working with animal care control. this is not just animal care control coming in saying we want more staffing. i know the city administrator's office had sort of an oversight entity, you guys took a very objective deep look in the agency in terms of structurally what it needed and the work in the budget in the past, you don't throw money at things. you do it when you think it's necessary. and, so, this is not in many ways while i think these are true needs of this agency, and sometimes people look at animal care and control and say it's just animals, it's not, you know, it's not on the level of some of our other needs. but putting aside the fact that, you know, how important animals are in the life of the city and how many enormous number of dogs and cats and other animals, animal care and control, it's a safety net organization.

it's not a pick and choose. when you go in there, there's not a lot of animals you would ever expect to see in a shelter, types of animal you see there. and they don't turn nina way. so, we need to make sure we have the capacity. ~ turn anyone away the appreciate what the city administrator's office did. i hope at the board level we're going be able to make up the difference between what the mayor is proposing and what the city administer recommended. >> thank you. moving on to the positions, again, i think we went through all the added new positions. and then lastly, just major initiatives, again, thank you, supervisor wiener, [speaker not understood] my main focus has been improving public safety and health. and, so, we have through the budget process been given money

for the medical examiner, not only in positions but in equipment to help the turn around times in that office, plus animal care and control in addition to the positions increased positions which we're very appreciative of, we have capital funding going into facility maintenance -- not facility, planning for a new facility because they are in need of a new shelter. modernization of the central system infrastructure is a huge priority for me as i talked about the medical examiner and not only just equipment to help with the turn around time of cases, but also a case management system and making sure that the data we get tied to in effect i have case management system. with our fleet, we are funded for a new tps telematic system which is wonderful. not only the mileage, it will have better information in mileage such as idling times

and other essential information that we can get from telematics. we're cup dating the 311 call center which is very important. and, of course, we are always supportive of increasing [speaker not understood] accessibility and community participation. we have additional professional services for oceia in [speaker not understood], interpretation services. our neighborhood beautification grant, we're partnering with the planning department. we have [speaker not understood] funding grants that will go to eastern neighborhoods, market octavia, the [speaker not understood] programs and as always we are putting money towards our a-d-a transition plan. i think it would be just on a closing note, one of the most proud achievements that we did this past year is working with our county clerk's office. and when we got that [speaker not understood] decision to resume same sex marriage, within an hour all the members of the general service agency

helped the county clerk as office and was able to get that office up and running for an entire weekend. but we were able to process over a thousand same-sex marriage certificateses. so, i'm proud of the members of the general service agency and you'll be hearing from the director of the county clerk later today to talk about their fees. any other question? >> colleagues, any questions or comments? supervisor mar. >> i wanted to thank city administrator kelly for juggling so many different disparate departments and areas. i wanted to ask about the office of civic engagement and immigrant affairs. i know that there's been the expansion to filipino/tagalog. i'm wondering if you can kind of walk us through a little bit more of the adequate staffing of that office. >> so far i have not heard from -- when adrian is here who can

talk about eia. for tagalog we put in an issue last year for tagalog. we are doing interpretation services for tagalog. there will probably be other one-time expenses to other departments to get all of their material interpreted. oci and my office will act -- will be extremely helpful to those departments and helping them figure out which documents need to be interpreted -- to be translated and what technology is out there to help translate different services. >> and i know with the board's strong support of language equality and language access ordinance that there's a lot of work, not just for the office of civic engagement immigrant affairs, but departments throughout the city to keep up with tracking the staffing and the languagiblabilities of staff to make sure that we're treating fairly and equally different language, so-called minority populations.

i really appreciate the focus on that ~. i did want to say that for one of the other line items, grants for the arts area that -- from last year's budget, i know that some concerns were raised about the need for more equitable and fair funding, especially to ethnic lgbt women and under served communities, arts organizations. and i know that there was an effort last year to take some of the resources to -- i don't know that there were increases in grants for the arts, but taking some of the resources to fund more equitable arts funding. we're coming up in july, i think it's later in july for a hearing on a budget analyst report that looked at 25 years of the funding within grants for the arts. at that time i know i'll be raising some of the same concerns. but i'm just wondering if you can comment on progress, if any. i think the report highlighted that there's probably been no

progress over the past few years in more equitable funding for the smaller arts groups, especially ethnic community arts given the demographic shifts in the population. and i'm just wondering if you can just comment on the lack of progress. >> well, i think i look forward to that hearing in july. i think we need to dive down into that report a bit more. i will note that when we did our own analysis, there was a 68% overlay of grants for the arts [speaker not understood] over the cultural equity grantees. that's money on top -- money for the arts grant on top of the grant from the cultural equity program. i think that during the last few years there's been kind of, especially during recession years, the money has helped -- there hasn't been increased dollars for grants for the arts to include more programs.

but i do believe that it is something that we all care about, that there is equitable distribution of funds to all cultural organizations. and i think that i look forward to that hearing in july to discuss collaboratively with the board of supervisors on thing that we can do to make sure organizations that we have equitable distribution of funds. >> i know that commitments were made last year at this time for -- from your office and michelle [speaker not understood] from grants for the arts that equity and fairness, more of an even playing field for some of the smaller younger upcoming arts groups that serve populations that both supervisor breed and i and others referenced. i know that there were commitments. but i'm worried that the budget analyst report shows there wasn't any progress. but i'm looking forward to that analysis and discussion in july. i also wanted to say that in my

conversations with tom ducaney and others, i know everybody has to work together to expand the pie, but i worry some of the arts advocates in our neighborhood have said if we continue at a snail's pace of equalizing arts funding for more community based smaller lgbt women, people of color or ethnic organizations that we won't achieve anything close to cultural equity until 20 61. i'll be 100 years old by then and probably dead, but i'm just worried if we don't act now with a serious commitment like was made last year by your office and ms. schulman that we're not going to achieve equity until i'm dead ~. and i don't want to see that, i want to see us make much stronger steps towards that if we can. i'll just state that right now. thank you. >> okay. colleagues, any further questions or comments? mr. rose, can we go to your report, please? >> yes, mr. chairman, members of the committee. on page 7 of our report this is

a separate report on the city administrator. i recommend reductions to the proposed budget total 284,506 dollars. in 14-15, of that amount [speaker not understood] are ongoing savings. 55,891 are one-time saving. those reductions would still allow an increase of 12.4 million or 4.2%. in the department's 14-15 budget that would result in 294,506 savings to the city's general fund in 14-15. i recommended reductions to the proposed budget total 2 74,8 92 in 15-16. all of which are ongoing saving. those reductions would still allow an increase of 566,777 of 2/10 of a percent of the department's 15-16 budget. as i understand it, the department concurs with our recommended reductions as shown on pages 8 and 9 of this separate report for today city administrator.

>> we concur. i should have stated that at the beginning of my presentation. i'd like to thank harvey rose, [speaker not understood] for the great collaboration we've had this year. so, thank you. >> thank you very much, colleague. questions for mr. rose or for ms. kelly? okay, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> okay. up next we have our police department. >> good morning, supervisors. >> good morning. >> folk get us queued up, i also want to have a chance to say thank you to everybody that helps the department out and me personally.

budget is never a strong suit of mine, so, it takes a lot of work and a lot of help to get to us this day. specifically, the board's assistance, especially with the staffing plan from two years ago, but starting this summer we start to go positive marching back to the charter mandate in 171. the police commission is always supportive of certainly mayor lee for his leadership, and that of his budget office. kate howard, the budget director and jason cunningham and leo chi, the analysts assigned tower office. controller's office, ben rosenfeld, [speaker not understood] who is also assigned to the department as you can tell there's a lot of people assigned to help us. and then of course my staff, [speaker not understood], my budget director carolyn walsh, my deputy chief of admin [speaker not understood], and over the last couple weeks working with the budget analyst's office, want to thank harvey rose and [speaker not understood] and company for the help. we're pretty close, we hope,

and i'll get to that through the budget presentation. so, i'm going to do a budget overview, hiring plan updates as i know the board always wants to hear about that. there's already been some conversation about the new public safety building. i'll provide an update there. technology projects [speaker not understood] to the efficiency that have us making up for the lack of staffing that we suffered the last few years. capital improvement projects. and then the vehicle situation. the 14-15 budget is 529,9 78,000. general fund of that 412 million. state revenues about 45.7 million is from the public safety tax ~. then there's federal revenues, police fees for other departments, fees and fines for services. again, about 89% of our budget is salary and fringe.

the rest is professional services, material and supplies. i would make note that's one of the areas that they were still having a difference with the budget analyst. our ask of this year is the exact same as last year. there's no change. our capital outlay and the department charges breakdown of $39.4 million. work orders is something we're often asked about. i cannot speak specifically to this [speaker not understood]. our airport work order is the largest. the mta work order is going down. in 12-13 the work order was 10 million, 60% of traffic enforcement, and 13-14, the traffic work order is 5 million. as we go into 14-15 that will be halved again to about 15%. and then the second year of this budget, the entire mta

general fund dollars will come back to the police department budget. and then as you can see the other breakdown, the port, puc, library, hsa, moscone, treasure island, and dpw. for positionses in the budget, our 14-15 budget is going up about $3 million. and although a lot of money, it is actually just 6/10 of 1%. so our budget is relatively flat. you can see that the positions, although they don't seem like they're going up, we're holding our own. this june is the sunsetting of the deferred retirement option plan which actually saw historic records of retirements. when the drop -- when i started as chief, i was probably in the -- about the 300th senior police officer in the san francisco police department. i'm now in the top 20. to indicate how much seniority has gone out the door, so, i'm

old. as far as our sworn hiring plan, which is very critical to get totion that 1971, i know that every member of the board wants to have more police officers on foot and they want them yesterday. so, to that end we've been hiring in earnest. in 12-13 we hired 183, 30 of those were paid for by the airport and 13-14 we hired 157. in the next two years we will hire about 165. we have about a 10% attrition rate that don't make it through. we try to get the people that we hire to be people that we think can make it through, but we want to get folks that are going to make good police officers. 15 of those are funded by the airport. the next graph says where we were, where we would be without the hiring plan as approved by the board. this slide is pretty graphic. as you can tell, last sum early and this summer will be as low

as it's ever been for police officers on the streets of san francisco and yet as you'll see in later slides, we're at least holding our own against violent crime. as those 103 officers come back, those will be the beat officers, bikoff certificates, and s-r-os. and the like will be the folks that everybody has always want to see and i'd like to have on the streets as well. it is very, very critical that we hold to the staffing plan and the schedule as every delay is officers out to the street and the delays in the past is how we got into this situation that we're in in the first place. i know that when supervisor chiu or city assessor chu was present in the budget committee, recivilianizing positions that were fallen to police officers that was better served by civilians was a priority. there were 53 budgeted positionses. 25 of those have been filled,

25 police officers -- full-duty police officers have gone back to the streets which is approximately half an academy class. we have 28 positions in the hiring process which will get us to the 53 and have 28 full-duty police officers identified as full-duty. that's more uniformed police officers where they should be on the street. the next slide is a slide that i've mentioned. the last couple years we had fallen to everyone in the san francisco police department was on the standard 10-hour day that most police officers in the country are on that are in patrol. so, when we went back to the standard where it was just for patrol, about 25% of the police department went to either the 8-hour day if they're an administrative assignment or 9 hour day if they're on assignment that requires additional training. that was a net gain of about 66

ftes or about a $10.5 million saving to the department. and over 60 officers that were in admin assignment since the offer was, if i'm changing from 10-hour day to a different schedule and you want to go to a station which is where we would rather have the officers anyway that was available to them, over 60 officers took advantage of that which is again akin to more than the academy class. the public safety building is plus or minus 30 days on schedule, which is fantastic news. great work by the contractors, the city administrator's office, dpw and all parties involved ferment we will be having a public open house sometime in november which will predate the actual occupancy as most of the upper floors are secure. but since it's a beautiful building and paid for with public bond monies, we think it only right that the public should be able to see what their money paid for and we

really appreciate the second easter bond being passed by such an overwhelming margin which will get us a new crime lab. this building, by the way, will be sustainable for 96 hours after an earthquake and can headquarter all emergency response after such a disaster. lot of solar power deficiencies, and includes back up power for department of operations center again, in the event of a major disaster. it has been big in the department. after many years of not being so, i know that director more et is here. thanks to her and pushing the envelope as far as getting us on the web and having a crime data warehouse that is pretty much the envy of the country as far as the crimes that it's able to solve and the information it has ~. and then as of late last year, we're the only department in the state that every officer has a smart phone with fleck access because of permissions

of the attorney general's office. and, again, the work of susan merit and her team. again, lots of crime being solved. and we have the network connectivity to the cars which will make the information even faster, and the ongoing issuance of smart phones. since the command staff is not outside, we're still on the blackberry, but soon enough we'll be on a newer device. >> supervisor wiener? >> yes. excuse me. to go back to staffing [speaker not understood] to see we're finally [speaker not understood] and moving up. and, so, i know it's 2018 we're going to hit [speaker not understood]. the open question of whether 1971 is still full staffing, given that we have more population, more economic activity, neighborhoods that didn't exist when that number was set. i know it's 2200, 2300 might be full staffing.

so, that will be a policy choice we'll have to make in terms of whether we continue the three class he per year once we hit 1971 ~. but i guess the question is just from the perspective of to the regular resident of san francisco in our neighborhoods, as you know and you hear it as well, we hear it, about why don't i see more police officers, i want to see more officers walking beats. i want to see, you know, more of a presence. and we know that obviously, you know, responding to critical calls is job one and also there are times when there are officers who are not in uniform so they're in the neighborhood but you don't know that they're there. but as we start increasing the numbers gradually over time, what can a regular resident of san francisco expect to see in term of seeing more beat walking, just seeing more presence in the neighborhood? >> so, the, the short answer

would be about 15 -- every station is going to gain about 15% in staffing. so, plus or minus every station will enjoy somewhere between 10 and 20 additional officers. and all those officers, as far as i'm concerned, will be beat officers or bicycle officers. >> okay. so -- >> it will be an appreciable difference. as it is right now, when the beat officers were increased on market street, the comments that we got from the general public were tremendous. when we put additional officers at stations and then that results in beat office, i know the park station and richmond station have been brought up to the minimum staffing that we had hoped to get them to because they had fallen below that. and i know that in talking to supervisor avalos, he was hoping for more beat officers at geneva and mission. captain [speaker not understood] is trying to do, to get those folks there. we hear from the public that's

appreciated. so, it is not lost on me that that's what everybody wants to see. it's more pedestrian police officers. but our number one priority has to be violent crime, especially since where we were in the mid 2000s when the homicide rate was knocking around 100 a year, and now we're -- the new normal is about half of that, and shootings were close tore 400 in many of the same districts. >> right, and i agree [speaker not understood] are job one. i'm glad to hear there will be a more focus on walking and biking officers. i can say you and i have spoken about this and we've been working with captain [speaker not understood] and captain moser before him, that the situation in the castro, upper market, safeway area has really gotten to be very, very challenging and i know that there is a strong desire to see more -- a regular police

presence and a community policing in a kind of way. and along -- i want to continue to convey that request. >> i think your point is very well taken. it's very fortunate that violence doesn't play out in the same way it does across the city. so, i think that some of the neighborhoods that, that have traditionally suffered from a higher rate of violent crime have more of our augmentation of services. but for the -- just the average is not san franciscan across the city, everybody would like to see more police officers where they have ready contact and that is a priority for the department. >> i believe in the big broken window theory. i think it does matter and, so, i'm glad we'll see more in addition to the really, really serious stuff, the so-called lesser stuff. along those lines -- forgive me if you mentioned this, i may have missed it -- the reserve

police officer program that i know you've advocated for, what's the status of that? >> so, i personally sent a letter to all of these officers that are retiring, the end of which will be june 30th, to please contemplate coming back because some of the officers really aren't ready to separate and they'd make great beat officers. the current reserve program is an unpaid program where officers work 20 hours a month. other time they want to work, but they have to work 20 hours a month. we have about 10 of the officers that have retired that have volunteered to come back including deputy chief chin. so, we're hopeful we'll get a late rush hereof of some of these officers that want to do it ~. i know there's other discussions, yourself, the chamber of commerce, the mayor's office about trying to do some sort of enhanced reserve program. i know supervisor farrell is working with the doa as well. >> i know -- is there any money in the mayor's proposed budget relating to that?

related to the mayor's budget office, i know there was some discussion about that, but can you explain the mayor's position on this? >> it seems like a really good short-term way to get more beat officers into neighborhoods ~. >> thank you, supervisor wiener, through the chair. kate howard, the mayor's budget director. the mayor's budget this year does not include any additional funding for a paid reserve program in the police department. we are certainly interested in the idea of bringing back current police officers who have decided to retire. i think the chief's plan is a great one. we're eager to see how many current police officers take him up on that opportunity. certainly interested in looking at other ideas, but that's what's included in our budget. >> and in fairness to the mayor's office and ms. reid, we do not have concurrence with the poa and it would require a

policy change to do so. so, absent getting a concurrence and an agreement, it depth make sense to put money into the budget for something that can't happen at this time. >> do you anticipate once this gets off the ground with the volunteer program in terms of assessing how it's working and working with the poa around possible next year's budget considering it make sense or does it make sense? i want to make sure that it's not sort of a dead letter that it at least stays on the radar as a possibility. >> i know it's a priority for the mayor to do whatever we can do to get more officers sooner. and certainly having retired officers come back on a voluntary basis is what can happen right now and we're having ongoing conversations as to what we can work out with the union representatives as to doing more than that. >> well, i'm happy to be involved and supportive in

whatever way i can. >> capital improvements, the stables out in golden gate park are funded and scheduled. the range renovation, funded and scheduled. district station [speaker not understood] and the hvac systems that were desperately needed were all funded and scheduled. security fencing at mission station and other amenities like lighting and interior, carpeting and lighting and roof repairs are all funded and scheduled in year two of this budget. the vehicle replacement on schedule, best practices would ask us to replace about 138 vehicles annually. that has not been the case ever. the current year budget funded 30 marked police cars which were much appreciated and very much needed. the next year's budget funds 60 marked cars and 10 motorcycles which will both come in handy

as we move towards vision zero. the 15-16 budget funds 56 various vehicles. you can see on the bottom of this chart the fuel and maintenance costs as we move to over 50% of our vehicles being out of compliance with the environmental code and healthy clean air insurance transportation program which were only gained an exception because these are emergency vehicles. i know new cars are expensive, but the fuel and maintenance is very expensive as well. so, it's just a question of how you wanted to play out the new cars are warranty efficient, fuel efficient clean, and the old vehicles, we can get by, but it gets harder and harder year to year. and, you know, i know this city and the board has a priority for being the very clean, green city. so, using the exemption for over 50% of the fl
