traditionally age youth core that is going to be starting july 1st we have a veteran's court that is about laura's law most of the initiate are your honor funded we have to take that on with our exist staff areas of disagreement which we have with the budget analyst are in two areas the first is the budget analyst is recommending that our attrition which is the amount of money that is set aside in savings that will result from details in hire be increased and specific the budget analyst question whether or not we'll be able to hire 3 lawyers by july 1st, as we planned understand that mr. rose's office looks at the citywide

what is unique about the public defender's office we hire attorneys at will we don't go through the sifrs service we'll go on through the process of vetting applicant and interviewing the applicant and in our final stages not a delay of months as the budget analyst presumes budget analyst recommends claiming of the hither of the laura's law attorney until january 1st, 2016, all of the city departments i'm sure you're aware of supervisor farrell with working together to implement laura's law by november 1st and for that reason we need to hire the laura's attorney by

october 1st, we don't anticipate any delay attorneys are hired at will we'll hire that person on october 1st it is something i this of a concern to all the department budget analyst also recommended delaying a it that this position is needed immediately a huge responsibility for our department pulling all the video and the body cameras that are expected and huge new responsibility in arithmetic to our workload we have one case we were able to pull video that showed a young eternal was innocent of murder this is the kind of important work so we don't want to delay that position until january the second area of the disagreement with the position of a change out our officer only

has essentially two executives the chief is here and myself we have a manager one a first level manager she functions as my chief of staff the operations in the office so we're asking that position be changed to a manager 3 o-931 we're smichltd this analysis to the department of home sharing we're asking that 81177 an attorney position two of those positions you made head attorneys those are individual working in a either a management or supervisory position or handling what we call a head of the attorneys caseload as you can see from the chart if i compare the city attorney and

public defender the city attorney when you compare the managing attorney thirty percent and managers to attorneys district attorney 19 percent and we come in lastly at 40 percent in terms of the manager and supervisory position when you look at non-lawyer management positions that is bans a percentage of staff not only looking at the number of passions positioning but the relative size of the staff the city attorney is at 5 and the district attorney is 8 percent and we're anothers 3 percent we do thank the mayor's office kate howard and our budget analyst for any enhancement we've received we were able to demonstrate that we received fund for the it e and the

laura's attorney we recommended those changes change out and leaving attrition as see last thing with respect to authentication we've had this issue in the past you'll notice supervisor farrell that since we've had that discussion we've not had an issue of attrition we've done it carefully with the mayor's office i don't want to come back and saw you know what we've overstepped our authentication transition we want the budget analyst with respect to the change out and the attrition be rejected and we're okay with the other recommendations. >> okay sir, thank you. >> any questions for the public defender. >> supervisor tang. >> i know we'll have more conversations about trying to implement laura's lay many of us

were co-sponsors but never mind the it that work on the video relieveal how many people in the department to do that. >> we counter don't have anyone it places a burden on the attorneys and the administrators we have a totals of 4 full time employees all engaged in other responsibilities one runs our case management system the other manages the all of the computer hardware and software the other don't the counselor it work and the on the external consumption we need a position to focus exclusively on getting this

video we're on the committee to set set the policy for the cameras that is usage because we are going to have body camera video to have the capacity to building of not only to comprehensive and download that but use it in court. >> thank you. >> okay colleagues no other questions mr. rose our report. >> mr. chairman and members of the committee on page 77 of our report our recommended reductions to the proposed budget total 3 hundred plus in 2015-2016 of that amount 47 thoughts are oncosavings and 27997 are one time savings that allow an increase of 2.6 percent

in the department 2015-2016 your reductions in that amount in 2016-2017 are ongoing saved and one time savings those reductions allow an increase of 233687 a 1.2 percent in the 2016-2017 wore still working with the department and analyzing the documents that have been submitted we'll report back next week. >> thank you very much mr. rose supervisor mar. >> i want to ask the she mentioned his office for the 3 attorneys under the attrition savings the fte she mentioned they're hiring process is different than the da they're having at w will not a civil services and ready based on the

panel some of the pool of the applicants they can hire them right away and not have to wait until january of 2016 is that the knowledge your staff had. >> mr. chairman and supervisor mar we considered that and are still analyzing and again report back next week we considered that fact. >> and the public defender laid out the management structures within his office versus the city attorney manager hire ratios a little bit less but the public defender whether it is managing attorneys or non-lawyer managerial positions being very, very low i'm wondering if this information as you used in analyzing the need for the positions he's advocated for .

>> we understand that information in all 3 department but look at the individual departments and to the best of our analysis make a judgment based on the need. >> okay lastly for the laura's law o ot court attorney to begin with enough time for the public defender's office can begin by the city's mandate i'm wondering how it could be justified that position started june 1st when they're required to get ready probably begin in october to hire that attorney position to represent people about mental illness that's one of the things we're looking at i'll give you the final facts next week. >> okay. colleagues any
