this is money, federal money that comes from the california department of education to the california department of ed down to first five san francisco. it's to develop a model for our quality rating and improvement system for early care and education. the money was given to first five because we were leveraging our prop 10 dollars and in san francisco leveraging our prop h dollars, and it's to continue what we've already been doing about building a quality improvement system in san francisco. >> great. thank you for being here. colleagues, any questions? supervisor mar. >> i wanted to ask ms. [speaker not understood], if you could talk a little about what first five has been doing to increase the quality already and how this would enhance what we're currently doing. >> sure. well, because of our city's universal pre-k prop h dollars and because of our prop 10 investment of uce, we have been

not only reimbursing programs, families to have a free half day program for four-year olds, but we've also developed a pretty comprehensive quality approvement system with pathways to quality. so, we invest in a lot of ta, a lot of coaching on-site, a lot of other things like mental health consultation, developmental screening, things like that, all to improve the quality. within the long run, to improve outcomes for children and that they're ready for kindergarten once they turn five. >> thank you. >> other questions? all right, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we have no vla report here for item number 3. at this point like to open up to public comment. any members of the public who wish to comment on item number 3, please stip fa step forward. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> approve with recommendation. >> we have a motion to a march aye number 3 and we can do that without opposition. mr. clerk, can you please call

after they received our certified copy this fall, they indicated that they had changed their requirement and actually requested that the three years be bundled into a single resolution by the local governing body. so, that's why we're here before you today, to request that correction. ultimately this will reduce what was an annual administrative requirement and streamline things in the long set, but thank you again for hearing this correction before you today, and we're here to answer any questions that you may have. i'm accompanied by the deputy chief of victim services, jackie arties. >> thank you. colleagues, any questions? okay, much appreciated. thanks for being here. we also don't have a vla report here. so, i'd like to open up to public comment. any members of the public who wish to comment on item number 4, please step forward. mr. folsom. good morning, budget and finance.

>> thank you. and we have laurel back from first five san francisco. >> good morning again, supervisors. so, this is -- we haven't been before you because we haven't exceeded the $10 million mark, but this year because of our wanting to backfill some state's cuts -- state cuts and also to increase enrollment for children who are losing their voucher, so they have another -- a fourth year of preschool, we are asking to amend our contract with children's council by $9.9 million. that would cover the reimbursement for these children based on the expansion and the backfill. >> okay, thank you. colleagues, any questions for laurel? okay. appreciate it, thank you very much. we do have a budget and legislative analyst report. mr. rose? >> mr. chairman and members of the committee, on page 4 of our report, we report that the

three-year budget for 12-13 through 13-14 of 40.7 million dollars under the proposed modified agreement, that's shown in table 2 on page 5 of our report. * as noted in table 2, the 136 preschool for all providers would be paid 9.4% of that 40.7 million or approximately $40,5 01,000. the children's council which simply provides the fiscal intermediary services would be allocated 6/10 percent of that amount or 229,000. so, nearly all of the money goes to the 136 providers. we recommend approval of this legislation as stated on page 6 of our report. >> thank you very much, mr. rose. and again, just to summarize, this is to provide some

retroactive payments, but also for future enrollment increases that are projected, correct? >> that is correct. >> okay. and i think we all agree that is a good thing when we have more enrollment in this situation. colleagues, any other questions? okay, thank you very much. at this point i'd like to open up to public comment. any members of the public wish to comment on item number 5? mr. folsom, please step forward. hello. ♪ we thank you you make the school budget brand-new and now we'll have more from you you make it all school brand budget new thank you and if i could i'd like too big, big budget budgets -- if i could i'd sign a budget star so i'll know where your budget are

>> hi, i'm lawrence corn field. welcome to building san francisco. we have a special series, stay safe. we're looking at earthquake issues. and today we're going to be talking with a residential building owner about what residential building owners and tenants can and should do before earthquakes and after earthquakes.

♪ ♪ >> we're here at this wonderful spur exhibit on mission street in san francisco and i have with me today my good friend george. thanks for joining me, george. and george has for a long time owned residential property here in san francisco. and we want to talk about apartment buildings and what the owner's responsibilities might be and what they expect their tenants to do. and let's start by talking a little bit about what owners can do before an earthquake and then maybe after an earthquake. >> well, the first thing, lawrence, would be to get together with your tenants and see if they have earthquake insurance or any renters insurance in place because that's going to be key to protecting them in the event of a quake. >> and renters insurance, there are two kinds of insurance.

renters insurance coffers damage to goods and content and so forth. earthquake insurance is a separate policy you get after you get renters insurance through the california earthquake authority, very inexpensive. and it helps owners and it helps tenants because it gives relocation costs and it pays their rent. this is a huge impact on building owners. >> it's huge, it really is. you know, a lot of owners don't realize that, you know, when there is an earthquake, their money flow is going to stop. how are they going to pay their mortgages, how are they going to pay their other bills, how are they going to live? >> what else can property owners do in residential rental housing before an earthquake? >> well, the first thing you want to do is get your property assessed. find out what the geology is at your site. get an expert in to look at structural and nonstructural losses. the structural losses, a lot of times, aren't going to be that bad if you prepare. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. get in there and get your

property assessed and figure it out. >> so, what is a nonstructural issue that might cause losses? >> well, you know, pipes, for instance. pipes will whip around during an earthquake. and if they're anchored in more numerous locations, that whipping won't cause a breakage that will cause a flood. >> i've heard water damage is a major, major problem after earthquakes actually. >> it is. that's one of the big things. a lot of things falling over, ceilings collapsing. but all of this can be prevented by an expert coming in and assessing where those problem areas and often the fixes are really, really cheap. >> who do you call when you want to have that kind of assessment or evaluation done? >> the structural engineering community is great. we have the structural engineers association of northern california right here in san francisco. they're a wealth of information and resources. >> what kinds of things might you encourage tenants to do

besides simply get tenants renters insurance and earthquake insurance, what else do you think tenants should do? >> i think it's really important to know if they happen to be in the building where is the safest place for them to go when the shaking starts. if they're out of the building, whats' their continuity plan for connecting with family? they should give their emergency contact information to their resident manager so that the resident manager knows how to get in touch. and have emergency supplies on hand. the tenants should be responsible to have their extra water and flashlights and bandages and know how to use a toilet when there's no sewage and water flows down. and the owners of the building should be proactive in that regard as well. >> so, george, thank you so much for joining us. that was really great. and thanks to spur for hosting us here in this wonderful exhibit. and thank you for joining us

♪ of life. in the name of god the father, amen. >> thank you. now i would like you to welcome the mayor of san francisco, mayor ed lee. [applause] >> thank you, good afternoon, everybody. it's my pleasure to be here to join former mayor willie brown, and supervisor scott wiener and david campos, and the commission of the police department, and friends and staff and friends and family here to witness the promotion of 56 officers of our police department. you know many of you have heard me say in the city that we are the world passage, and rightly so. we are doing things that no

other city is doing to lead the way. not just for economic recovery but job creation. showing the way. and our mission bay and biotech, the latest discovers and drugs, the cure of cancer with residents of san francisco working there. we host the biggest and best conventions in the world to bring people together in this great city to do things that collaborate with each other. whether it's business or medicine or research. we have some of the best research and diversity here that are anchoring the discovery. at the same time we host some of the best sports teams in the world. and you know that we are winning the world series and collaborative teamwork that we are doing. or trying to make five more yards in some super bowl. this is a world-class city.

and because it is, we require a world-class police department. and by golly, with chief suhr and the commission, we have it with you, the men and women of the police department. and i can vouch with this, having hatraveled as mayor brow and witnessing all the other cities and what they are going through. there extreme jealousy of our city. we get the best people that live here and work here and a part of this great teamwork we are building in san francisco. and not just what we are presently doing. but building for the future. and in working for the chief and the police officers association. we have already established a six-year hiring plan. many cities across the country

haven't figured out how to do that. we have did so. this january i was so proud to see 43 additional officers graduate from the police academy. how long ago have we seen that happen. we are investing in you, the police department. because we know that if we have a successful police department, one that is growing, and one that incurs faith and confidence from residents and friends and businesses. we will be that much more successful. it's my personal pleasure to join you today. i have a couple of officers i get to pin. they have sacrificed their time working with me on the security detail. they had get used to some weird things i had to do. whether it was eating chinese food and cheese cake at the same time. or trying to handle the very high levels of meetings i was required to attend.

they were very forthright in their jobs and duties. and i have yet to get the pie in the face. you got to history for that one. anyway, i do enjoy working with the police department. the culture here is solid. the teamwork is no different than the best of the teams that work in san francisco. and someone, myself being a veteran of government in 23 years, i have always felt that our police department is not only the best but i am certainly very proud of each and everyone of you, of the whole police department. and today particularly the 56 who have earned these promotions. and have done all the things that you need to do to lead a department and continue leading in a best fashion. with that i offer my sincere pride and congratulations to each and everyone of you.

and congratulations to the whole police department. continue to do the best you can. and keep us the world-class status that we are. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, mayor lee for those very kind words. our next speaker is one of our very well respected police commission commissioners. commissioner susie loftus. >> thank you, everyone. on behalf of the san francisco police commission, president tippy tip tippy mazzucco and it's my great privilege to honor this day of your leadership. and not only the guys and women on the front row. but everyone who here. your families. if i can take a moment and thank

you on behalf of the commission. for the sacrifice that we know you make every day. you lend us your loved ones. your family to go out and keep this city safe. and it's appreciated. and on days like today when we recognize these officers and deputy chiefs. this is your day. this is your accomplishment. because no one does anything alone. thank you for what you have done to make this day possible for them. and to the ladies and gentlemen on the front rows. what i want to say to you is this. i heard a statistic that in the next five years the patrol will turn over. in five years we will have half a different set of patrol officers. i did say that correctly. half of them will be new. i want to be sure, i saw the captain look at me like it didn't make sense. they will do that on the commission. and what means is that leadership matters more than

ever. to whom much is given, much is expected. congratulations today and we look forward to watching your careers as you move forward. thank you. [applause] >> and now i would like to ask the chief of police, gregory suhr to come up and speak. >> if i could ask everyone more time, i think we short changed chanel silas on that national anthem. [applause] she actually stood in sergeant jerry darcy who laid world series fame and lore was going to sing, and has the same cold

that everyone has, and channel showed up. i want to thank the families and friends that are here, and dignitaries. and the board of supervisors who are represented. supervisor campos and weiner, great friends of the department. and commissioner loftus, needs no introduction. and willie brown, tremendous friend of the police department. i don't know if we have been blessed to have a mayor more supportive in our hiring plan, than mayor lee. i appreciate everyone working together to support us here in san francisco. now to the matter at hand. we are privileged to be here of the 56 sworn officers that are sworn to the rank of sergeant, captain and deputy of chief.

in all endeavors leadership is critical to success. as we move into the first half of 2013, solid and sound leadership as commissioner loftus spoke us is critical to the success of the san francisco police department that challenged our able to provide top-notch law enforcement due to staffing and budget challenges. this past year we were expected to do more with less, and this expected to be the new normal. not only did we persevere, we excelled. we went into the neighborhoods and heard them. we lived through one of the busiest december in san francisco, and a good january and february, we can talk about that play-calling later. we were relatively unscathed for

the mission district celebrating the world series. we pulled together as a team, with one common goal to keep the city safe. this took leadership not from the top down but from the streets up. the senior officers and lieutenants knowing what was needed. it took the captains to be sure that their teams were willing to work as one. and again keeping the city safe. we did it like the champions we are. like no other law enforcement can, san francisco's finest. as each of you move in your new role, you will have the technology of advancements that provided for us locally and regionally and around the world. and we have issued laptops, courtesy of hp, thank you very

much. and making our officers more mobile and where they need to be. outside and on the streets. as i have said often, we have four generations of cops now sifting through the department. and trying to figure out how to pull it together to keep the greatest city in the world safest. as we hire new cops over the next years, maybe more than in any time in the history, it will take leadership. i mentioned leadership, and not saying what it is. let me start what it isn't. leadership is not managing. not to take away from a good manager, but managers are not leaders. there is no leadership required when there is order and routine. management is what is required for routine order decisions but when order is distorted leadership is required. and already is distorted outside of san francisco, because it's

san francisco. now the order in the department for reasons of progress are distorted by me. because it's about time. why i am upsetting the apple horse before the cart, sometimes we need to affect for progress. it's said that progress is never achieved by contented people. i believe we can always be better. times such as these will require many leaders to lead folks to the change necessary to get to a better place. such as the leadership i will require of you. i have said more times that i want us to be the smartest police department in country. and how we are seen by the young people in the city. officers that can't how lucky we are in a position to help people. how lucky we are to put on a san francisco police officer

uniform. it's for this reason that i want the kid that sees a san francisco cop for the first time. we owe them our best. with this in mind, all the people that are selected today are tomorrow's leader. one thing i like about leadership to have talent and character and ability to think on their feet. and eagerness to demonstrate how to do it the right way. everyone on this stage has talent. and the secondary criteria. i am grateful to your family and friends for your tremendous character because they put that in the hard drive. you all have demonstrated the ability to think on your feet. and now i need you to have the eagerness and resolve as i do, that we can get there from there. and undermined by critics and obstacles. but we can move this proud department together. this no easy task as we are

losing many senior folks as we speak. folks need to step up. we need officers to communicate effectively, and realize that interaction is a life's blood of policing. kipling said that we need leadership and we need to talk, and you can tell by the length of this speech, i like to talk. before all of this experience gets out the door and inside and outside on the community. there are those like me who still believe to be a friend means showing up for a person. whether you knew them or not. or when they asked you to or not. the children of san francisco need to grow up what we knew when we grew up in the city, that the
