will introduce the budgetary adjustments to the sfpuc's adopted fiscal year 2016 annual operating budget and this mid-cycle review. so the commission approved a budget for fiscal years 2015 and 2016. the adopted budget for the 3 enterprises is 988.98 million dollars. the first adjustment to this budget is the mou adjustment made by the controller's office to reflect reduced retirement rates and fringes. after evaluating and rejecting many budgetary adjusting requests, there is only one proposed adjustment presented to you now and this request is half a million dollars for new services installation and the water enterprise to purchase two vocs

along with 5 project-funded (inaudible) this half million increase is offset by the mou adjustments and leaves the total annual budget amount unchanged. the next slide shows the breakdown of the fte count and to authorized funded positions, salary savings, and the total positions funded in the operating budget. associated with the new request for these services installation is an additional project funded fte's to reduce overtime, increasing the authorized positions from $749 to $754 in the water, regional and end city, and the total has increased from 2,402 to 24407.

the proposed budget dollars remain unchanged and unaffected by these budget counts. a little explanation to support the increase of the new service installation program. the new services installation budget request will allow the water enterprise to reduce backlog in two places, water pipeline main connections and for new service requests. currently the backlog for new service requests is 4 months and we are hoping to reduce the backlog to one or two months at the most. and the projected revenue to be realized from the backlog is about a million dollars and then the other purpose is to accommodate work arounds for new developments. at this time we are requesting the commission's approval of the budgetary adjustments to the adopted fiscal year 16

annual operating budget so that submission to the controller by february 23rd is possible. are there any questions that i can answer? >> what's a work around? >> plumbing modifications may need to be made to accommodate major development projects. >> sometimes we have to go out and do something to get the development hooked up and just we put something in place temporarily then we have to go back in and put something in permanently. one frt things you have to recall is development is happening in the city quite rapidly and what tends to happen with developers or their contractors is they wait until the last minute to come in and say we need you to hook us up and they say can you do it tomorrow because they have to pay us a fee to do that. we try to schedule our

crews as was stated a couple weeks out. we're behind, we're looking at other ways we can maybe speed up service, but we think this is the most efficient way to do it. we want to hook up these customers and they want to be connected. >> these are all funded? >> they will be 3 year positions. they are not tenured positions. >> if we get past the boom of those positions they will have to be reconsidered. >> those positions will have a time limit on them, they will have a sunset provision. >> any further questions? any public comment on this item? may i have a motion? >> move it. >> second. >> all those in favor? opposed? the motion carries. item 12. >> item 12, resolution to

calendar a public hearing on may 12, 2015 to consider the adoption of wholesale water rates for fiscal year 2015-16, effective july 1, 2015. >> this item is fairly self-explanatory. we need you to pass a resolution so we can set a date to send our wholesale customers when we can have a hearing on that wholesale rates. >> outrageous. >> i didn't ask for comment. >> i'd like to move the item. >> i'll second it. >> any public comment on this? seeing none, all those in favor? opposed? the motion carries. >> item 13, adopt rules and regulations for administering interruptable water service. >> mr. ritchie.

>> steve ritchie, general manager for water. (inaudible) step wise fashion the original version that we asked the commission to adopt had a very steep curve, almost immediately putting them out of water. so we made it a little bit more gradual, we think that's more reasonable but still is faster than what the residential conservation would have to be so we recommend approval as it is. >> any questions? may i have a motion? >> move it. >> second. >> public comment on this item? all those in favor? opposed? the motion carries. >> item 14, adopt a resolution authorizing the general manager, together with the executive director of the treasure island development authority, to jointly enter into a long-term interconnection agreement with the port of oakland.

>> barbara hale, assistant general manager for power. what you have is a continuation of a agreement we have had with the port of oakland. as you know we are the power provider for treasure island. we have perform that function in a caretaker role for tida and this provides for the renegotiation and extension of our arrangement for conveying wapa power through the port of oakland substation located on the port property. this agreement would allow us to continue to provide that service, it's been approved already by the tida board and with your support tida will take it to the board of supervisors. and i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. thank you. >> questions? >> i will move the item.

>> second. >> calling for public comment on this item. seeing none i will take the vote. all those in favor. opposed? the motion carries. at this juncture i'd like to announce that items 15 and 16 are being removed from the calendar and they will be heard at a later date. >> madam secretary, can you read the matters that will be discussed in closed session. >> item 19 --. >> if i can interrupt, i don't think we need a closed session today. so if you would like to finish the meeting --. >> all right, jumping ahead, is there any other new business? seeing none, this meeting is adjourned at 3.01.

(meeting adjourned). >> good evening, everyone welcome to our home you know this is a really important moment for me and the office and i know you're here in their home i want to make sure you all feel welcome here but before we get into the core of that talk

handle those in a thoughtful and meaningful way and i want to recognize mom we're being asked to provide support and to provide technical assistance assistance to other city their holding offenders accountable and we're saving taxpayers' money in a way that we never could from this building once more as a indicated earlier we're working with the city's so i want to thank you for all you do thank you for your incredible work thank you so much (clapping) you know i'm pleased to nuance from 2013 to 2014 violent crime in san francisco as dropped robbers buena down 22 percent

and homicides and thefts also down i recognize that the consider for those to many no one can be responsible for the success it is the collaboration of many working together but again, i want to a tack a moment to thank the men and women of my office because they're simply not content with the success in the justice system you know crime is down in almost every major city around the country but san francisco is the only couldn't in california where crime is down and our jail is half empty that requires a different way of handing the criminal justice system with eloquence you can lower crime in san francisco we rewriting the book and the boarders of the

district attorney's office example in san francisco in cities across the globe people were being violently attacked for a their smart phones those devices sell for hundreds and thousands of dollars but instead of nor incarceration we recognize by removing did market rate of a stolen dries the incentive to operate that public safety can't be achieved in a thoughtful and eloquent way the industry has the opportunity opportunity to volunteer a technology that will render technical devices recuseless they had the opportunity to do the right thing to do they had the opportunity to limit the

violence but refused and i know that something had to be done between 2013 i'm sorry 2012 and 2013 nearly 5 million americans were victimized and had their phones stolen they have their pipers in their phones many were signing which you have contracts the wireless city was making millions of 0 delores dollars off the victims they were putting safety over devices we were looking for a different way to handle business some reason looking to handle the penalties and stealing a smart phone is what a federal crime we don't need to go to a place that puts

young people in crim we got the legislative of legislation and we won in august the governor signed the bill into law requiring that all devices sold not united states to have the phones cut off by default we continuing thank you your part of the success your participation and e-mails it was you talking to our legislators and the pressure that was put collectively that made this happen the benefit expends beyond a reasonable doubt california it will in every small out-of-towner town across the united states furthermore every wireless consumer on the planet will have the protections

created by california law isn't that wonderful (clapping) and yeah. please give yourselves a han hand we in san francisco are city manager's office the benefits from 2013 thirty to 2014 robberies have dropped 27 percent for those phones that in response to our work already asphalted a kill switch we know the drops are closer to 60 percent we know this is working already in fact, the mayor of london and the attorney general from new york have invited me to have a press conference they'll be announcing that robbers in london cell phones the high phones are the kill switch have

dropped 50 percent and similar numbers in new york and this all started right here san francisco lead the way and i expect our numbers will continue to go down the technology is implemented across the industry and the orderly phones are quickly phasing we're insuring the safety of wireless empires for that right sharing consumers in san francisco the attorney general is showing the world that thought of sub regulation keeps them save both can be done we worked tireless to be sure that violent offenders are kept off the streets away under our community about in order to have the resources to be able to focus on o who possess a treat

we must use different strategies for the low offenders one-size-fits-all is crude and inefficient in this office success is not only defined by lower crime rates but bylogically crime by i awhile reducing our reliance on jails and prisons to reduce crime less crimes is not a utopia infancy it is already happening and this year we saw the numbers of inmates in 34 state prisons go down as a result of the work that's done in this office we reach the core mandate population a year earlier too years ago we thought it that couldn't happen awhile crime

continues to go down in san francisco here our jail will population is at a 40 year low isn't that interesting we have half you are and jails entry and crime is going down my thirty years of experience in law enforcement has become clear to me that the circling people in and out of jail expecting them to stop offending is completely unrealistic and wouldn't work we must help those with strong crim simply putting people in jail without understanding the root is a bad strategy thank you, thank you. (clapping.) and you i know that is why i work to put appropriations 47 on

the ballot and thankful this november californians agree and san francisco led the way almost 60 percent of all californians but more than 80 percent of san franciscans building it was time to hit the reset bottom and change course yes. yes. (clapping.) you know noerps will people do do state prison for simple position it's interesting we don't send people to prison for that simple possession by since prop 47 passed nearly 47 thousand people were released from prison noerps will they bear the felon conviction this is critical because a felony conviction caprice exclude an offenders from getting a job to

turn around their life it if we want to help people and enhance public safety we must reduce recidivism and the only way to do see by helping people re12k3wr5g9 themselves into the community and housing and employment are critical to the process this common sense reform will save as manipulative 1 at quarter billion dollars to the state over the next 5 years instead of using this people money to locate people up we'll support education and mental health and drug abuse treatment to help address the root of the crime yes (clapping) i know california is especially 70 san franciscans had the foresight to end this danger

cycle and turn around the war on drugs we've relied on for 50 years you recognize that a thought of approach to offenders does important for public safety you know as important as 0 prop 47 was there's still much work to be define friday evening california felons related in 2008 and 9 was 61 percent that rate is still the case today, our prosecutors recognize they can and should play a role no recidivism reduction that makes a community safe but they need the practical tools to take the oil to real that's one of the reasons that we have the program to improve

public safety by san francisco reducing remaining and incarceration this is the first of its kind fundamentally shift our mandate of approvals move from the masking of conviction rates to recidivism reduction and community safety many when we started this criticized it and said this is not going to work guess what it is already working we have a uc berkley combraup group do an evaluation and they found compelling evidence this program reduce recidivism by 24 percent 19 percent a sunlight of having the planner review the cases we've saved an estimate 3 and a

half million dollars that's not even including the impact an families and community in the criminal justice system last year may office file 6 thousands plus now kinds and sent other cases out yet one alternative plan is only able to review 3 hundred cases a year it is for the reason we're looking to expand innovation like the incentive program participate in case involving young adults and on the brain the cortex of the brain responsible for the cognizant active response is not fully developed until wire in our 20s as a relative young people are

more likely to act on impulse to act on risky behalf for the e months ago and be 1rush8 to peer pressure and stress if so important we have a specialized result for young adults in the system our current difficulties in juvenile system are ill-suited for an age group that compromises 10 percent but 24 percent of our offenders and that is why we need funds for the young adult it offenders beginning with a young court. (clapping.) yes, thank you this is smart this is not only socially responsible but economically be responsible the alternative
