a vote, i strongly disagree with the need for this program. >> not surprised by any of the information. this had been conventional wisdom that had been living around and i was part of that. but when we skull that data that has come before us, i completely

disagree with the comment that unless there is some of substantiation by the comptroller that they have not substantiated based on the information of what we perceive or what we are firm is being cost neutral, that has not happened? when the data was presented to us about whether the cost is, we are comparing what a participant is and what the cost is compared to what it takes to go through the police academy and for a field training program. it is not well tabulated. i was able to point that out. they did not bundle because of what a recruit goes through and what a probationary police officer goes through. it is not the six-month experience compared against the cost of class.

it is actually about the fact that they have a significant drop out rates. and they actually go through a significant drop out time. if we are comparing because of what it takes to be in the program compared to academy recruitment costs, the payments for seven months, and another field training program, without many academy class is, i like to see the effort being instigated. there is none that i have a hearing about. we're going to do on the staffing budget side. as much as i appreciate the voice of authority from the retirement board, and the retirement board has not taken

the official position on this. if the retirement board hasn't taken an official position, it still comes back to us that allows us to interpret it. you look at the data, and what has motivated me is that it is incomplete. and when i called to talk to other jurisdictions like san diego or los angeles, they went through similar motions that we are going through right now. right at that same precedents, they decided to go ahead and reinstate it is based on the ways to count how the things should work better. that should also speak to us since we are not alone in this experience. the programs are not apples to apples here, we don't know what to compare it to.

that is why we should extend it. i appreciate what people are saying. i don't inclusion be at this point without a thorough conversation. supervisor chu: i want to take a moment to appreciate the comments that supervisor campos made, and given the choice to spend on police whether it is to continue the program or at academy class as, my preference would be to look the other options and out lateral passes. last week when we have the hearing, i made a few points about my reservations. that continues today. he spoke a lot about the issue of neutrality and how to define that. i don't want to repeat any of those comments. even if other jurisdictions

extended it, there is not a way to compare them. the conditions under which are not things that you can compare to. it was just about the specific proposal extending for one year. i don't believe extending one year will give us additional data to make the argument more compelling one way or the other. when you think about what will be required, we would have to take it back to the voters anyway. will not get better data to give as the decision. we still have to make changes to the program anyhow. i don't think it is a good idea for us to have a one-year extension. >> any additional discussion? what of we take a roll-call vote? the roll-call vote to amend the

motion. [roll call vote] >> there is one aye and 10 no's. supervisor cohechiu: can we do s same house, same call? the motion is not approved.

bet between the san francisco and san the tail county about local higher. this memorandum of understanding that will be approving today is basically a combination of negotiations between the city and the supervisors in the county. i had anticipated this memorandum of understanding happening much later but because there was concern raise about the local higher ordnance, will quickly to resolve concerns raised by the supervisors. and when we crafted the local higher ordnance and anticipated the concerns that come from the region about how we build the publicly funded construction projects, last april, we have a hearing. and we heard about the water

systems improvement program, we realized that we need to have a local hire ordinance that would take into account the workers in the region that would like to have access to the jobs created when we build. those workers come from areas that are impacted by that development in those regions are contributing to funding the developments in that area. this memorandum of understanding while anticipated, i urge you to vote in favor of a. >> same house, same call? >> in this resolution is adopted. >> resolution approving an agreement between the city in the county. president chiu: this resolution is also adopted.

how to move to roll call. >> roll call for introductions. >> i have an item for the imperative agenda, it is a resolution declaring june 23, 2011 to be the fire marshal recognition day. he began working for the san francisco fire department back in 1993. firefighters were rare to the department. she honed her skills working in many different firehouses. she became a valued and beloved member of the fire department's family and was praised for her culinary experience. she was promoted to inspector in 1997 where she excelled, developing a well-earned reputation for being consistent, fair, and having encyclopedic knowledge of the fire code. she was promoted to lieutenant

in 2003 and proceeded to set new standards in the bureau of fire prevention for training and professionalism. as fire marshal, she developed a new fire code standards for firefighter, safety, and high- rise innovations that have been studied and copied it nationwide. she has transformed the office into a modern, efficient, progressive and transparent operation. resolved, who like to declare june 23 this year in honor of her retirement and without contribution to the city and county of san francisco. supervisor mar: thank you, madam clerk. these are problems faced by san

francisco seniors. the deal with the declining health and mobility and can be difficult for many people. for those that have a few resources, they can be overwhelming. the mission and collaborative, it will be they provide services or interacting with seniors. the rest of will submit. president chiu: additional to having a very successful career, it is someone well-known in my district as a beloved trusty.

he passed away recently at the community service event. he was a vibrant member of the congregation, a remarkably good person who greeted many of the visitors had the doors of the cathedral and as someone extremely dedicated to community. he will be very much messed by the community as well as by his family and friends. i have a second for shirley. recently passed away after a battle with leukemia. she was a great chinese cook that began her career on a public channel television show. she was very famous around the world. a having created walking tours of chinatown, and one that she read it was making my way through chinatown.

get a tremendous sense of humor and has come from a very talented family including her brother that many of you out, a writer here in the bay area. the rest of my items, i will submit them. >> it wasn't that long ago that this board passed legislation that i introduced that responded to what i thought was a significant blow back of the redevelopment era. that is that there was no zoning regulation in excused and emerson -- emergent corridors that would have regulated or prohibited non storefront retail. we sought doctors' offices and others offices that had no real purpose to a on that side of the street. it was a very lopsided of fact that absolutely undermined the

potential for a good emergent corridor like the fillmore. as land use restrictions that we had passed will not allow for that to be permitted in the future. i am extending the same ever to japan town, is struggling area, one of three remaining in the united states, also has suffered from adverse effects, the development and urban renewal. there are those that want to have a storefront office space and denied the opportunity for mom-and-pop retail to be there. that does not do anything for a proper boy. like for them to correct the planning code now that it has reverted back to us as 2009,

amending the section of the san francisco planning code to prohibit a medical service used for service used on the ground floor in the area, and the japan out special use district in making environmental findings. supervisor campos: thank you, very much. let me wish everyone a very happy right week. another of the many facilities throughout the rest of the week and will afford to the pride parade this sunday. i have one item, let me thank the supervisor for being a sponsor of this item, an ordinance that amends the administrative code to require that separate over time items in the budget for certain departments, they have to

obtain a separate supplemental appropriations to exceed those amounts. as many of you are aware, the comptroller's office presented his overtime report. that item came to the government audit and oversight committee a few weeks ago. we were all disappointed to learn that the budgeted over time for fiscal year 2010-2011 is projected to be overspent by close to $40 million. we recognize that there may be some instances when overtime is appropriate. but what we have seen is the amount of money spent on overtime continues to increase and a 40 million expenditure above the amount is pretty significant. most of that over time, and 97% comes from the larger

departments and includes the fire, police, public health. public works, emergency management, recreation and parks. the top five departments account for 87% of the overtime hours. mta, fire, police, public health. we have to approve budgets for these departments and also received reports of overtime on a monthly basis. i did not believe we have the adequate tools to manage overtime and to make sure that we reduce the amount of overtime that is being spent. for that reason, this legislation that i am introducing, i want to thank the supervisor for his sponsorship

and his health in putting this together. it introduces good government and responsible budgeting into this process by amending the administrative cohan so that in order to make an expenditure that goes beyond the amount that has been budgeted, the top 10 departments have to come to the board of supervisors for approval. this is something that is already happening in terms of businesses containing over time expenditures in the private sector and it is only appropriate that we try to institute the same discipline. let me also noted that because of the way the mta were, we do not have the legal power to make this ordinance applied to the mta, and therefore, when this ordinance, we introduce a

resolution that encourages the mta to develop a plan to manage overtime overruns to adopt a policy that properly addresses the issue of overtime. the mta accounts for 5.4 million of the projected overruns in overtime for the fiscal year. and in fact, as it was made in 2011, it accounts for 41% of the total over time. i look forward to a full briefing and discussion of these items that the government thought it an oversight committee. the rest i submit, thank you. >> i really want to say, a quick happy birthday to william marshall who is here in the audience.

>> last week, it was her birthday. she is one of the youth commissioners that as a high school student. it was her birthday last week. we wanted to wish her happy birthday this week. supervisor farrell: 1 hearing request, that is in the community loan program, for those not familiar with this, it was administered by the mayor's office of housing for the police officers here in the states. we call a hearing to try to better understand the collective best of the program. and to understand the ways that we can make it better and expands to include the first responders on the ground. as you prepare for emergencies that we know will come at some

point, in particular, the next earthquake. how to call the different department heads and look forward to discussing it further, seeing no other names, mr. president, that concludes roll call for introductions. president chiu: let's go to general public comment. >> the opportunity to address the board for two minutes on subject matter jurisdiction including adoption without committee, excluding items that have already been considered by a board committee. they will be allowed at twice the amount of time. if they live like a document to be displayed on the projector, display and as such. >> 2 minutes per speaker >> they

don't accept money from the foundation. >> democracy is undercut by the ability to destroy truth and corporate interests. i hope you're able to make the library we open this weekend. they praised it as an example of our tax dollars at work. the branch remodeling, i don't have to tell you how egregiously wrong that is. it is scheduled to be completed in january of 2010. in this case, it is 30 months of delay. they increased the budget by 3 million and that inflated budget, whahat really matters is

that the politicians are out there. the most recent report reveals that the budget is expected to total 1.9 8 million and with 19 branches completed, the public has expanded 81% of their share. the friends of the foundation originally claimed it would raise 16 million edit today, they have extended to 7.1% of their share. the operator on the premise that they have no relationship whatsoever and if the public would be happy, we are only slaves anyway. the branch, like all others provided plenty of naming opportunities that can be sold [chime]vate benefit. president chiu: next speaker.
