conferencing as well, too, so that there is just greater interfacing between those that are behind bars and those outside and not relegate them to simply four hours or less a week. the second is that we really want to create opportunity of programming through the five keys charter school which is renowned in the united states. it's the first charter high school in the united states. we just graduated a class last friday where the largest highest amount of graduates that were receiving their high school diploma or ged or certificate, 65 on friday, 720 diplomas to date. we've been able to show through a tracking system of five keys charter that the recidivism rate of five keys is literally half of what it is of those that don't graduate which is causing other jail systems in

the state like los angeles to now import the five keys charter school to los angeles. i told sheriff baca that as long as they continue to sustain the name san francisco sheriff's department in los angeles and have a giants emblem above it, i'm okay with thatedthv kidding on the very last part of it. ~ new last strategies also have to do with the recruitment of deputies within san francisco and staffing within san francisco. it has not been routine for the sheriff's department to really be part of community events. this past weekend, the sheriff's department was at juneteenth festival. i was a supervisor of that particular district. always was part of the juneteenth festival, something to be very proud of. but that was not necessarily something that was always automatic for the sheriff's department. and other street festivals, we weren't just in the parade. we set up a booth, we're recruiting from within those

communities which is essential i think to the diversity that has helped make the sheriff's department well known in what is probably one of the most diverse law enforcement agencies, not just in california, but in the united states. and by going out to the bayview hunters point, by going out to other communities that i think have been disadvantaged or under served and being able to explain the mission of the sheriff's department, hear what people need since they have some relationship to maybe the sheriff's department and those that have been in custody or post-custody, and on top of which recruit potentially for employment i think is exactly what the sheriff's department should be doing in its community interface. and that is part, i think, of our approach in dealing with root causes of disparity. i'll end there and be more than happy to answer any questions. >> thank you, sheriff mirkarimi. in terms of the budget analyst recommendations, my understanding is you're still working with them and to form agreement? >> we very much appreciate the recommendations. our belief is they are missing

a little bit of information on electronic monitoring. for example, related to the disparity question also that we submitted two pieces of legislation that will be coming before the board. one is on expanding the statutory authority of the sheriff on electronic monitoring which will significantly increase those participants. and the second, which we look forward to working with supervisor kim on, is on for the identifying the city's law on banning the box to contractor, subcontractors and others so that employment discrimination is tackled more effectively. ~ fort identifying >> great. colleagues, any questions right now? okay, why don't we go to the budget analyst report. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee, poi%backvctionvon page 81 of our report recommended reduction 4 93,677 in 13-14. of that amount 336 229 are ongoing savings and 157,4 48

are one-time savings that would still allow an increase of 5,61 1,6 06 dollars or 3.2% in the department's 13-14 budget. ~ in addition, we recommend closing out prior year unexpanded general fund encumbrances which allow the return of 125,395 of the general fund. so, those two amounts result in a total savings of 619,0 72. in fiscal year 13-14 to the city's general fund. ~ our recommended reductions total 336,229 in 14-15. of that amount savings would still allow an increase of 6.4 million or 3.6% in the department's fiscal year 14-15 budget and we will be glad to work with the sheriff and we can report back to the committee. >> thank you very much, mr. rose. colleagues, any questions for mr. rose at this time? or for the sheriff? okay, thank you very much for being here. we look forward to seeing you next week. >> good to see you, thank you.

>> okay, colleagues, we have our final department, adult probation. >> can i say last but not least? >> there you go. >> good afternoon, supervisors. mr. chair and supervisors, my name is wendy still and i am the chief adult probation officer city and county of san francisco and so honored to have that role. while we load the presentation, i do have some good news, though, i'll share with you. adult probation was just notified that we have won the 2013 american probation and parole association award. it's the national president's award. it's annually given out to only those departments, and it's not given out each year, but that further the field of criminal justice and recognizing the work that we've done, the progressive work in san francisco around realignment and evidence-based probation

supervision. we were basically awarded that so we're really pleased. >> congratulations. >> we bring that award home to san francisco the end of july. with that, a little bit about our case trend. okay. our current active probationers, we have 5,505 and that represents a declining number of cases in terms of probationers. what we've seen is a complete increase, of course, in the realignment population. we are very pleased in terms of the success that we're having both with probationers and also the realigned population. to date we have basically of the realigned population supervised a total of 74 1, and the actual numbers are right in line with what we had projected. i had projected that we received more than the state said that they'd send us and our numbers were right on. so, we certainly appreciate the

board and the mayor's support in terms of our staffing. but with that said, the high-risk nature of our population, american probation and parole associations for high-risk probation supervision parole or post release recommend a 20 to 1 ratio. and for moderate risk they recommend a 50 to 1 ratio. and our offices are supervising double and triple that amount. i'm not asking for any more staff. i'm simply saying that our staff has really heavy caseloads and they are producing some absolutely amazing results with that. the actual risk levels for our post release community supervision or realigned cases, 86% are high risk. and for probation cases, 64% are high risk. so, those are your who would be 21 caseloads, but in actuality those caseloads are anywhere from 50 to upwards of 200 cases.

medium risk and low risk, you normally see a stair step approach to your risk levels. but because san francisco invests so much in not only their community corrections, but alternative incarceration and collaborative course, you see the risk level grow as the criminal histories grow. and the risk level equates to a high need of intensive supervision, but also treatment services to addressedth [speaker not understood] needs. when we move to looking at the type of who we're supervising, 39% of the cases basically relate to crimes against persons. and roughly about 51% are drug and property related and i lump them all in the same category, even though we have it broken down by drug offenses narcotic and. primarily the property crime are driven by the addiction. in terms of the race ethnicity

of who we're supervising, we have an unknown category because the courts data, our data, our system are over thankfully in the process of replacing our data system that is due to come online the last quarter of this year. we'll have better data, but as we know it, a current supervision, caucasian, 17%, asian 3%, african-american 32%, filipino, 1%. and hispanic 12%. so, we have a very difficult verse population. in terms of what our workforce looks like, i'm very proud of that. in terms of the gender of our workforce, 61% of our staff are women. 39% are men. ~ diverse. 38% of the department staff are sworn staff. so, as you probably heard from some of the other public safety departments, typically in any kind of law enforcement, including probation, it is difficult to recruit women. however, women do awfully well as case managers and

supervisors, probation officers. so, we're very proud of that. also, our staff, approximately 18% are bilingual. when we did the recruitment for staff over the last couple of years we really focused on recruiting bilingual spanish speaking and cantonese staff and we've been successful in that. our actual workforce representation is 29% african-american, 22% hispanic, 16% asian-pacific islander, 6% filipino, and 27% white. ~ 26%. so, we are very difficult verse in our staffing. in terms of the other for cultural competency, we offer our clients in terms of access, language line, we have english and spanish publications. also our reception area which is our first contact point, we have multiple language spoken in that area. in terms of overtime, we have

zero overtime we we always have ceo overtime. so, keeping up the good fight. ~ zero we do community policing b we offer staff time off, and we give them time to do that. those are two things, we do pink saturday and also halloween in the castro district. but we do not authorize any overtime. staff basically look at that part of our community corrections or community relations opportunity. in terms of the clients that we service, high-risk, high-need as we talked about, substance abuse, 82% of our clients, we do risk needs assessment on our clients and 82% have a substance abuse issue or need to be addressed. vocation and education, 78%. cognitive behavioral, 73%. and residential and stability or housing needs, 62%. and in terms of another way that we also move towards offering totally culturally

competent services is we include in the contract rfp language requirement for the vendors that they provide culturally competent and gender responsive services. and we have performance based benchmarks that they're held accountable to. in terms of the nature of the 109 clients and why it's so critical to have the services available is that 86% of our clients are high-risk, again, and 50% of our clients, 8 109 coming to us from prison have eight or more prior felony convisions. 63% of that have a prior weapons, violence or sex crime conviction. so, again, a very serious population ~. i am happy to report, because of the balance of supervision and service approach that we've created, that 62% of this population has had no new law violation and 52% of them have had no new arrest or sanctions, and that includes clash

incarcerations. 77% of the clients, again, there's no flash that has been imposed. we've issued, though we are holding those that are accountable that don't meet the terms and conditions, we do use flash incarceration. we have flashed 3 24 individuals which represents about 33% of the clients. and 2% of the population had been convicted of a new felony offense while on supervision which means, of course, 98% have not had any new convictions. so, we're very happy with those results. moving on to trends in probation 2012, our total probation population has decreased 9% over prior year. the 38% of all of our felony probationers were terminated from population in 2012. 77% successful, 23% unsuccessful. and 27% of all the clients that

we've had come in our door for ab 109 have completed their supervision terms, 80% were successful completion. when you compare that to the parole one year recidivism rate, it's 64% unsuccessful. so, we are looking forward to having our clients out for a year and then doing a two-year measurement also the one and the two-year. in terms of our ab -- our initiative and the budgetary impact, continuing to implement realignment, realignment didn't come and stay static. realignment came and basically the law continues to change with each legislative cycle that we have had since then. we just opened yesterday our community assessment service center. our future includes alternative sentencing program for women and children. it's a major budget initiative. it is ape cornerstone of our sentencing program.

~ it's and included in the 2012 plan to the board, our realignment plan. continuing our evident-based practices implementation, we know what we're doing is working and we are being recognized nationally for our results. continuing to implement the contracts of service providers for housing, sex offender treatment, job readiness, substance abuse, cognitive behavioral services, and as the sheriff spoke previously about the reentry pod. before i move into changes in the budget, i'd really like to thank the mayor's budget office kate howard and melissa howard for all their support. controller's office and also harvey rose's office and specifically amanda guma who worked closely with our staff. we are not in complete agreement, but we continue to work on that. but in terms of our overall budget and the changes, all of the changes in our budget is really related to two things.

it's related to realignment and went to sack acand fought really hard to get that funding formula change and increase it had last year from 10 to 17 million and this year using that same formula it's increased to $20 million. and, so, the increases you see in our budget primarily relate to service dollars and replacement of money that had been prior grant funded, but those grants have went away. all again targeting services. the actual sb678 funding was decreased because the legislature saw that as some of the same population as the ab 109 population. to the specific changes in the budget, the restoring expired grants, we previously had a violence against women act, domestic violence grant. we have one officer on our most high-risk caseload that expired in our budget that was replaced.

we had a deputy 1.70 deputy related officer to his own strategy basically drugs, again, as your numbers show, we have such a significant population that has such a heavy drug addiction. and then a community development specialist that was basically funded prior by second chance act planning demonstration and that's about job readiness and training. in terms of the new positions in the budget, there is a 1.0 community development specialist. we now have that task reentry center up and its coordination of the services and then an additional community development specialist for all of the community outreach in other additional contracts that we are bringing in place as well as the vic item activities. and a limited term i-t principal program analyst we're bringing up a new data analyst system as i mentioned this year and we need the additional help to bring it online. then that position, that temporary help funding goes away.

moving over to the other side, looking at the changes in the budget, the realignment funding increased by 1.95 million. the community corrections and [speaker not understood] was evidence-based spending. i mentioned earlier that funding went down. and then the two grant dollar amount decreases, then minus 100 and 500,000. the changes in youth, again focusing our increases on the services to match the criminal [speaker not understood] risk needs of our population. each one of our clients have nine or more service needs, and that's represented by over 60% of our population so far that we basically assessed out. so, they are in desperate need of services. but an increase to this human services work order, benefit eligibility services, housing services 120,000, increase the dph which we work order our

money to them so we're deficient and don't duplicate the services, they bid out the abuse services and such, that's 1.4 million. sex offender containment model, good old state, they mandated chelsey's law and a containment model but what they didn't do is give us any funding for it. and, so, 5 14,000 of the qu is to pimento metv fully the sex offender containment model which is very extensive. ~ it requires a polley graph initially and sick months later of the sex offenders which are registerable. weekly therapy sessions and then ongoing testing additional assessments that have to be made depending upon how they progress. very costly. software licensing, 33,000 increase. transitional [speaker not understood] funded by pat grant, we have an intensive supervision court and that funding went away with that grant and so there is this 240,000 is to continue housing,

education, job training for these highest risk, and these are individuals that are facing state prison sentences, that their highest risk and also we do get some return on our investment for every number we reduce down, we still do get some sb678 funding. this year our dollar amount is roughly about $700,000. and the treatment services formerly funded by sb 678, 378,900. and again, with the increase in the realignment dollars that we are able to bring into the city offset the ask and the loss of these grant and service dollars. and if you have any questions. >> thank you, chief. colleagues, do we have any questions at this time? okay. why don't we go to mr. rose and our budget analyst report. >> mr. chairman, members of the

committee, on page 89 of our report, our recommended reductions total 840,95 4 in 13-14 of that amount 761,204 are ongoing savings. 79,750 are one time. this would still allow an increase of a million 191,7 36 or 4.8% in the department's 13-14 budget. and in addition, we recommend closing out prior year unexpended general fund income brentes which return another 3,362 to the general fund for a total of 84 4,316 in general fund savings in 13-14. in 14-15 our recommended reductions total 761,204 in 14-15 which are ongoing and we'll be happy to work with the department in the ensuing week and report back to the committee. >> okay, thank you, mr. rose. colleagues, any questions for mr. rose? or for the department before we adjourn? okay, thank you very much, chief. >> thank you. >> i look forward to seeing you

back next week. >> thank you very much. >> good slides, kate. >> okay, colleagues -- >> mr. chairman, i have [inaudible]. >> mr. clerk. >> i believe item 3 and 4 will need to be continued to june 20th. items 6, 7 and 9 have continued to june 21st. we have not called item 8 yet, but that one will need to be called -- continued to june 20th. item number 8, ordinance amending the police code article 24, section 2404.1, to increase the fee for a street artist certificate in accordance with the applicable consumer price index when necessary in order to ensure recovery of the costs of administering and enforcing the provisions of the street artists ordinance; and making environmental findings. ~ fee. and that one should be continued to june the 20th. >> so, mr. district attorney, can we make one motion to make all those continuances together? colleagues, can i have a motion to make those continuances? >> so moved. >> we can do so without opposition. gulf of mexico >> mr. clerk, do we have any other i'm at thexv? >> that completes the agenda. >> all right, we are adjourned.
