the community, i will recommend that it is translated in spanish and cantonese. if i am putting out a community alert for a robbery series in a certain area or any kind of uptick in crime that i need to post, then i will certainly crime -- contact community relations and work with them, the immigrant affairs, and have it translated and send it out. rarely will you see me and something ought with one language. >> captain, thank you so much for a three presentation on a number of different aspects about the ingleside station. very glad to see such a broad reaching program and operations. i would like to hear more about your distracted driver campaign. you did not actually have any statistics that one along with that, the way you did with your robbery abatement operations. is there anything you can share with us on that? >> the distracted driver

campaign is just part in, still in the implementation phase. i had a staff meeting a week ago where i laid out a number of operations at my officers are handling. that is one of them. the impetus behind it, i am looking at lowering traffic collisions. i plan to use a coordinated approach where i used bicycle officers to ride around different areas because they are sitting up high, but at the same time, not necessarily seem like you would in a black and white with the bells and whistles. identifying people who are talking on cell phones, doing what ever, and then radioing to a motorcycle unit who is close by to make a traffic stop and then citation to the driver for talking on their cell phone. >> is the program directly targeted at cell phone users?

perhaps individuals such as iphone had gone? i see a lot of that while driving. is it directed at that, as well as other distractions? >> it is directed primarily towards the violation of law. you hit the nail on the head. i would love to have california have a law that you cannot read the paper or eat what you are driving. i find that to be just as much as a distraction, but now, they are not a violation. >> if i did not eat and drive, i probably would not eat half the time. i will try to cut down. >> thank you, on behalf of the commission, for your presentation. thank you for putting this together tonight and think you to the members of the community that came out. we probably need to address the

issue with reference to the website. next time they come on here, we will probably have a bigger turnout. language access is important, so we should look at that website to see what is going on. >> we hear this a lot and obviously, there were some other things occurring. chief, if you might say something about -- we get the request a lot more. could you just talk about the factor that do not necessarily allow that? i guess you thought about that. you have been moved around. just some of the thinking that goes into why someone does not

always stay at a station. >> in this instance, lou was a fabulous capt. here. he also had strong experience in crime scene investigation and forensics. the captain who undertook the crime lab recertification and investigation, shepherded that from where it was to where it is, we needed someone who could hit the ground running and keep on going. we consulted with the captain as to who would be a and able replacement. the only person that she could think of a was lou. it is important to keep the crime lab moving. having capt. mahoney available,

it seemed like a great fit. i think it has been. normally, at least as far as i'm concerned, i would but to see the captain see those -- spend those three years that mary is talking about. normally, when someone is promoted, the community is happy for their captain and understands. is when they move around a letter early short of three years that it confound the community. i do not want to do that. >> since i have been on the commission, we like our captains to stay there, but there are a lot of factors that go into the apartment and decisions to move people. the one i generally heard was, we would like to give individuals different experiences in the city. i just wanted to hear some of the other things that happened.

i know you consider that, and it is hard for you as a chief to pass a law, somebody is going to be there for three years. i just wanted to hear, if it can happen, please, but these things that go into consideration when we move somebody. >> [inaudible] >> knowing that mary harris and mary tran are from ingleside, i

thought the transition was critical. and steve career. i did not want to leave you out. -- steve courier. >> the good news is, the heart and soul of the department is not move around. the captains are pretty much uniform in terms of leadership, but you have a strong team out here. >> any further comments? commissioner cahan. >> i just wanted to thank you for the reminder about the language access. we have voted on the language and prayer access -- priority access, doing that more in the future. translating websites, making sure any kind of community engagement, reports of crime, especially, should be translated

so that members of the community know. there is no point in putting them out if half the community cannot understand. not just ingleside, but dropped all district stations. we passed a general order last year on general access but the implementation has been slow. >> we have recovered some items for future consideration but maybe we should look at some more meetings in the future. >> last week, we listed our priorities. i know is pretty soon that we are going to look at that. we will have another chance to do that. >> especially in light of the presentation, the captain spoke about an incident witabout a robbery that was not even reported due to the language access. fear of the police, not feeling

comfortable. that is a strong case for which probably move this sooner than anticipated. maybe next week when we do our scheduling, her priorities are ready to go, and maybe we can move that in to address that issue in the near future. commissioners, anything further? we have completed the presentation of the captain. line item #4. we have had public comment. >> item 4 is at adjournment. >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? aye. thank you, everybody.

>> to address these concerns, i have made a series of amendments to the resolution that capture the spirit of the policy but would allow continued conversation with the task force and other stakeholders about how we do metering. i believe strongly that the city needs to start developing toes to help create affordable housing. in our housing element alone, we talk about building a 60% affordable, but we are currently not doing that. it is important to start the discussion about creating tools

of measuring our affordable housing and creating tools to enforce that. i grew up in new york city, one to my parents who had immigrated here to the u.s. actually, i started really becoming active in working with the community when i was in high school. came out to california for college, went to stanford. i was always politically involved. when i was a college student, i worked on the initiative to get rid of affirmative action in our public government system. currently, we have 3 legislative items that are pending. the first is going to be coming to a final vote on tuesday, our mid-market uptown tenderloin task exemption legislation. it is basically an incentive to encourage businesses to come to mid-market. in particular, where we have the highest commercial vacancy. and then when i graduated, moved

out to san francisco about 12 years ago. i always loved sanford cisco in college, and i just wanted to try it out. i started working in economic development policy. i was a community organizer for six years. i worked with young people, parents, and families around issues that concern our neighborhoods, whether it was improving muni lines, affordable housing, public schools, or just planning issues in neighborhoods. we just had a hearing last week, and we are trying to do some work around bedbug enforcement, which is a major issue in the tenderloin and of hill and 63. a hearing will actually be on thursday, april 7, 10:30. we're doing our first hearing on pedestrian safety. i think public safety is a huge concern. it ranges from both low-level crimes to pedestrian safety, and so that is a really important

issue to me. we are probably more than double what every other district has. and that are preventable. and we can do better. district 6 is one -- home to one of the most diverse constituencies. we have the poorest residents in san francisco. we have lgbt. we have immigrants, people of color, youth, and a high proportion of seniors in the city as well. we heard that people want to see more jobs, want to see access to more jobs for our residents. we want to see more preventive instead of just reactive. we want to see after-school programs versus the police picking them up because they are out on the street, which i think our chief agrees with. i actually ran for the board of education in san francisco and got to serve a term on our school board. what really surprised me was how much i enjoyed it. i loved it.

i love meeting with families, meeting with youth, meeting with teachers, visiting schools, and getting a deeper understanding of what it means to make our system work better. the one thing i really enjoyed was i got to run within a district instead of citywide, was that i really got to know voters and residents. i actually enjoy campaigning more because i had time to knock on doors and the voters individually. i'd love it. i actually really enjoyed being out on the field. so i spent a lot of time doing it because i got to really get a deeper understanding of what people care about and what people's concerns are and also what people loved about the district and the city. i was talking with the mayor yesterday. he was very interested in seeing how the good work with our office -- how he could work with our office. i would love to see how we could support small businesses because they are the heart at san francisco.

they provide 60% 07% of the jobs in sanford cisco, and they provide it locally, and they are not going to offshore their jobs any time. i am not an opponent of cleaning up the tenderloin. i love the tenderloin. i love what is right now. i recognize we have a diversity of books that live there and people do not want to see open drug dealing. i do not have a problem with people lit think -- people out on the street socializing. i think that is good. that to me is more -- you know, it is part of the character of the neighborhood. i get to represent one of the most exciting and dynamic districts in the city. it is where change is happening, so i think it is exciting in terms of how we can model what it means to be a smart growth neighborhood, how we can use transit and housing effectively to serve our city and also to do a lot of the new green policies that we have developed over the last 10 years.

supervisor chu: good morning. welcome to the budget and finance committee. >> please turn off all cell phones. if you submit copies of documents to the committee. items discussed it will appear on the board of supervisors in jeddah on july 12, 2011, unless otherwise stated.

week with regard to the general direction of the department among other things, if we could just concentrate on the budget analyst recommendations and where you are with those? >> yes, good morning. director of the office and economic workforce development -- we work diligently with the budget analyst over the last week, and i am pleased to say that we are in agreement with their recommendation. there is one recommendation that i believe is memorialized in their report to you that we have for the negotiated since it was published, and i believe we have agreed that it will be withdrawn. that one is specifically the disapproval of intern exemptions of the four new america's cup positions, and having those positions be effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year on july 1, rather than those positions being 0.9 position that would have gone into effect on august 1, but other than that one

modification, we are in full agreement with the budget analyst recommendation. >> madam chair, and members of the committee, we have recommended reductions of $74,744, but we will adjust that for the reasons just stated by the department. we would just advise this morning -- and this recommendation, supervisors, on page 7 is the last times on page 7 where we say "disapproval of the interim exceptions for these four positions that do not perform revenue-generating and critical department functions." we were just advised this morning that those positions are actually existing positions in other departments that will be transferred to this department. on that representation, we withdraw that recommendation, and we will adjust our total recommendations for the salary

for that one month as well as the mandatory fringe benefits. supervisor chu: thank you. if i understand correctly, there was a series of recommendations with regard to reclassification, and the department is in agreement with those recommendations. >> correct. there were down with substitutions for the three positions and one remains the same period supervisor chu: with regards to the -- the same. supervisor chu: the budget analyst is withdrawing their recommendation and saying that it is fine for a july 1 start because these are all existing individuals who are employed by the city. >> just one other clarification -- on page nine, we have a reserve recommendation, so we will take out that portion of the interim for the reserve amount, and we will work with the controller for that specific

adjustment. supervisor chu: thank you. are there any questions from the committee? if there are no questions, if there is an agreement, we will take that without objection. >> one further clarification -- i am sorry -- at the recommended reduction that i initially said that i will adjust downward, it does not affect that amount. it just affect the reserve amount. just for the record. >> that is consistent with what i see as well. supervisor chu: ok, thank you. we will go to the next apartment. redevelopment agency. >> good morning, supervisors. we are in complete agreement with the budget analyst, and we want to thank everyone for the wonderful budget process thus far. supervisor chu: ok, so, the redevelopment agency is in agreement.

any comments from the budget analyst on the redevelopment agency? >> no further comment other than that our total recommended reductions are $459,572, including $215,999, which are general fund reductions. supervisor chu: just a question for either the city attorney or the controller's office, do we need to do anything else to get actually these recommendations? >> supervisors, know. if they agency concurs with the budget analyst recommendations, no action is required by the board. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor kim: just wanted to thank redevelopment on the memo on some of my questions. i still have a concern -- this is not just redevelopment,

actually. it is general, any reduction in funding for workforce development and job training, but i understand we have and others that led to some of those reductions. just showing that we have a continuance of job training. >> just to clarify, the committed -- the commission had committed over $4 million over three years for workforce development, and we are now in the second phase of the 18 months. while we did see the exploration of the area and the tax increment seceded, we did provide extra funds. just to keep in note that with all of our funding, and i think there were some reductions in some workforce organizations this year, we did more money in it organizations. that said, we were mindful that some of the organization's were

not serving our project areas. under those recommendations, we cannot use our tax increment for anything outside of our project area. that is why some of the reductions were made and some of our budget as a nonprofit workforce organizations, and in other jurisdictions like mission bay, transbay, and the shipyard, so we increased funding in that area because they were serving our area. but over all, we are on target and will probably exceed funding. >> appreciate that. we try to help individuals with multiple barriers to employment. that is really important for our residents. supervisor chu: thank you, supervisor, and thank you to the redevelopment agency for working with our budget analyst to come to agreement. we appreciate that. ok, moving on. department of building inspection.

>> good morning. the department of building inspection has actually agreed with the budget analyst's decision or the budget office's decision, and we have gotten complete agreement. supervisor chu: sounds like the department is in agreement with the recommended changes that would result in a reduction of $984,000. >> yes. supervisor chu: with regards to the close out of prior year budgets for projects, $27,000 worth? >> yes, we do agree that. supervisor chu: budget analyst, any comments? >> i have no other comments. supervisor chu: if only they

would go this smoothly. thank you. >> you are welcome. we would like to thank everyone for helping us. supervisor kim: i apologize again because i forgot to bring harvey rose's report in with me, but i had a quick question. the question about having the interim deputy directors over the course of last week. i just want to know, what were the long-term plans for the third interim deputy director? i'm sorry, there are two deputy directors currently, but now there is a third interim deputy director? >> right. we have lawrence cornfield directed to the office so we have an acting as deputy director so we can make a decision as to whether that deputy director is sufficient, and we also have a vacant position. ed sweeney is filling in as both the inspection -- director of

inspection services and deputy director of code enforcement. supervisor chu: including your vacant position in the interim, how many deputy directors do you have? >> we have four. supervisor chu: there was a question posed to our office, and we were not able to figure out the answer. it was whether by charter, dbi was only allowed to have two deputy directors. >> that has been taken with the city attorney. the position for the code enforcement deputy director was a hired position, and we tx-ed a higher position down for administrative services director. those were actually budgeted at higher positions. we brought them down to a lower position so we would have a consistent management staff. supervisorch
