even though the number of complaints against san francisco police officer is has steadily declined for the last two years, investigators still have an average of 23 cases. in looking at other staff shortages, we currently have four staff attorneys, they are tasked with legal review of complaints, subpoenas and document requests. policy analysis, and that is a charter mandated task. in evaluating staffing needs, it is my conclusion that we would need an enhancement of nearly $1 million to provide for four

journey level investigators. one supervising investigator, one attorney, and one information systems business analyst. just quickly addressing the remaining recommendations that we have not been able to finance, that is an automated system for investigation deadlines. it is only $7,000, but it is $7,000 we don't have in the budget. the last thing is to allow for online complaint filing. the cost of implementation is $12,000. to conclude, the audit recommendations are that a major overhaul in order. we have endeavored to make that major overhaul, but position

cuts and setting aside the enhancements that i recommend, the cuts of 5% over five years and the reduction targets will hinder our city progress that we have been making toward meeting our goals. however, we will continue to endeavor and provide equality and on time product. >> i was at the meeting with the mayor regarding the cuts, but the reality is that it is an across-the-board cut for every agency. what do you anticipate in terms of negotiation? what can we do to ensure that the investigators get down to a 16-person case load.

and what other things would you like for us to do to get you numbers where you should be to meet the national standards. it is in part for us to keep the mediation program in place, to keep investigators working on these cases. it is a good news that the complaints are down. that has to do with how reached and we have to keep that going. a lot of this is negotiable, we want to be part of that because your budget is not half a billion dollars, it is much smaller. hopefully we will get a little wiggle room with your budget. i want to reference the other commissioners, making sure that they know about the odd and oversight committee report that said it was a disaster, and you have changed that. 41 recommendations, 38 r mask. when you go back to the

committee, i will go back to the audit and oversight committee to explain. i of the supervisor -- i know supervisor campos was very supportive. you have our support. >> thank you very much. the role that the police commission under your leadership can play if you continue to communicate the message of the need for enhancing and not reducing our budget. commissioner slaughter: how does the city calculate 300 made thousand dollars for your rent which just seems a tad disproportionate to me. what does that and up per square foot of your space? i have been to your space, you have done an incredible amount

with it. i can't imagine is $308,000 for the space. that is nuts. >> i don't have an answer to your question as to how the city calculates rent. commissioner slaughter: the answer from your perspective is that is what it is. >> that is what i had when i arrived. the space was already rented, and it has manhattan when it is. commissioner slaughter: has increased or has it been this amount? >> in has been the some of the entire time. commissioner slaughter: -- it has been the same the entire time. commissioner slaughter: the and of the square footage?

>> i do not. -- and do you know the square footage? >> i do not. commissioner slaughter: i hope that in the next budget cycle, we will find money for that. the larger question is personnel, obviously, but those seem like low hanging fruit that we should be able to attack. >> can i piggybacked on that? with regard to the automatic system, is that a one-time cost? >> one time costs. commissioner marshall: if we found $29,000, it would be done? sorry, $20,000. ok. it seem slike -- seems like in

terms of outside, i know you've looked at the landscape, the department often goes outside and find grants when there are no federal money , talking about innovation was a big deal with him. >> is much more difficult for a civilian oversight agencies to find funding. it is not generally associated with police departments. commissioner marshall: even if you are linked with the department? ok. commissioner kingsley: director hicks, thank you for yoru rep -- your report. i would like to piggyback on the comments regarding the system. it seems like a small amount of

money for a very important feature. just to be part of the twenty first century, we could have on line complaint potential, i just want to second that. in a larger sense, i know that the budget is part of the overall department budget. and you happen to know how the amount was allocated to begin with? is it a percentage of the department budget? how did that figure come about? it seems to be operating according to charter mandates or the comptroller's office. your about 25% short. got that is correct.

-- >> that is correct. commissioner kingsley: i am wondering if you have any thoughts on that, it seems like it wasn't appropriately set to begin with. so you are working at an additional handicap. >> thank you very much for that question. it is a mystery as to how the budget was set. there are things missing and we do not have the human resources position in the budget, nor was it given any money to contract with human-resources. when i arrived in late 2007, the director did not have an executive assistant attached to it. the commission asked the chief

kelowna that position so that i could have an executive assistant. we do not have a high level finance person to develop a budget. nor has it been provided contract money to do so. the only thing that is guaranteed is the minimum staffing set forth in the charter, and the comptroller points out that might not be the best way to determine how many investigators one needs. one should look at the number of cases that come in. >> a long winded answer to your question. commissioner kingsley: going

back around the rent, that jumped out at me. this is a city government kind of question. this every energy -- does every entity elihown a line item, or s the city own that building? >> this is a city building . if i needed to expand space, the real estate department would ask me where in my budget i can pay for additional space. commissioner kingsley: does the department pay rent? ok. commissioner chan: 80 for the presentation of the budget, it

is great that you have brought this early on. i wanted to ask you about the investigators. i know you have brought several investigators to meet us at prior commission meetings, and i see this with the budget summary, their idea to remove an investigative position. i am wondering to the extent you can say, how sound are the new investigator positions? i think we met about three are for new investigators. >> as i pointed out, i have not made any final decisions as to which positions will be reduced in the office. what i would say is that there is a large target i have to meet and all i have our positions to meet that target.

what happened in the past, at one point we were promised the 17 positions, it was reduced to 16, 15, this is all during my tenure. one position has been added back and now is 16. we have a clerical staff of only seven principal clerks, three typists, to senior clerk typists, and a senior account clerk. and i pointed out that there are four lawyers, there is one in relation systems business analyst. what i will say about our clerical staff is that in addition to taking care of

documents that command, they also act as the receptionist, we don't have -- and any reduction in any staff is very difficult. commissioner chan: and this can you have had the verse and a talented staff. a number of languages you're able to address with a limited personnel is quite impressive. i support you in advocating for the strongest but impossible. pesident mazzucco: any further questions? thank you for your budget presentation. we will work with you for the pot -- through the process. item 2c. >> item 2c, commission

reports. >> i briefly have a report that i intended the -- attended the ininauguration of mayor lee. it was a simple but elegant affair. i want to know that in his speech, he talked about the true heroes out there, does that make this a safe city. he mentioned dr. marshall. i wanted to say that was great. it was ag rat -- a great event. >> i do. on monday, i got a chance to sit in on the two-day training for the unemotional survival of law enforcement, and i was really impressed. it was the officers that

received a promotion were required to attend that training. i noticed a lot of different officers with their family members receiving the training. i learned an immense amount. because officers have to be at a heightened state of awareness, way beyond what other people need for their own physical safety, when they go home, there is a plan of energy and emotion. the trainer talked about how he personalized officers and how they changed and sometimes deteriorated. he encouraged officers to dustoff fishing poles, and jim memberships, and focus on the part of their lives. i just want to put in a plug for officers to attend those training in the future. i know that he hasn't always been here every year.

>> he is fantastic, and all of the new lieutenants and captains were there at some of them had their spouses come back. i got my book autographed. >> i saw 50-100. >> great. thank you, chief, for doing that. >> i will be there to encourage members of the chinese community to be careful as we walk into this very important here of the dragon, the bloodiest year in the zodiac cycle. pesident mazzucco: anything else? commissioner kingsley: was the presentation taped? >> he did not want to be taped. >> commissioner announcements

and the scheduling of items identified for future commission meetings. pesident mazzucco: i think we have to items that need to be scheduled. commissioner kingsley: irresolution of scheduling and prioritizing for the commission. pesident mazzucco: lt. riley and -- can we get that on for the next agenda? >> one comment in connection with this item. when you get the resolution, don't freak out that there are some many items under it. the discussion for next week is to discuss what we are trying to do with the resolution rather than go line item underneath that. just a heads up to give you an idea of the idea behind it.

commissioner slaughter: we talked before the end of the year about scheduling a time to discuss our meeting schedule. i suggested that perhaps we want to reduce the number of meetings that we have in this room is that we can do more when we are not in this room. i think it relates to what commissioner kingsley is discussing next week. it would reduce us to three meetings a month rather than 4. my suggestion would be to make sure we get the community meetings back on calendar, one meeting out in the community. i would like to get that on the calendar for next week if we have time.

>> if we can add that for next week, too. >> i believe the quarterly reports are due next week, but from what i understand, it shouldn't take too long. >> are those items going to be discussion items for discussion and action items? >> discussion on the resolution. >> mine would be an action item. >> i will pay attention -- >> dr. marshall? commissioner marshall: it doesn't have to be on next week, because we have invested so much money in this, can we have an idea of when we look at

the report and what you would like to see kept or eliminated? >> anything further, commissioners? it is time for public comment regarding line items 2 a, b, c, or d. this is related to the crime report, so you are perfectly fine. >> p name isau-- my name is paulette brown.

i wanted to use the overhead concerning my son. i don't know why it is not showing. >> i am trying to get it to work here. >> he was murdered august 14, 2006. it's going on august of this year, six years. i'm still out there fighting to get justice for my son. i am still grieving for my child.

i just wanted to come here to keep his memory alive and let you know that it is a cold case and let everyone here that i am still fighting for my child and to get justice for him. he was killed in the northern panhandle, he was a good boy. i just wanted to let you know that i will still be coming back to keep this in the light for people to see. i still want justice for my child, and what ever i can do to help, i will help. i just need help, i need something done about this. like i said, i'm still grieving. i don't believe i will ever get over it.

i have just been gone because i have been in school. it's hrad. -- hard. please keep my son's memory alive, please. get his face out there for people to know. i would like these posters to have a permanent place for them. when i put them outside, people tear them down. i have been living there all these years when it has not been saved. it was not safe for my son. if we can work on that, i would appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you for coming, and your son's memory, most commissioners are familiar with you. a lot of what we do appear that may not make sense to some folks

about budgets and issues like that are also to prevent things like this from happening. please keep coming. any further public comment regarding these items? public comment is closed. >> item 3, public comment on all matters pertaining to item 5, the closed session including public comment on voting whether to hold it in closed session. pesident mazzucco: any public comment? public comment is closed. >> item 4, a vote on whether to hold item five in closed session. pesident

>> mr. president, we have concluded the items 5 a and b. commission is returning to open session. for the record, the presence of zero commissioners except for commissioner turman who was excused this evening. pesident mazzucco: do i have a motion on disclosure or nondisclosure? all in favor? thank you. the public comment? >> lastly, adjournment for which we need a motion. >> move to adjourn. pesident mazzucco: thank you very much, everybody. >> this concludes business at 8:00 the seven. -- 8:07.

when a resident of san francisco is looking for health care, you look in your neighborhood first. what is closest to you? if you come to a neighborhood health center or a clinic, you then have access it a system of

care in the community health network. we are a system of care that was probably based on the family practice model, but it was really clear that there are special populations with special needs. the cole street clinic is a youth clinic in the heart of the haight ashbury and they target youth. tom woodell takes care of many of the central city residents and they have great expertise in providing services for many of the homeless. potrero hill and southeast health centers are health centers in those particular communities that are family health centers, so they provide health care to patients across the age span. . >> many of our clients are working poor. they pay their taxes. they may run into a rough patch now and then and what we're

able to provide is a bridge towards getting them back on their feet. the center averages about 14,000 visits a year in the health clinic alone. one of the areas that we specialize in is family medicine, but the additional focus of that is is to provide care to women and children. women find out they're pregnant, we talk to them about the importance of getting good prenatal care which takes many visits. we initially will see them for their full physical to determine their base line health, and then enroll them in prenatal care which occurs over the next 9 months. group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have similar due dates. our doctors here are family doctors. they are able to help these women deliver their babies at the hospital, at general hospital. we also e
