enforce /-pl force [inaudible] do not warrant any additional investigation for being [inaudible] on some shelf over in the evidence room is not sent to the state crime lab for analysis. these are the crimes that take [inaudible] that do not warrant notice. education, education is the key to a lot of intervention and prevention and that's what we need. the community do not communicate with the police. there's another group of crime that's talking place. blacks committing blackings committing crimes other african

american and they all [inaudible]. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i'm the deputy director over at lyric and i have to echo our community partners and say we've been around for 25 years and this epidemic has been unchanged. it persists because of'slation, over the years have been attacked and assaulted in the streets because they are transgender. our youth are abused in their homes. they're threatened with weapons in the schools. this is an ongoing

problem and it hasn't changed. i think one of the key things to focus on is what are some of the solutions and it's about getting behind the februarys actually we have a team of youth and [inaudible] their launching a campaign to make their school transgender inclusive and to have transgender bathrooms. they weren't aware their school had policies around it, weren't aware that there were resources available. it's their queer brothers and it's their fierce straight allies. we see this in the community as well and it's been the partnership with groups like the domestic

violence [inaudible] so i thank you for making space for this conversation and i'm excited to take meaningful steps forward that will stop this violence. >> good afternoon supervisors. beverly [inaudible] first i

last year shocking and absolutely upsetting about the level of fear and violence towards our transgender students in the school district. we applaud this work for being done and presented. we do know it's the first in the country, but it really presents both the responsibility and the call to action to san francisco. we also want to be a part of that as well. we think that we can do better and should do better. i think one of the other issues we heard sparks address is that secure communities and immigration issue. i just think that it puts all immigrant survivors of any kind at risk, but you can only

imagine if you -- maybe your id does not match what you are appearing to be in public. also the language access issues when you couple that with just repressive secure communities policies, we are looking at just a terrible cross roads for this community and so many other communities trying to dig their way out of violence towards safety and dignity. so with that i'll say thank you for your work on this. i hope we see unanimous support on this issue. >> thank you. is there any other member of the public who has not spoken who would like to speak. seeing none, public comment is closed. i do have some closing remarks, but i

want to give supervisor yes yee to speak. >> i want to thank you supervisor campos for shining some light on what's going on with this population. it's obvious we have a lot more work to do to protect these citizens and that when the opportunity comes up for us at the board of supervisors to provide more resources for those efforts i will be supporting it. >> thank you supervisor yee. i want to thank all of the agencies who have been here today -- da, police department, our school district, our human rights commission and i also want to acknowledge and appreciate the work of the

domestic violence consortium because they have really 'em embraced this issue and i think there are many things we can do here. i would like to continue this item to the call of the chair so we can bring it back in a few months to see where things are, but i think that the most immediate thing -- and i would like to set up a meeting with some of the key play ers here to make sure that we have a comprehensive strategy about the budget in terms of what additional resources that are needed. clearly there are resources [inaudible] efforts that are funded, whether it's ella, lyric, so i think that's one piece of the puzzle that we need to create domestic

violence funding for the transgender community. we need to look at the police department to see if we need more support in the hate crimes unit. i think we need to look at funding. like wise with the district station. i think the human rights commission is really key. my understanding is that you don't have a hate crimes unit so i think that's really critical because it's not enough for these other agencies to have that funding. the hfc plays a very important role in making sure that we as a city are /tkoupbg doing this. and then there are other policy issues that need to be addressed and then larger issues around services that

need to beprovided for this community. but i thank you all for being here and i want to thank the women who have come out to share their stories. i want you to know that the city is committed and we are committed to see action. so with that i want to thank all of you. i want to thank stephanie ash ashley at my office in helping to coordinate this item, i want to thank our police department again, or da, and all of you for being here.

let's make this hope. with can take the motion to continue to the chair without objection. >> that concludes today's agenda. >> thank you. the meeting adjourned. everyone.

all right. welcome to the show i'm sorry. government and oversight actually, we have a pretty exciting agenda today, i'm your chair to my left is supervisor david campos and i'd like to send a special thank you to our staff and they promise to make us look beautiful. thank you sf tv. do we have any announcements? >> yes, please silence all cell phones and all cards should be committed to the k. one.

>> to authorize the existence of abandon vehicle fee. >> thank you i'm the sponsor of this piece of legislation and i had the pleasure of working on that with my colleagues. this would reauthorize our 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. who's is specialt

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 support 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 look at 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 suie 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
