a year ago in julia year ago next most the human rights transition occurred in which the 43 positions were move forward to the contract morpd division for and the cracking function and equal benefits were moved to c m.d. that left us to focus once again on our core functions of non-discriminati non-discrimination ordinances. right now we have two major departments. i've move over here. you can see we have two major

departments the sober - the policy and associate justice and the complaints investigation division. we actually have two chartered or two advisory committees which are one of which is in the administration code and the equity advisory committee and we have the african-american empowerment advisory committee that's been around for two years. the discrimination division last year, we received a total of 17 hundred and 66 inquiries and intakes into our discrimination division. we actually investigated and filed and investigated 1 hundred and 5 complaints. the primary complaint is on housing. it's the class you have

disabilities. for your education you'll be happy to go through the list or i can go through the list on your own of the various types of discrimination and classes. policy and social justice division. we had issued 9 resolutions and mitigated 4 issues. served as novrn profit issue hosts. we hosted education events and convened more than 1 hundred meetings and realized 10 or 11 i believe the number was 11 issues

last year our major initiatives under the lgb advisory committee we're working on is the lgb aging policy task force. we facilitate that work group we facilitated and staffed that group. the lgb working horsing work group looking at discrepancies in the lgb community. the lgb youth group and looking at both the mission looking at the areas in this city that are not traditionally places for gaze and lesbians and we're looking at what services exist in those areas for non-traditionally populations. equity advisory committee we have a speaker series which goes around and don't education.

we have a silver commission. we're talking about elders of color and their particular issues dealing with the crisis of aging. we work with the council we have a reentry work group. we work with the department of education and we will be able to issue our awards this year. the african-american community empowerment issue is combining the 8 or tin reports that were created in the city. we combined the reports made the recommendations and we're implementing the various recommendations. the outreach and training which

we are responsible for and have been doing more and more in monolingual communities in the mission. youth sensitive and culture we're working with the health department and the youth commission on coming up with training for all agencies in the city government which have direct contact with youth. and consequences of youth. i think that supervisor mar i we appreciate you attending a community meeting. and precision - prostitution we

handed out many condoms they were afraid of those condoms. we have worked with the police department and that ordinance has been changed and it actually a nationwide sample. reducing barriers for people with provide arrest records. and we've been working with the seattle human rights organization because they just passed a local ordinance which is pretty groundbreaking on people who or been formerly incarcerated. our positions after the slit

last year the human rights commission had 12 positions. we have suggest we have 12 this year and telephone for the years through 2015. non-funded position a hundred percent of them are funded in the budget. we're asking inform a minimum decrease about 3.1 percent. other general services we're having an increase this year of 83 thousand over last year primarily because of rent and technology. and next year 28 thousand due to similar incity uses.

and primarily it's for slarldz. during this year we operated with only 9 people on folks because of various retirements and people leaving the agency. and we're hoping to we've been assured by the mayor's office that 3 positions will be filed hopefully very, very quickly in the next month or so, so with he can get up to 11 individuals. you you can see the main sources. the main source of this year we have about $1.2 million of source of revenue. and about a 6 hundred and 47 though dollar work order. the work order was concurrent it

was issued along with the issues. and in 2015 the work order will be absorbed both our work - into our work order. we benefit the citizens of san francisco across the city and many, many benefit the organizations within the city so it's difficult to pin our expenses on any one department or another. again, i, see the uses are prominently salary related and other than that the next largest are working orders to other

departments. major initiatives 2015 i won't go through those but your major initiatives are under the lgb committee. we're starting to talk about the needs of the lgb and disability people. and we'll talk about how to assess city services. we'll be working with the mayor's office on this. we have a deaf individual who is a member of one of our committees. we use a sign language person and we'll be rolling that out. our experiences with facilitating this rather than on the screen and the translator

next year. this is a program the federal government has to allow young children whodunit came to this country very, very young and help them with a path to citizenship. african-american community empowerment we're looking at mentorship form with spur. legal clinics we've been giving the parents rights training for public schools. it's been a very, very effective program. we're going to work with the task force with the board of supervisors and with the unified school district additional we're

looking at how to create spur n incubat incubator. and we're still working with dp h with developing a first in the country health, physical and mental impact study of sustained discrimination by our community in san francisco. we will be using the model to impact the discrimination across the city. we're establishing a discrimination intact incline to train young lawyers on how to deal with discrimination and we're using if to move our complaints along. the war on drugs the case act

we're working with communities model communities in the mission who were prominently spanish around the corridor. we've been meeting with them and listening to them on friday nights and in the late hours to work with them to develop better communication with the police department especially spanish communities. that's the end of the presentation. we have not had any contact with the budget analyst department this year. and i think i'm assuming that's our budget. and a thank you, mr. sparks and thank you for your great work and the staff. we don't have any reports for

the human rights commission >> i was going to thank you for your 50 years of work i'm proud to have on a clerk working with the lgb commission and a number of other departments. i know your operating with a streamline staff and i'm appreciative you do so much and are extremely sensitive even with the inclusive america muslim population. even just pulling people together. thank you for your great presentation >> thank you, colleagues any other questions? >> okay. thank you mr. sparks for being here. okay. up next, we have our department of public works and

hundred employees both full-time a part time. we've managed 8 hundred plus miles of roads over 49 curb ramps and city cantonese and 36 plus street trees of the hundred and 5 thousand trees in san francisco. we have over 3 hundred infrastructure like bridges. we provided assembly services to the city responding to over a hundred though service requests through 311 and it includes graffiti and gament and potholes and sidewalk defects and other calls we get. mechanically our mechanic

sweepers remove over thirty thousand tons of debris. we fill modern 3 thousand potholes and receive more than 6 hundred thousand permit applications for bureau street management. we inspector over 2 hundred and 70 square feet of sidewalks every year. we keep our cities klein through our communities. in terms of fundamental and sustainable facilities. we are managing over $3 million of active structures within the city's. a quick overview of some of the

initiatives in this budget to inform and educate and engage the public around street cleanlyness through our campaign. we ask people to join in the efforts and get a lot of folks educated about how to city ordinances around 11 dumping sidewalks and sort. another initiative is in our capita projects we're adding quite a few a number of positions mostly for many of the bond projects. the expansion of moscone, street

parks, the easter bond, some additional work coming from puc and mta capital programs. we're going loose looking forward to reducing the wait times for street use and tree permits. there's quite a number of people coming to our desk the economy is growing so one the initiatives is to reduce that. we have peer internships. we have partnerships and we have some perspires with some of the nonprofit. and hopefully, they will become

apprentices and journey man. the process of relishlt and the responsibility to private property owners who have done quite a bit of work around identifying trees and one of our initiatives is to transfer 3 thousand trees that are ready to go with a little bit of tree work. >> also within the department we've made it a priority to make sure that our staff takes advantage of training opportunities. and they're able to do their jobs better. and finally we're implementing an i t system to respond to service requests to monitor performs and allocate resources

efficiently. we use that data to inform us how to do better and geter c.m.s. up and running and collecting first but using a lot of that data to help allocate our resources effectively >> so you're just skipping over the slide because we're running over here. >> just the overview. you can see 76 percent of our work of our budget mostly work orders are 26 percent most of it goes to the street cleaning

bureau. proposed sources you have the 2 thousand 12 up to 15 you can see the various change. the first one from service request an increase of about 11.9 million. and on the general fund gas tax up 5.9 million. i'll go to the next slide and talk about the - this is the street cleaning and street use and mapping and progressing in addition to the committee on information and allocations for the c.m.s. system. that's where the 4 million goes. you have 4.5 million that goes to increase other support. mainly to support the revenue

due to hire volumes of people coming in. we have the solid waste consultant u compound account to do more replacement of literary cantonese in the city and finally our co p which is 2.6 million for the second street co p these for the participation. and then 11.9 million increase in service requests from other departments for more bond work in particular from mta and puc through revenue bonds. proposed uses of the increase you can see the similar chart with the street cleaning just

highlight the most important ones. the infrastructure and design and construction support 8.8 increase and various other amaze and sewer and that's a breakdown totaling the 21.3. you can see the 13, fourteen change also. a little description of the changes in terms of staffing. you're looking at 49 ftes in the capital bureaus and administrative bureaus to support the delivery of many of the bonds projects we have in terms of development of new database systems. so we're working closely with the airport and other city departments we're actually providing new systems and databases to assist similar to

what with he have. there's 11 ftes in the street cleaning bureau and that's for the outreach and enforcement program. we're continuing to work and support the san francisco housing authority to help with the cleaning up of the work sites. there's an increase in the bureau that's again because of the growing number of permits that are coming from both street mapping and tree permit applications. we're going to be putting out the newer and safer rerepeal cancels. your routine replacement of

vehicles are over 12 years old and they're out of compliance with healthy air and transportation ordinance so we'll be changing as many have those as we can this map shows the fte changes. as you can see pretty flat compared to many of the previous years. i think your best year from all those chapters was 08, 09 and we're starting to build back up to where we were in those years. capital projects again, the 3 major projects and enhancements

include the better street market project where some of those money will help us get to the next step. that's fully funded in the next year's budget. for facilities maintenance 3.8 mainly the activities that our agency provides are pothole replace asbestos and some capital improvement and some tree improvements. and, of course, our capital improvements that are in here. see that is our capital projects. in terms of general if you happened ando. budget vs. actual. we're pretty flat around the same 1.1 million t which is 3

percent of our salaries. similar to last year. pretty sure flat. a lot of our bureaus work hard to reduce overtime and we've been able to achieve this as needed employees or people who are ready to makeshift changes n to accommodate the need. and final slide addresses the economic disparities. stated earlier we use data a lot to make sure we're serve various part of the city all over the city equally. we work closely with many of the community based organizations to ui
