7:00 pm
1.7 million in fiscal year 2014 and 15 and those recommendations would allow a 10th of the budget. mr. chairman and members of the committee with our permission i would like ms.
7:01 pm
>> two hours of overtime we couldn't document p there was a - none of the property owners said they had a police presence for 12 hours. we have dedicated police staffing but don't include the overtime pay >> could you talk about theo. >> i'm not aware of the 12 hour overtime shift. >> but i'm saying the 6 foot
7:02 pm
corridor there's also a dedicated program in the school district and in the corridor not unlike the program of overtime they just add it on others shifts. we're asking where you have dedicated staffing it would be on the regular 10 hour shift and not overtime >> those corridors have 10 hour shifts. >> they have 12 hour coverage but in order to get the overtime which is 15 percent of the expense we use i can basically make 32 officers and the exact officers it's a desirable assignment and it was to give those folks no public housing
7:03 pm
the same faces everyday for midnight basketball. their basic shift is a x but the union rules keep me from moving them around but overtime allows me to put them all in one place and i get tremendous flexibility for that million dollars >> mr. chairman i want to emphasize all we believe is there's no justification of overtime but they can handle the situations we don't want any overme and that is our recommendation to you today which is consistent with our audit findings.
7:04 pm
>> i represent fully disagree. >> we'll have a meeting of the minds. >> thank you chief i just wanted to ask the fact we have an additional 3 hundred officers which increases, you know, the number of police officers out in the streets you know how would continuing overtime for public housing how i'm trying to - wouldn't - would overtime for public housing still be necessary in the same manner with such a large number of officers on the street and the officers will be replaced no 2013. the officers in public housing regardless of the fact there was
7:05 pm
a 15 percent reductions across the police department the staffing at public housing including in your district and in supervisors campos districts it went up because it was recognized how successful it is. the overtime gives me the neglect to defeat the union controls that don't allow me the flexibility that i get with ao. and not having to have the same amount of officers. there is not a member open this board who don't talk to me about having more officers. our primary reason is we needed
7:06 pm
to add more officers but i don't think there's not going to be the need to have the flexibility if they're going to be the same exact dedicated officers they like working there and i think the people in public housing like them there. barbara smiktd asked we do provided the funding to continue those services. >> supervisor mar. >> let me continue the - you're saying the extra neglect that the one million dollars buys helps you with neglect of assigning the same officers so the people in public housing know their police officers and they know the housing better and it allows you to advance more of
7:07 pm
a police strategy and to deal with restrictive labor management rules that prevent you from managing and deploying people he who should be police public housing. >> that's exactly what it does. it gives me the opportunity to dedicate the officers i actually have the officers who are applying to be the public officers they stay and get to know the folks and their signing up to get the assignment knowing i'm going to put them on the weekends and if there's a spike in violence i'm going to put them and if that's not okay i have other people standing in line to get the assignments >> supervisor reed anything.
7:08 pm
>> thank you. the question i believe related to purchase of vehicles that is in the budget report is more for the budget analyst to address on page 60. it talks about limiting and disapproving the purpose of one more vehicle and there's a vehicle that has 50 thousand miles on it and is there anything wrong with that vehicle and
7:09 pm
. >> purchasing vehicles that are continuing to keep a high-level
7:10 pm
of vehicles the effort is to actually lower the amount of vehicles so are we getting any tracking. i imagine that the police department have heavy patrol and you need vehicles >> what they sent us was a spreadsheet to show the plan of reducing the vehicles. we looked at specific vehicle requests and made recommendations. >> okay. thank you. >> colleagues any further questions for the chef right now. okay. you want to move on cc
7:11 pm
>> good morning chairperson and members of the budget committee. i'm with the director of the office of city complaints. i'd like to thank mayor ed lee, the police commission and the budget analysts jason cunningham and from harvey rose and my staff and acting chef investigator. there are no program changes to the occ budget but the proposed budget is for the two replacement vehicles that are fourteen years old.
7:12 pm
the budget analyst proposes the cc reduce one vehicle and also that the occ reduce it's vacant deputy director chief investigator position by 23 percent. this would result in a $65,000 savings to the city but would frustrate the occs mission. the mission is four foiled to investigate and make finding on the policeman's conduct in a fair and timely unbiased manner. to make policy released on police policies and practices and to implement it's community outreach strategy plan to reach underserved community that maybe you think familiar with the occ and police serviced. the occ must replace both it's
7:13 pm
vehicles by 2015 under the city's clean air ordinance. those vehicles are more than 12-year-old and the deadline is july 1st of 2015. the occ has had those vehicles since 19939. they must replace the position - the occ two vehicles are fourteen years old. as i said
7:14 pm
contingent outreach strategy plans. some of the staff using the second thing vehicle require accommodatess and to limit the
7:15 pm
staff to two vehicles would limit the chief directors car who is conducting the activity that i referred to previously. our second point with regards to the 23 percent attrition cut which i said is as recently as this morning has been reduced to a 17 percent attrition to the deputy director would preclude the office from filling that position timely. the occ anticipates filling the vacancy as soon as august. i indicated the position would be filled no matter september 12th but the director detective investigator position is critical because it manages
7:16 pm
the staff and it's been vacant since march filled by an acting position. i ask you restore the critical position >> mr. chair and members of the committee. first of all, we'll work with the department. first of all, on the vehicle our explanation stands this vehicle has less than 50 thousand miles not to be replaced and number 2 i'm glad the department commented open 0 the hiring the deputy director one. if you look on page 60 documents is our remedies is simply to reduce the fte to reflect actual
7:17 pm
hiring time we're remedying an amount which we do in every department of the recommendations we're making you're considering for reprioritization of our savings this is a fundamental recommendation that you don't - there is no need to leave money in the budget unless the position is going to be hired on a certain date. based on that recommendation that's the cut we made. of course, we'll revise our recommendation but this is an important recommendation such as attrition based on history and actually history and projections we recommended to the board of supervisors to not leave money
7:18 pm
on the table and not leave money in the departments that are not going to be expedient. year after year we're saying to the board of supervisors take it now and use it for your needs now. >> thank you, mr. rose. colleagues supervisor avalos >> just a followup on the vehicle and a for next week can we get a summary of all vehicles purchased. it would be good to see the goal it's to see the rescues of vehicles and get the aged vehicles off the street as well >> we can provided that
7:19 pm
information for you. >> okay. thank you. >> colleagues any other questions or committals at this time. >> i did want to ask ms. hicks if she could respond to the comments. it sounds like the vehicle that has less than 50 thousands miles and not to purchase a new vehicle but i'm wondering it's necessary to purchase a new vehicle and he also said it's not a reduction of the deputy one position but adjusted on the actual budget numbers >> supervisor mar thank you it for your question. the objection cross-examination cross-examination thought to replace both vehicles because of the clean air ordinance requires
7:20 pm
that vehicles over 12 years old be retired by 2014. we're simply attempting to comply with that policy and the mayor misunderstand that request and provided us with a replacement. it in the meanwhile, it's atkins the age and for occ it's the functions that we have to perform daily trips to the hall of justice. at a staff with disabled that will not accommodate other forms of transportation. catching the bus with confidential personnel documents a peace officer confidential paperwork. and meeting timelines it would
7:21 pm
be an inefficiencies and it's not simply not doable with the staff that we have. it's a small staff. we've look at other deliver but the documents are confidential and my staff has gone through a background check and what other office do doesn't work for our office. it's not just a daily trip to the hall of justice but engaging in community outreach, providing brochures and very importantly we have a staff of 16 field investigators, 3 senior investigators who got out in the field with the vehicle. and conduct investigations so
7:22 pm
that is why we need our vehicles >> all right. can i suggest something. we can talk about this next week why don't we save this conversation >> i've not had one word why to replace a 50 thousand mile vehicle not one statement has been made by getting a brand new vehicle but if the department can provided us with some documentation why it's sufficient to replace this vehicle we'll take into account that. >> there was a second part chairperson with regard to attrition and leaving money on the table. the occ has never left money on
7:23 pm
the table. with regards to the 50 thousand miles we could drive this vehicle by the way, there's the 12 year limitation. if we can get a limitation we can keep the vehicle we were attempting to comply >> i have a feeling we'll get this resolved. >> colleagues any questions. >> i do in this report it says that this doesn't require that 12-year-old vehicle bebe replaced by the instantaneously be implemented. so i'm concerned this statement is not entirely accurate and i know we're going to get into a
7:24 pm
discussion but i don't think there was a need for an exemption in this case >> okay colleagues unless there's no other questions? any other questions? >> along with the police department budget typically i asked for you see 3 classes that are being proposed for the next 2 fiscal year but i know we actually have, you know, there's plans for the howard classes and there's the realty e reality of it and if there's any savings we can find for configuring the start dates and based on reality
7:25 pm
are we able to achieve and as well as it would be good if the controller can come back with a report so with he can actually see the report on the amount for the class we're seeing and have that broken down so we can make choices. it would be good to consider before the committee >> we are on time and on schedule hiring what we need. part of the reason we got so what the fix we're in we started the late classes and there were no classes in the next fiscal year. we keep going up and down we're on time and on schedule so we can get the full staffing by
7:26 pm
2018 >> supervisor mary. >> yeah, the sworn hiring planning plan to get up to december 2018 to the one through 9 hundred and 18 it would be good to see how the academy classes will be helping to get up to the amount so more data on that would be appreciated. as supervisor avalos said i would like to know the cost savings but if you could justify the 33 it looks like it going to 2 academy classes no, it's 3 then it goes to 2 actually forever because that matches up with the annual attrition
7:27 pm
>> thank you. i just want to support what the chief has just said. i like the committee and the member of the board i have some significant priorities in terms of the budget. it's always attempting to eliminates the classes if you francisco cut a class i think it's $4 million so it's tempting but it's what we've done for a lot of years we're paying the piper. our department is 3 hundred short even with the recent academy classes we're treading water with the retirements. we don't have enough traffic enforcement in the city. and we see a spike in robberies.
7:28 pm
we don't have enough officers walking beats. and i have folks tell me i can't have the officers on the beat because i don't have enough officers. we can't get the officers on board and on the streets and fighting crime we can't get. on staff fast enough. i know it's easy to a say let's delay this b that will save us money and we grab that money for other important needs. but we're going in a bad place in terms of police staffing and if we don't stay committed we're going to get in a worse place. we've seen no oakland it hurts
7:29 pm
everyone when not enough police officers are on the beat. >> okay colleagues any other questions at this time. okay. thank you >> supervisor i'm happy to give you what a class costs and their stalgd and there's savings. okay thank you chief and department staff for being here today arrest moving on we're going to hear from our senior administrator and development authority. i i know many kelly is here and treasure islands wants to go
7:30 pm
first. terror island first? okay >> good morning supervisor director of violence operations. as you know the mission of treasure i'd like to to manage the base and through that development process to create housing and job opportunities. including assuring job opportunities for the disadvantaged. annoy during u during this period tied is also responsible for the municipal services. to pay for the costs associated with development and operations we generate money including housing and commercial space now before i review this. i would like to discuss how the so
