let's do july 28. how does the commission feel about july 27th. july 27th. nobody wants to come on the 28th. july 27. >> the 27th, commissioners? president mazzucco: the 27th. yes. ok. any public comment regarding line items 2, a, b, c or d? ms. grove. >> my concern is simple. i want my protection and to have my protection, that means my officers have to be protected. if you want to give them a presentation on how nut cakes act, habitually when trying to accost an officer, try to kill an officer, wound or maim an officer when an officer isn't supposed to respond because the nut cakes in control, i think you better think again. the officer's life is much more

important than any twit that wants to be pretending he wasn't taking his very education -- his medication so he can't be held responsible for any of his actions. that is the latest thing that is set forth here. there are so many false statements coming forth from the psychiatric profession, i consider them entirely fraud. the officers are to be protected, and i think the citizens are to be protected. they want to go around like last week with a broken bottle and knife and you get shot dead, well, too bad for him. there was an officer being buried over across the bay with on the same day they tried to have a nut cake routine on the freeway, gee, that didn't work either. he got shot dead. that's the way it should be handled if they want to attack an officer. thank you. president mazzucco: any further comment? hearing none, next item. item 3. >> item 3 is public comment on all matters pertaining to item 5 below, closed session

disciplinary cases including public comment on the vote whethero hold item 5 in closed session. president mazzucco: commissioner chan asked a question about a department bulletin. follow up? >> so the difference in the bulletin, if you look at the fourth paragraph, the district attorney -- we agreed with the district attorney's office that permission would be obtained in writing on the permission to search form prior to executing the search and that any oral permission would be audio taped. so in the past, sometimes permission would be given and then if you didn't have the form or you didn't have the tape recorder, when you got back to the station, you would ask the person to sign the format the time, no problem, or you would ask them, hey, i'm going to put you on tape, we're going to have a conversation, remember, you gave me permission to search and you do it after the fact. so now we're requiring it to be

in writing on the form or orally and on tape beforehand. if you forgot the form, go get the form. if you don't have the tape recorder, get the tape recorder and get it down before you go in. the final paragraph, the fifth paragraph is a reminder of the new requirement that came out in department bulletin 11077 where we've made so many great cases starting with the mrs. chin case at third and palu that the video we're requiring that the officers survey an area for any and all video even if it might be hand-held by a witness via cell phone and if you cannot find any video to actually put a line in the police report so that the officers know that they have to at least do everything they can do to find it. if they locate video they have to take all measures they can to secure the video as best evidence. otherwise the rest of the bulletin is pretty much just a reminder boilerplate language of our obligations.

president mazzucco: commissioner turman? commissioner turman: thank you. chief, i've read the bulletin. in fact, you borrowed mine. but i just want to point out and be clear on this, that i think that obtaining a record of the actual consent is a very -- it's a good idea, it's a good practice. also, it is tempered, however, by practice considerations of circumstances, is it not because there may be circumstances we are not for one reason or another able to obtain the necessary writing or audio recording. i'm not saying we should excuse it in any way but we need to make sure that we understand that we're requiring this and that there might be circumstances in which this can't be practically accomplished. is that correct? >> yes, it is. but the district attorney wants us to understand that he is

saying it's a requirement so we have to understand that if he decides not to proceed because we didn't comply with this bulletin that that's an expense we may incur, however we would still try to make the case as best we can at the time. commissioner turman: thank you. president mazzucco: any follow-up public comment? hearing none, public comment is closed. we can move to line item 3 which was previously announced which is public comment regarding closed session matters. as we discussed earlier, these are disciplinary mattered protect bid copely versus strength decision and the police officers bill of rights s. there public comment regarding the closed session matters? hearing none, public comment is closed. please call line item 5. >> item 4 is a vote whether to hold item 4 in closed session. >> so moved. >> second. president mazzucco: all in favor. aye. ladies and gentlemen, we're now moving to closed sessisi

>> we are back in open session. >> we have the same commissioners. we are going to item number six, a vote whether to disclose any or all discussions on item five held on closed session. "move not to disclose. >> second. >> excuse me, did we skip item 5 f on the agenda? >> that was a discussion that we pretty much already had earlier regarding the first matter. >> so those two things that i discussed will be in the close

-- >> are we calendar in those now? >> let's calendar the closed session item. this is for the 27th. >> the 27 of -- >> july. >> that is to discuss the disciplinary matters that the city attorney was going to present a couple of months ago but got deferred. we have already handled the second matter. >> without objection on the motion. >> we have a motion for nondisclosure regarding the closed session matter. >> second. >> all those in favor. >> public comment. >> item number7 is adjournment. >> do we have a motion? >> so moved.

>> very good. perfect timing, mayor. [applause]

>> actually, mayor, i was just at the part of the program where i was going to introduce. it is now my pleasure to introduce the honorable edwin lee, the honorable mayor of the city and county of san francisco? would you mind saying a few words? >> well, thank you. i guess my timing is still ok. everybody, thank you for being here. housing, and especially affordable housing, is such a challenge these days. with the economy the way it is, with the lack of help we get from the feds and the state, we have to do a lot on our own. that means we have to have the most creative people working in partnerships with the other committed creative people in our community. so it is no wonder you have got the union bank, wells fargo working together with the federal home loan bank.

you've got the institute of aging working with bridge housing. you've got redevelopment working with the mayor's office. everybody, including our public health department, all putting their best synergies together to create this fantastic place that when i walked in, the first thing i asked was where was my unit. just to understand, you have 125 units, 25 of which are going to be targeted for our most frail, our most vulnerable, sitting on top of two floors of fantastic health -social service-corrective type supportive things we did do for our seniors. it is that type of magic that says only in san francisco can we open this kind of thing up like this when everybody else is talking about layoffs, shutting down, not getting started, not even having good

conversations at all. take a look around you. i think we are really lucky to be in a city to have people that are so committed to working together. and i wallace want to -- also want to thank everybody. the neighborhoods had the problem with the size and the mass, and we found a way to get through that, to find a common agreement, to look forward to a day like this to see the seniors as happy as they are to have an affordable unit here in the middle of our great city. this is a wonderful plushment, and i know there was a lot of sweat, a lot of tears behind doing all of this, and i want to thank everybody involved in it. especially bridge. you are such a magnifique accept housing provider and developer. you have done wonderful things working alongside the institute. it is a marvelous combination. i am here to say thank you to everybody who participated in this. as i saw down it street,

looking to see what we were going to do with the old coronet, how it was going to be here and how it was going to transform, and i am so glad so many people made this happen. for future generations of people who are going to come here, serviced here, live here in a comfortable way, and then to make sure this serves as yet another example as to why we fight for redevelopment, why we do things right in the city. to make sure fred maxwell, doug and others keep these examples coming. in san francisco, we will continue doing it right. now they don't get paid up there until they start listening to people and getting the work done. thank you very much for this opportunity. [applause] >> mayor, thank you so much four thoughts, and he about couldn't agree with you more. i have to say that the redevelopment agency, the city

and county of san francisco, have been stellar partners for bridge, and we appreciate your candid attitude. thank you very much, and i would like to give you this as an appreciation. >> well, thank you very much. [applause] >> another great partner of bridge's --

supervisor mirkarimi: welcome to the public safety committee. to my right is malia cohen and to my left, david campos. joining us is president david chiu. please read the first item. >> item 1. resolution authorizing the san francisco department of public health to retroactively accept and expend a grant in the amount of $205,000 from department of justice to fund the project entitled "san francisco community justice center intensive outpatient program" 2010, through september 30, 2011. supervisor mirkarimi: is there

anybody here that would like to present on that? thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. the item before you is accept and expend in the amount of $205,000 to create some of infrastructure development in the it fold at the community justice center. department of public health was successful in applying a solicitation to the federal government to create a program on site at the community justice center. as a result of that application, we were invited to apply for a supplemental on one of money to use for development at the community justice center. these funds will greatly enhance our ability to develop and create and install a wide

network connectivity in the facility, as well as workstation connectivity, as well as assist us in accessing data with our criminal justice partners. if you have any questions, i am here to answer any that you may have. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. it said that years two and three are also part of the program. does the funding extend into those two years as well? >> because this is mostly infrastructure creation, the bulk of the expenses will be expense of all over the first fiscal year. and we have an additional amount with regards to maintenance, $47,000 in year two, $48,000 in year three. this is just a one time thing. supervisor mirkarimi: very good.

colleagues, questions or comments? supervisor campos: thank you for being here, everybody. just a question about the retroactivity of the item. i understand the grand award was awarded in november 2010. >> there were two parts to the grant application. the first part was submitted in september to the federal government. we were not technically invited to apply for a supplemental amount until later. for whatever reason, the fed's decided to include in the funding cycle, however, we did not received official notification that we had received this grant until mid- may. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. is there any member of the public that would like to comment?

seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, entertain a motion. supervisor campos: move forward with recommendations. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. item two. >> i did ttem 2. hearing on the status of the implementation of justis, a project to consolidate the city's criminal justice data. supervisor mirkarimi: i know that this is something that many of us were hoping to get an update on, given the and upgrade of the justice program. thank you for president to for facilitating this hearing today. >> i want to thank the members of the public and members of the aqaba to talk about the justis project. let me provide some background to our colleagues and the public. we have a number of

presentations from folks about where exactly we are. today's hearing is about the status of implementation of an i.t. project that has had a tortured history. the justice -- justis project began in 1941997. the project's purpose was to track cases and to allow for the sharing of data among various criminal justice departments. the current a antiquated system uses technology dating back to 1974. this is technology with numerous problems, including the inability to search for the case histories of the beds were to route -- reduce report quickly. the lack of any data into the system has tied the hands of our law enforcement agencies in difficult and significant ways.

the justice system was supposed to be put in place by 2001. as we know, in 2000, there was a victim of domestic violence, a murder. hurd beth was likely preventable, had a criminal history -- heard debt was likely preventable, had a history of her suspect been shared between departments. in 2002, the commission on the status of women produced a report that recommended a variety of improvements, including the development of this system. at the time, $6 million had been spent on the justis project. that was nine years ago. in 2007, the report that i am holding reviewed the project. that report slammed city

government forbade the mismanaging this long and overdue project. among the findings, it found the project lacked strong budget management, project management, or executive leadership of the mayor's office of criminal justice. in 2010, the justice project -- justis project had expanded. i have heard that we have spent about $22 million. i have yet to give precise figures. in the first in months of 2010, the project had four leaders at the department of technology, but we never were told when the end date on the project would happen. last year, we held a hearing in march, to ask for a status update. we were told that progress was being made and the project would be completed. obviously, it is now july of 2011. several months ago, the border

supervisors approved an amendment that trend for the administration and implementation of the justice program from the department of technology to the city administrator's office and gave the minister direct control of oversight. it is my understanding that over the past six months we have had quite a bit of progress on this project, and i requested today's hearing so that we could understand how we arrived at where we are today, after 14 years and tens of millions of dollars over budget, as well as to learn about the progress and reject the hopefuls to completion. this is not just the budgetary issue. this is not just a law enforcement issue. this data system that we need to put in place we need to do so we can save lives. we have a number of folks who will present today. first, we will hear from linda young from the city

administrator's office. she will be followed by eileen hurst, the justis co- chair. i also know that we have representatives from the police department, d.a.'s office, and superior courts to answer questions. ms. young, please make your presentation. >> thank you for this opportunity to be before you today. i am the deputy city administrator. i ago a lot of the comments that the supervisors book about. this is an important project for the citizens to save lives. when this project was moved over, we convened a government council, and that that with each member of those departments. they are here in the audience. i want to acknowledge the team behind you, who is committed to moving this project forward. it is the city it this triggers office including the acting city

it minister, the sheriff's department, the court + executive officer is with us, the district attorney, adult probation public defender's office, department of status of women, police department, and the part of technology are here to answer any questions today. if you have any questions, please let me know. justis tracking information is justice. what it will do -- justis tracking information system will replace the 35-year old mainframe system. it is called the court management system. it will integrate all of the city and county criminal-justice agencies case management systems. it will allow each department to develop its own case management system, allow each department to

gather and share information, secure with each other automatically through a centralized hub, and result in a more efficient criminal justice information center. the program has had numerous changes of sponsorship and management. in the past, held that the mayor's office of criminal justice as well as the department of technology. in 2003, the program was reorganized with its own governance structure and the government's council and technical steering committee was formed. at the department level, we had multiple changes in either department heads or technical staff. the transfer function occurred

in january 2011 when the mayor asked the board to amend the administrative code and the board unanimously approved that in march. that gave city administrator direct control justis program and continue to ask for technical support from dt. from a program organization point of view, the yellow box here is the executive sponsor. we provide oversight and operational decisions. the justice governance council provides budget decision making. the green box here shows the members. the sheriff's department is a co-chair, adult probation department status of women, the attorney, the emergency management, to the provision, mayor's office, please come out of the tender, superior court, and the department technology as a non-voting member. weekly, the technical steering committee meets in we reviewed

financial and technical issues. from a project manager point of view, we have two people here to answer questions. i know this is a busy chart, but this is what the court management system is, the old, and acquitted mainframe system is causing all of this information. if you look at the little box, this is the kind of information it is housing right that it it has court case information, district attorney assignment and caseload. for the public defender, court calendars, court case information, public defenders assigned its and caseload. for the sheriff's, it tell them about the people and where they can the house, where they can be

transported so they can appear before the court. this system is now being replaced, and this is the justis program that if i could explain the coloring. green means it has been complete. yet no is in progress. red means it is pending. blue is face to, where we have not identified funding for those portions. when we talk about the case management system table, it is the screen box here. that is now connected to the hub and sharing information as that information is being connected, for example, to the sheriff's department. add green mind and it is connected to the hub and the share of is receiving and sending information through that hot as we speak. where we are focusing our

efforts next are the yellow lines. the department working and case management systems and the justice program needs to connect those departments to the hub so not only is the sheriff and district attorney's office getting information, so the public defender, adult probation, and all the apartments are hooked up. from a program point of view, after the transfer of functions, we move the budget and staff. staff is now in a secure location separate from other city staff, so they can emerge from this public safety issue with confidence. be completed two rounds of recruitment. this project was that to have eight members. when the project was transferred to us, we only have four. we have had two recruitment about one internal promotion of a very
