thank you for the opportunity to make my office budget presentation i'd like i'd like to say if you look at the numbers our budget for the next two years increases very very small more specifically as the budget analyst has made clear a proposed budget for n.y. 2015-2016 is only one percent more than our original fiscal year budget this past year and our fiscal year budget for 2016-2017 is approximately 2 percent more than the mayors proposed budget of 2015-2016 so with relatively small increases in budget we're called upon often to deal with a work load a responsibility we take very, very seriously and look forward to serving you over the course of the next two years

i'll be happy to answer any questions and want to reiterate we're in ongoing discussions with the budget and we'll have an agreements by next week. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. >> thank you mr. chairman and mr. herrera thank you for coming i know thank you to you and all both attorney and non-attorney staff for the incredible work you do attire the people of san francisco obtain so many levels and much of it every researching the newspaper but a critical work i know we at the board rely on our office to be able to do the work we do i also want to thank you for the lawsuit you filed last week against one of the worse

splairts that purchased 9 buildings and systematically violating the law ♪ a lot of ways and your office filed a lawsuit i appreciate it coming from a bad situation but continuing off of that in terms of code enforcement the office i everything did a lot of terrific work but in general, i think - i don't think we do enough code enforcement and the city attorney's office is often i've often wait for the departments to refer cases over to you some departments refer cases and other departments heralds every refer them do you have thoughts to improve your code enforcement system i know your work with

legislation to empower the city attorney's office >> i mean a matter of administrator law the legislation you're working on is extremely helpful i'll say that really thank to you and supervisor farrell lecturer in terms of the providing us additional resources to side code enforcement related work that has helped i know both of you fought very very intellectual to make sure we had additional money to pursue that kind of work that's been helpful anything that streamlines the process that enables us to have no more dick authority perspectively is helpful we welcome so we're committed to work with you cafe whether you or supervisor farrell or any other member of this body 0

sided whatever we can to streamline the process i'll tell you it is kind of in my opinion that when our office does code enforcement oftentimes that's the only interaction that a consul member might have with the government of the city and county of san francisco and that work is not only about securing great results by an ambassador for what we do as a city and work with you as district supervisors to help to aid issues and that's kind of the constituents work we do we take that very, very seriously wore committed to work with the perspectively to do what we can. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you. >> how are you. >> thanks for all the work you do for the city especially your

work to save city college i'm curious in terms of what you do your office interacts with our offices by preparing legislation and so forth through the years i'm curious what percentage of you're either your staff or budget do you allocate towards that. >> doing legislative work for your offices i'll say i don't have an exact number off the top of my head in terms of percentage but i will say it is a very large part of the work we do i i know that all of you have trembling go respirations e relationship with mr. gibner. >> there are various minds times when i think a

legislatively various members of the board are more active the fact of the matter is the most important work we do is interacting with you individually as a a body to deal with issues that arises in our district and citywide i'll say several years or years ago the budget was different we were to be more efficient and the amount of legislation we are that doing was reduced because it was sort now an allocation of hours based on the - i'll say you are very, very good had we alert you to the fact you prioritize the work we're getting near a cap that's

not no our interest to shut you off but forces us to prioritize it makes my lawyers be better lawyers and helps you to prioritize our work and prioritize what important in the particular moment i think that makes you will say all more efficient i can't have you specific numbers of the percentage of the overall budget but a significant part of our work and work that comes not only from the government but the land use and the like and very, very significant part of what we do. >> i appreciate that i'm not sure my colleagues some of the colleagues have been here longer than i have what i'm noticing i don't know if it is wore all reaching our capacity

in asking for help there recent times when your attorneys are working hard on which means they have to spread themselves around when i ask for things that are time sensitive it seems like it doesn't come maybe you need more capacity. >> no supervisor i'll say that right now we are at the appropriate staffing level with respect to attorneys for our number of paralyzed positions that's part of an efficient manager to make sure you're getting things in a positive way staff is spread thin sometimes i view that as my job if you

don't think they're getting time - i'll encourage you to let me know we allocate and adjust according i'll give an explanation if there's are there's a time constraint i've had supervisors call me as a manager it is my job to service you i ask you to call necessary directly and we'll try our best to respond. >> colleagues if no other questions mr. rose our report please. mr. chairman and members of the committee first of all, the city attorney said hits budget is only going up one percent but for your information on the general fund side 23 percent you

know that as well our recognized on the page of recollected rescues are 6 hundred accomplice thousand dollars and 2016 and of that amount 2 hundred and 31 are ongoing savings and one time savings those reductions are an in there or two 10th of a percent in the 2015-2016 our recommended reductions in 2016-2017 and of that amount our ongoing savings those will allow an increase of 1.8 percent and the city attorney is right we'll have a green recommendation next week week. >> colleagues, any further conversation and see you back next monday up next, we have ms.

sparks from the human right commission. >> good afternoon, supervisors once again, it is great to be before you thank you for what you do and we'll be talking about some of the things supervisor wiener has done a little bit later in the presentation i'm sure you're aware of the human right is responsible for administering all of non-discretion ordinances to the city and we develop and recommend policy to the board of supervisors and the mayor's office and to our commission adaptation other than human rights issues in addition, we're the only agency that is charged to zeal with disputes eir group tensions within the city itself

the first slide you see - is since the the local business enterprise and the adequately benefits were transferred in nevada and 2013 we've settled down to be what it was designed for to address issues of non-discrimination to the city our organization is simple we have a non-discriminations policy and justice division performance measures a snapshot of what we do on non-discrimination marry in 2013-2014 we had 13 hundred plus inquires phones and walk in inquires about issues of alleged discrimination most are transferred to other city

agencies or we recommended outside services for them to go to because they don't fall win our jurisdiction on the protected classes 2014-2015 we're estimating one thousand a deposit drop of 3 hundred and total number of compliments between you wouldn't and hundred and filed settled between 25 and 10 the big differences we do mediation before the complaint and during the complaint process by doing that mediation most are successful we reduce the complaint process down to a much for rapid process which is going good for the city and client new complaints our biggest complaint is disability those are the protected clients

a section orientation is race in the city and county of san francisco so exact date it in the area of housing his or her discrimination like elevators not repaired in an sro or other non-discrimination and those are unusual relatively easy to meet it requires some type of a repair fix that's our biggest complainant area next slide the policy and justification those are things we worked on this year we facility two advisors committees with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenders is working an accident lgbt housing and health access and administrative reform they talk about man and woman and husband

and wife and look at the changes and also fascinating with the adequately pay advisory board created by this board and fascinating that the outreach advocate an ordinance passed by supervisor kim a year ago lgbtq community needs assessment or violate preservation and supervisors are looking at the violence between the lvenlt community they're much higher and we're learning over thirty percent of the lgbtq don't trust the police to make a report even around violate crime we've found statistics and dpw policies to recommend to the board and the mayor as how to address those

and the latin will fund those programs going forward an initiative process we've created a safe place for latins in the mission the money will be used for capacity building and talking about issues over discrimination most of council is trauma council the community we're fighting is more traumatized then we thought it might be and the council's we'll bring in are doing trauma kourm and we'll see that as a huge issue the posted 9-1-1 discrimination having to do with the population we want to thank some of the supervisors that attend our

dismays we're looking important others venues in a couple of week we're looking for venues inside and outside like new york to get awe hold the exhibition human rights impact on the war of drugs we finally provides water a report violence against sex workers and anti-semistism is underway and the adequately pay and the anti discrimination housing policies that will we have supervisor wiener's project in l.a. county looking at the discrimination of lgbt seniors in long care facilities and i'll add the equal pay and non-sdriemgs policies were matter at hand as human rights with no funding so we've requested one additional person to manage those projects so far

the mayor has refused one additional person we may come and ask the board to replace that those take quite a bit of staff time supervisor wiener the land use commission transportation committee is starting sea if theirs voting i'll come for that as well. >> we're doing a substantial amount of lessons around section 8 vouchers some people housing providers are retrofit to accept section 8 vouchers so for housing we're looking that for the sanctuary city ordinance with the discrimination and this year we piloted angle explicit

bias program and we continue with two more sections i think will be institutionalized in the city family fleeshg the next is the operating budget the same always the last couple of years the only under consideration in 2016 was the additional funding for the latino project no big change going forward. >> anticipate if you look at the next one you'll see the major challenges 2 hundred thesis for latino violence that is for the prospective in the mission for the community advocate and trauma that concludes my presentation. and we see no substantial increases in our budget i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor mar. >> thank you many sparks for

the presentation the human rights has developed into the focused anti discrimination agency after the structural changes a few years ago i wanted to say that i say training in the various programs allows you to focus on addressing communities of concern and so many ones i was going to ask about the transgender violence and the transgender demonstration on the steps could you in fact on the violence against transgender and people of color in the transgender community. >> the transgender people particle women of color the most significant issue in the community the violence against those individuals are many times as ten times what violence

against genetic woman or monthly in any community and those are the ones wore aware of we understand many, many times those people are miss gender we believe that statistics are higher we've worked with the justice project which is a african-american led project around women in jails and trying to help deal with the issue the transgender women have housed with men in the couldn't jails and the state prisons we're dealing with the current pistol program holy to move transgender women into women's pods instead of men's the post royals is important because they're housed with me up they're unable to par take in services by the time they're in

jail so consequentially they live the county jails in worse conditions that's a big work in tarnishing is lobbying the board i think one day after the demonstration this is a coalition of 15 or 18 transgender organizations working together to try to raise the awareness of violence issues and supervisor campos is working with tarnishing shall say coalition and supervisor jane kim is working with a program she's going to recommend going forward so those are critical issues as you may notice if you take the war on drugs over 50 percent of our programs this year were based on people of color wore proud of that and that's the ordinances of the human rights commission we're taking that legacy forward in strong terms. >> it's clear from the new

complaints filed that disability and discrimination is the lawyers of the complaints. >> as long as i've been in the commission a lot of the same complaints it is primarily access accessed to apartments access to services, access to restaurants those kinds of things and some of them are egregious like not repairing an elevator in an sro with disabled people with wheelchairs going on we tried try to handle that. >> great for the staff over the years and to others that have dealt with issues the last question on the police texting homophobic racism text messages i know there's a training on

unconscious racism you did not on this list what's the process and will that continue focusing on the police bias and 25u7b9d cases. >> we those are two different issues one the training we self-funded a preliminary pistol program and the first one was with a number of department heads and senior staff the is it correct one is july 29th or june 29th other department hundreds and the third one in julia acceptance phase training for the forward facing organizations and urban heads in the middle of that the police department will do a training as well they put on their own training using our trainer we use to do a training for the staff with the pd that was led

by the chief suhr and from lieutenants to sergeants all the way up 75 people attended that will continue with the police department and explicit bias will indeed be institutionalized in the city and continued next week by the human resources to do other department heads senior staff people forward facing staff a very large number of people as far as the police department and the misconduct we've not dealt with that at all because there seems to be the police commission is look at those and the city attorney has been looking those issues and accident police department the office of complaints we've not been involved in that way so - >> could i begin the term when our dir went to the training he

used that term but unconscious sexism and homophobic. >> it is unconsciousness bias you don't understand is it so not observe or explicit you're doing it because of our environment or lack of finding or lack of personal came back or whatever the reason that's a way to get in a lot of physiology and brain science the fascinating experience i recommend if you're interested the board try to attend one. >> thank you, colleagues any further questions for many characterize sparks. >> thank you. we'll congratulations. >> next up dr. emily murase is here for the status on the commission of

women. >> good afternoon chair federal and local and commissions yes, ma'am executive director on the status on the commission of women i'm joined by my policy disbursements i want to acknowledge of the the work of my nasty have 8 slides to share with you can he have the overhead please. great. >> so next slide please. department mission our mission to insure the equal treatment for women and girls for population in needs 3 primary
