satisfaction surveys out with it's preliminary disposition letters. and we have been gathering the data and attempted twice to have graduate students from the goldman school at uc berkeley evaluate. we were not successful in object obtaining a graduate student to do so, however, we now have a temporary investigator who is compiling the data, mr. wiz skooe has prepared the data base for the input data, not just the numerical data but the comments as well and we are gathering that and will develop a report.

cities abatement fee and collect a one dollar fee to help the program. it was reauthorized in 2002 and will expire if not renewed. last year the funds appropriated $515,000. okay. we have ms. lorain here to provide us with some additional information on this item. why don't you come up. after is presentation there's a budget analysis report on this item >> good afternoon supervisors. as all right. state the item before you to expend san

francisco's participation in the vehicle abandon fee. under the the program $13 fee is collected from each san francisco citizen and given to the state that you under california law a counties governing board must vote to expend the & abandonment fee. it was from june 2003 though may 13th. cost as mentioned 5 hundred thousand is collected every year and the cost for the fiscal year is projected at the $1 million plus dollars so it helps defray

the costs. and as has been mentioned the program is to expire at the end of this month so the renewal is necessary. we request that you approve the items submitted. i see the next person to comp call up is the budget analyst to make the presentation >> good morning. and if you will note on page 34 of our report those revenues bring in a little less an $5,500,000 a year we recommend approval of the ordinance

>> we'll go to public comment next any comments. seeing none none public comment closed. colleagues any compliments >> make a motion to move the positive recommendation forward. >> thank you very much. without objection madam clerk call item 2. the implementation of public safety realignment >> colleagues i introduce this so we could have an opportunity to thoroughly review the audit on public safety realignment. i understand this is very early still in the process. i see we've got our sheriff

whose walked in. when the alignment first, you came up i was a member of the board and we spent a lot of time with the city. now that we've had several months i think it makes sense to look at how we're managing the realignment program. the budget report is very extensive and it points out a number of areas where the city can improve the serves to the population. we've seen an uptick in property crimes as well as a few violent offenses. and it became clear to me there's some grapz gaps in our approach so i want to

acknowledge our participate. we have the sheriff as well as paul henderson and we have melissa howard from the mayor's office. we have folks coming from the housing department. and we have a colleague from supreme court. excuse me. who's is specialist is from the court and have a representative from the district attorney's office. my goal is to hear from the departments that have responsibilities in the audit report and have a productive

conversation to work collaboratively and efficiently. we'll hear first from the budget analyst first >> we'll hear a brief presentation on the report and then we can allow you to make the presentation after that. >> good morning we do have prepared a brief power point we conducted this audit in march 2012 we want inform point out that the department does not agree with our recommendations we continued to recommend those important points. if our recommendations are implemented it would be of value

of $1.2 million to the city. and i just briefly want to introduce our team and then amanda will give the details. >> great thank you. thank you very much >> hi. i'm amanda i'll be presenting briefly on our finding from the performance audit of public safety realignment we looked at the first year in four areas including the program costs - >> i'm sorry do you have copies

for us? >> program costs staffing levels and increases in caseload and average daily population. the motion that the board directed us for the audit specifically asked us to look at the sheriff's department and we have included other departments including the public defenders office. we do want to point out that when public safety realignment was made effective san francisco was in a position of relative preparedness for that. they took a step to collaborate

the criminal justice department and put in place standards. as you know 2008 the city brought together representatives from city agencies to support of reorganization of inmates into the community. and they started incorporating the collection of data to track the needs of phone calls re-entering the imminence. all those efforts were to share data among criminal justice departments in order to improve public safety. this slides is the budget over the past 3 years. you can see the amount of

resources and how those resources were distributed among the primary participate departments. we included resources and have gone to supp public safety realignment this is from the general fund. throughout the implementation of a b-109 we have played a major rule through it's leadership of the community partnership and data collection efforts. within the department itself changes were made to address the increased workload which included a new reentry. we did the training that

the probation officers have gone through in the first year we noted that the hours number of completed hours was 108. according to the adult training manual itself the mandated number of hours is 40 so we recommended those hours be reduced from 108 down to 40 so sufficient time could be spent with the crimes division. the other proposal was the creation of the community assessment and services center. the center is designed to be a one stop shop for case management services including educational opportunities.

offenders. there have been varies delays. since the opening it was scheduled for june 2012 and now the opening date it 2013. this exceeds the budget shortfall it's 82 percent. so in order to offsetting set those costs we urge the department to look for avoidance of duplication. the sheriff's department has plated a role in safety realignment. the department indicated it would expand the use of its alternative incarceration and

electronic monitoring. as you can see since 2011 the department has reduced the number of folks on incarceration. this past november this should lead to a increase in place we ask that they have a monitor process to track those placements to evaluate the effectiveness. and additionally to the county grants the state provided resources to public defenders and for public realignment.

in july 2013 there's a new phase of public safety realignment which will shift from state to county u county level. at the time of the audit we recommended that the community corrections perspire closely evaluate the impact of the transfer, plan accordingly and assess any staffing needs in relation to that staffing. the program is guided by 3 vair degrees of 3 bodies the community perspire and the commission. while each of those bodies has a specific area of responsibility they generally share the same purpose which is to implement

the best practices and to reduce recidivism and to reduce the incarceration and to help with public safety. as you can see there's an overlap here as well which menus they're meeting regularly to discuss fundamentally the same issues. we recommend that the board of supervisors integrate the functions of the two councils which those bodies meet. another area we looked in our view of the realignment chief among those needs it housing. almost half the offenders are in need of housing yet there's very limited fund.

so those offenders are forced to compete for access what we know is an insufficient amount of affordable housing. the landlords typically require background checks and their required to resides in san francisco which further limits their housing options. so we ask that missouri report to the housing department and the utilization rate of programs to identify any gaps of those needs. we recommend those bodies evaluate the impact of discrimination. we looked at the effectiveness

of data management. as mentions earlier the city launched the justice system to have data sharing. since 1997 the city has spent retouch that $32 million >> how much? 32.5 million >> and correct me if i am wrong we still don't have - and that's correct there's certain aspects that don't have functionality. primarily some of the departments haven't activated their system and who? >> one of our recommendations in our report the department is adopting a new system that's at

the time of our report was scheduled to be effective i think october of 2013 so when it is launched it's launched in connection with the system and as you can see the city you spent $177,000 for data management purposes. >> so that's a brief summary of our findings. we want to thank all the departments that helped us >> you thank you very much. colleagues do you have any questions for the analysts? thank you very much i'd like to

call up a lady from the mardz office. >> thank you. hi i'm melissa howard i'm in the mayors budget office. thank you chair cowen for calling this hearing and others supervisors. as you know a b-109 went in effect. we're lucky to have better coordination and we got together early to prepare for this historic change. many of those departments are here to answer any you questions you have on this audit. we're really appreciative for the analysts office hard work.

we know there's been a lot of progress on realignment but it's less than two years ago and at the time the audit started it was about a year in progress. so i'm going to quickly turn it over to wendy she's the adult probation officer. she's done an extraordinary job and we appreciate her and all the other criminal justice departments as well. the public defenders to district attorney to the department of public health and the supreme court. thank you very much. we have a question >> i appreciate the work that the mayor's office is doing on this. one of the things i think is important as we're moving

forward to think about the resources that will be needed to make sure we continue to do this right are you having those discussions with the various departments? i should have mentioned this the one recommendation from the mayor's office includes sources n in a 5 year plan and it's actually included to each office should have gotten the plan on page 63 and 64. at the time, we released the report that's all we knew at the time. it so i would say there could be some changes in the realignment so, yes. we're having conversations everyday with what is needed and as i saw from the

budget analyst slide we have incriminated a general fund >> thank you. i appreciate it, it's important to have those conversations. for adult programs we've had programs that are pretty large. i think if anything you want to make an additional investment in the end it saves money >> i'm sorry melissa are you speaking on behalf of the entire mayor's office? yes >> i'm interested in knowing how they plan to close the gap there's a gap of about the exceeds the budget of $4,000. >> and leading up to the fiscal

year we have funded that in 11 and 12 it was a much greater gap because the state only gave his $6.2 million and i and it's burn that. so the city through the budget process with the help of the mayor's office and board we tried to fund everything not everything everybody wants, however, >> chief. i believe you're up next. now chief still has the bulk of the responsibility of managingor reentry population if you could

give us the overview of the department >> thank you very much i appreciate the opportunity chair cowen and supervisors to talk about what i believe it is wonderful work that san francisco is doing. it doesn't mean we don't have more to do but at the state level i'm proud >> i'm going to talk about the impact relative to this population and then address some of the boards recommendations and correct inconsistence. this historical change is - you want to thank all the workers that have been involved
