of that money. >> let me catch up to my notes here. >> for foreign trades notes provide the foreign supply trade a weekly entry a benefit that only is vertebral to foreign trade zone users an import erica take any number of shipments from the airports or seaports on a weekly basis and instead of having to file a custom's entities they can wait and aggregate them into one weekly shipment it saves them costs of customs entries but perhaps a greater benefit it allows them to review their processing fees a federal fee that an importer has to pay based on the value of

imports a minimum of $25 per customs sgri or a maximum of $485 by a congratulating having one thing entry rather than one over the course of a week and foreign trait yourself can also tampering of the direct delivery from goods from the ports that saves goods typically have to wait for customs clearance but acceptance for direct delivery they can save a day or two on the delivery of their goods for the reduce of the supply chance and provide. >> secure assignment for doing business based on the regulatory requirement so foreign trades is

considered a best practice under the federal kilograms trade partnership against terrorism or k p pack. >> today's homes are a thriving sector of the u.s. economy the latest board annual report to congress was released this past august the port showed one hundred and 79 active zones and 3 housing unit and 11 active manufacturing or production as of 2014 total of 27 hundred companies operated in zones in 2014 which is up more than a quarter in just two years so there's a lot of new activity 4 hundred and 20 thousand americans go both to work every day in the foreign trade zones it is faster than the rest of

the economy and it includes manufacturers and mode of manufacturers and pharmaceutical and machinery and apparel and footwear. >> you know in 2014 exports reached a record of $899 billion through foreign trade zones many say triple the level of 2009 if you look at it as a comparison president obama took office and launched his export to double exports into or double exports from the u.s. in 5 years unfortunately, the initiative fella ways short but foreign trade zones the export have more than tripled in the same period of time so they have foreign

trade zone users have generated much faster growth in activities to give a brief hefty of the trade zone program it has evolved continually and has adjusted over the years to take into account the changing world the program was infected in 1934 to encourage foreign commerce to promote activity in the u.s. to protect the jobs north america's the u.s. was trying to promote u.s. trade but get as much trade activity to take place in the united states in 1950 the program was opened up to allow manufacturing inside zones in 19 the duty liability was reduced

prior to that any user labor overhead or domestic parts were considered their value was considered one satisfying the customs duty that value added in the us is not part of value not part of an seated duty the petroleum sector was included in the 1990s and there's been dramatic growth in that sector since 1995 in 2000 this weekly entry benefit allows reduction in payment of manufacturing fees allowed for the fit in 2009 this framework program was introduced i'll discuss more many a minute a drastic change and the f t had

a major overhaul in 2013 this was a drastic impact on the zone program. >> this was a drastic impact on the zone program. >> 2 this was a drastic impact on the zone program. >> this allows approval for a warehouses operation in as little as 20 days for more production of manufacturing operation that's gown e down from 8 to telephone most from the regulatory change and a new form of administration called the alternative framework program was introduced in 2009, this allows the zone to cover a modestly county area any county one of the zone of that service area will be eligible for the streamline approval process this fraction program makes the foreign trades benefits more

portal to the 7 county area whereas in the past the activity needs to occur at or near the port foreign trade 3 was approved in 2010 we applied in 2009 to cover san francisco and san mateo county we were approved in 2010 and then duo due to the demands or the interest in the program we sxantd or expanded that to in custody the counties of custody the counties of marin contra costa can counties it mob approved for security in the inadvertent control and key employees we work closely with the u.s. customs in the bay area and have four agents that are focused on the foreign trade

zone two in the well-being and two in the san francisco airport and two based on in oakland a number of businesses that have been approved is growing faster than ever. >> again, the top condos eliminating the top zones naiths are first of all, the petroleum and crude refinancing industry followed by auto parts and motor vehicles i think every auto assembly plant operates within a for trade zone including tesla and electronic products and part electrical commit equipment and parts and farm sulz and chemicals so we're using this as a guide to direct our market efforts to the types of biz businesses that can benefit from the program

the bay area companies utilizing the foreign trade program currently are chevron and va last year and space systems produce facilities if the silicon valley and the lamb research to produce the equipment that helps with the manufacturers of south america con direct your attention and expediteers international a site in bris by an and phil's 6 of in - and the aviation that operates a service copy at sf international aircraft they've been approved wear waiting for customs. >> again, we seem strong interests in the foreign zip codes as a result of program reforms we also been activate if

making presentation on the program to local businesses and ports and airport and city economic development officials and chamber of commerce and trade groups and collaborated groups with the foreign trade zones in oakland and santa fe and collaborating to identify businesses that we think could benefit from the program given the idea our business eco is similar throughout the bay and to that ends port commission'ss i couldn't we recently organized a public informational trade forum that took place in oakland in september we did this in contraction with the oakland foreign trade zone we did that in part so we could utilize the contacts and get as much participation as we could we

have 65 businesses that participated in the followup frourm forum we got strong interests part of benefits of holding forums we help to educate the partners and especially folks out there working with businesses and they can help us to identify businesses that potentially could and should be working with the foreign trade zone program if our belief and that are the folks at santa fe the foreign trade zone much untapped demands for the program with the existing bay area companies that would benefit from the program and continue our outreach efforts to educate local businesses on the benefits of participating in the program and also that continue our efforts with the economic development folks to make sure that businesses that are looking to locate in the bay area are aware

this program exist and we're ready to do business with them with that, i'll close my comments and open up to any questions you might have thank you. >> thank you. >> any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner adams. >> great presentation jim that was your finale jim one a couple of questions here i said you had this meeting no oakland and business was to community and labor invited. >> question invited labor as well. >> were they there. >> that's a good question i don't believe. >> any community people there that got a chance to talk and

express themselves and we had folks from the municipalities around the bay the city of richmond we reached out to we've wraechd out to pretty much all the communities we've been in touch with let's see trying to think of what other cities we had we the outreach. >> okay. thank you. >> if anyone from the labor was there i can't recall. >> i remember seeing community members on your list in san jose not remembering the labor. >> yeah. should have brought the list. >> jim was know what the tax breaks are for tesla and space systems sethey receive by the giving the foreign trade zones, and, secondly, maybe director

moore can metropolitan me when i decide do you add backward e background check what if in their innovate a good corporate citizen though do i deal with those not having good behavior and understand on the business pack some companies only about making money and care less about the community do you look at of or monique when you look at everything and you kind of screen them and go have they a reputation for bad behavior and good corporate citizens do you do that and in terms of our first question on the tax break it would be the benefit they will awe country whatever duties savings but. >> they'll chief through deferring payment of their duties or reducing the duty say

by being able to utilize the duty amount of the final proud rather than the components those are higher than the final product or anything we export it eliminate the duties so the duty deferral eliminations or reduction or 3 of the big ones again, a number of companies especially companies that have time sensitive or high valued items we'll take advantage the weekly entry savings and reduce tare administrative costs plus the manufactured fte those fte fees those are the major one federal fees that go into the us

treasury and in terms of vesting what we do we help - well, we work with the company first of all, to see if they benefit from the program and in terms of vesting them for bad behavior we don't play that role but certainly can consider in the future, however, in a way a middleman here we help them pit together their application to the foreign trade zone board that evaluates the company and the activities they're trying to chief and they'll decide whether the company is can be approved to operate a foreign trade zone on site and manufacturers themselves the hundred and 20

days because their manufacturers their is an extra level of approval that needs to be made they have to also additionally apply for production authority and that likewise for a public comment period of that is why that period is one and 20 days an allowance for the public to make comments on companies making applications we're required not only is it published in the federal register this company applied for production authority but on a local basis advertise in a local newspaper that company has applied for zone status and hopefully, the local community members can weigh in on the application and then customs and aboarder

production have the final decision they weigh in whether they 12 this particular business is capable of operating and has the appropriate security and the appropriate personnel they've vested and the proper access for the zone there are a few levels of approval that is required and there is as i said at least on companies that are mustard and producing the public comment period that is loud for as well the foreign trade before takes into account public comment. >> two questions about corporate bad behavior not all companies are a good fits in my opinion there are times in certain communities in the place in the u.s. wouldn't want a

wal-mart and other places would love to have a wal-mart this year needs to be a value companies need to be held to a standard and if a reputations for corporate bad behavior this should be said not a good fit something to been going forward not all companies are a good corporate behavior and i don't think we were talking about - and we were liz those companies it is nice but not all companies are good corporate citizens the communities and it reflect on our repgs reputation if someone didn't have a good sculptor reputation and had a has a record of by a behavior thank you. >> thank you very much for that report it great that the program has been so successful

and grown over the years. >> and i really appreciate learning more about the foreign trade zone and how it operates good luck. >> thank you. appreciate that. >> and thank you for summary i appreciate over coming back and presenting to us and hopefully others saw the presentation i want to put on my legal hat for a moment a following up on commissioner adams point the problem we face is under the rules and regulations to serve as the foreign trade zone we can't make d when someone applies to utilize the designation we have no is a one-way or the other if we like

them; is that correct so either we're in a foreign trade zone and have to abide by the rules to make it available is that accurate. >> we've got to the two regulations for as you the grantees we can define or be real penalties if we don't follow through an them properly one is public utility and alu allow all businesses that want access for the zone benefits to be able to apply through the zone so that really kind of pits is onerous on foreign trade boards and kilograms to decide whether or not you know they'll accept or approve a site and do we were any ability agency commissioner adams pointed out an ability to weigh

in and say let me see if i understand this correctly. >> we neither approve or disapprove we have the right to not do business if they refuse to obey our operating agreement by the rules board; is that correct. >> in the operation agreement is between the user and the ports alone. >> can we put standards in that agreement. >> or would that will subject to this fair utility - and yeah. >> maybe that's something to explore. >> we typically among protections we state that it's

that the user must be abide by the all local state and federal regulations if they don't that's a cause are for us to terminate our operating agreement they can't operate a zone wautd without an operation agreement with the grantees is essentially thank you for clarifying moorj we can through the operations agreement put clear language in there that states we expect them to act in con formation with the regulations that would be cause if they don't for termination our language is pretty strong in our agreement. >> i think commissioner adams is getting to more social than legal enormous are rebreaking the law this is pretty clear i

think commissioner adams was talk about more less quantifyable so we need to explore that future. >> that's what i was asking for accountability. >> any at regulation that is pretty uniform treatment we need to treat like users in a like manner. >> have we be able to use our foreign trade zone status to work with the mayor's office of economic workforce development to try to attack more businesses into our area in particular but i know your zone is pretty board but you mentioned tesla in fremont any other large manufacturers to use this as a

tool to attract them into our areas or done that kind of outreach they had had marketing and here on behalf of the appellant. >> yeah. we've done a lot of outreach again, i think reaching out to the economic folks like the mayor's office of economic workforce development or the san francisco chamber of commerce or china sf the center of development and folks like that we've met and talked about the program and let them know and encourage them to identify the businesses currently located in san francisco or our area that benefits but be wear when they're talking to businesses that maybe looking at to locate in our and were make them aware this program available one more tool in the economic quality of life vera speaks for itself and we're trying to make sure that

the economic bay folks in the area know about the program and eye that and the chamber of commerce and the city municipal managers and anyone that is out there looking to help develop and bring in businesses in california we're in touch with the governor office of go busy exactly. >> in fact, they've cul de sac united states us to ask if our foreign trade zones covers last week the big aircraft manufacturers that is setting up shop in barkville and need access to the foreign trade program a company that is looking to location her in san leandro that would need assess and worked with sf made and one-on-one sf g based on the

pacific heights aluminum corridor and other manufacturers grasps e groups with 17 percent of foreign trade sdoernz are manufacturers and could benefit from the program we've been trying to get into the wine country to benefit that industry and met that constellations brands they own whiners in the u.s. and other spirit labels like black velvet and career they do importing and bottling and all kinds of interesting stuff to making their own wine in california sites in our area but in the extra valley and kentucky and up state new york we've been working with organizing areas to see how they can benefit and working with an

outdoor consultants a foreign aid of consultants that do deep dives and help the companies do a feasibility analysis to determine if they could benefit at the we work closely with them in the wine industry, of course, is big in our area. >> thank you gym for that information very informative. >> i appreciate all the hard work you did on this and all our hard work at the port. >> labor of love a wonderful challenge thank you. >> thank you. >> item 14 new business. >> anything new commissioners we've crossed a couple off the list today. >> i said something and can't

right direction although i agree with earlier speakers that said this city and cities cross the country thereby incorporating into the curriculum a much more comprehensive study of the world war ii many years ago when i was in high school the history class what was taught by a coach and the histories class went like this ever person with read a paragraph when i went to college world history was western civilization this kind of i think complete and biased curriculum i think exists in proving places like san francisco i think you should devote considerable time and consider part of our curriculum is educating the people on world war ii but also, we should american public education so do

a better job of covering the designation of native people the institutionalization of slafrt and our shiem full history in month part of worlds i ask you to pass and enact this but to make history in this city what it should be throughout of world. >> thank you very much no future speaker cards by way of introduction this is primary about, about educate our adult staff in the deduct u school district about the signs and resources for addressing human trafficking i want to note that the mayors task force in had you had occasion a report that document the six months from july one to december 2014200 and 91 survivors of human

trafficking in san francisco for a 6 month period and many of the cases involve children many of them involve foster youth and they've tried to capture the vulnerable port of population. >> i said ms. fewer as additional language for considered. >> thank you dr. murase that is angle opportune times to include young men and women should know there are women we want to as speaker said a woman spoke out that's why we're recognizing and the international tribal has recognized this as a form of fads infanticide and has a great

context to so the amendment i'd like to put forwards i'd like to add a couple of inserts further be it resolved that the superintendent and district staff in their i'd like to say create a task force with community experts to incorporate and education component and so this is the only thing i'd like to add into that and then i respectfully ask that we would hear the results of the progress of this in the curriculum meeting probably sometime maybe in february a february meeting just so to see how we're progressing. >> did any colleagues get that i can read it. >> the supreme court and district staff create a task force of experts to incorporate

an educational components of the history of conference of women under the japanese military and the curriculum to kathy the community about the harmful effects of the human trafficking and protecting the youth community if sexual exploitation in travks. >> commissioner fewer would the task force make recommendations to the district. >> no, i think that works in collaboration so everyone has ownership but the task force worked together with the community experts the reason i think the community experts have a sensitivity to the subject matter they know i think their expertise how to present this curriculum to the age group and make it age appropriate and also to present the curriculum in a

way non-boys but states the facts and amble appropriate frankly to our middle and high school students. >> superintendent carranza. >> great, thank you commissioners if i could just you know we'll have on our agenda a discussion about curriculum if i could suggest that the wording be all of the evidence in consultation with district staff so we fully collaborate with the experts in the community but it is owners by the district i want the district staff to write the curriculum with the experts it is an important change in the advisory committee of the communication of the community experts. >> sure i think that is great i wanted to know that whatever any budgetary implementations to add that one line in.

>> under mr. superintendent repeat language our suggesting. >> i think that the language that commissioner fewer proposed was fine instead we'll just insert in consultation with community experts. >> okay. >> truth is trying to say that the supreme court and district staff creates a task force to work in consultation to incorporate an educational component you're absolutely right we own our own curriculum that's fine if my colleague agree. >> i'm happy to accept the amended language thank you, commissioner fewer and now there are concerned about the budget analysis commissioner wynns.

>> thank you i wanted to i have two questions about the amendment that was just accepted to so i this puts me in mind of the work for guidelines for the curriculum work with the community organizations so long as the supreme court is happy www a task force is not particularly independence my preference to say if he wanted to say that to say might include a task force are whatever structure is agreed on i think it is age specific. >> so i'll just say that, however, the authors this is a accepted this but my question when is maybe opposite of others about the fiscal year analysis i read that was sent to me this

afternoon most the money is for train so i'm not specific as far as i remember as far as what the costs is just says staff training so and it is so it is mostly more hiring someone just to do this training so i'm kind of a little bit surprised by that i don't know if this is necessarily to have a person presuming doing most of training what kind we're not undergo the institutionalized trainer on this curriculum year by year are we my question aren't we're going i have to develop the train i understand that assess things but we have professional

development times set aside every year we focus on different things to which is one reason why there is not i'm presuming not money set aside for substitutes so people what leaf their classes but presume we're could this sometime in our regular professional time could someone tell me and this is a place holder we'll not necessarily have a full-time person that will permanently do this. >> mr. superintendent. >> thank you thank you, president murray is a

so commissioners this as noted in the resolution are staff view on this collectively is that there are a couple of layers one is that because this particular training is very broad based including references to every school site and classroom teachers in addition to certificate of employees that are focused on wellness staff because that training participate within the scope is so board we do feel there's needs to be additional resources to implement that train so right now there is a gap in our staffer capacity to provide to develop and provide and

chiropractor broad basis mandatory training in order to meet the needs of that resolution at this time given what is and not in place that the best solution would be hiring a staff member actually within the human resources department as 421 a personnel analyst a classification we're thinking of having said that, that individual could also do work on providing other broad based mandatory training for example, training ton mandatory reporting or sexual harassments for staff or others forms of broad based train that in fairness is a bits of a gap we have to every time there is a particular content module that comes up as something that needs

to be delivered to multiply staff including thousands of staff we have to look at the departments that could be involved and make a in some ways i am advice a solution not ideal in general when this resolution was drafted in the current form we thought the best solution to this situation which will help us in terms of other contents would be to create a dedicated staff possession that will cooperate and implement that. >> so to a finer points we're not talking about that cost all being about what is in this resolution; right? so contrary to our thing oh, it will cost sixth less than tha than identified for this resolution to be implemented and somewhere

a mandatory training director or whatever this person cost is identified here so be some kind of it will be built into next year's budget i presume we're into the budget of the current year; right? >> that's correct but you have to look at in two ways the train of adults the other curriculum development in the integration we feel strongly we can do with that an existing staff but a notion of interrelated opportunities and needs train for adults what is germane there are indicators that our staff should be trained open to identify when children maybe in danger or maybe you know recruited to be trafficked we

think is critically important for our staff to be trained on. >> i have a question commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and commissioner fewer. >> on this one 20 we're looking at a personnel analyst that will be doing the training are cooperating the training smells this is a high-level enough to do the training. >> we think this person will cooperate the train whether this involves online training or cascading the comments throw in person structures all that that to be frankly determined commissioners but the principle will take the contact that is

appropriate some of which may exist now and some needs to be developed including the consultation with the sunset experts and organized the delivery of the in services or the professional development in a lot of ways i think the challenge is as much about the roll out of training the logistics the organize and is recordkeeping to make sure that all of the again thousands of paternities have discussed - successfully passed and completed the train as about delivering the content per say so really the fulfills emphasis is about the coordination and okay. and on the so the health curriculum is r curriculum is 45 thousand on one time and the annual 17 thousand what is that? piece of it because the 37 plus

the 25 is the curriculum total so what part is the unanimous and what part of one time >> commissioners, if you look at the moab memo i want to thank kim the executive director of the school programs did it thorough job of detailing the cost of related to the school health curriculum to help the curriculum so this is a little bit complicated if you see on the second and third pages of memo by way of for members of the public who, who are here there is copies of document referred to in they're available in the foyer so the memo in ms. coats analysis indicates that specific items related to the

elementary school and middle middle and high school curriculum in the parse of the memo on page two and three detailing the specific costs there are a total cost items this has to do with with training and/or curriculum and development those personnel costs and the first two are one time costs so extend days for health education for health educators for curriculum and professional development that's the first one the second one is to partner with cbo's to collaborate with health assessor those are one time costs and the items 3, 4 and 5 within the personnel section are annual costs so those are annual

workshops for health educators and then the last section are non-neglect costs so the startup costs is $20,000 for a curriculum materials and in year 2 and i don't understand that we estimate that would require 5 thousand dollars every year to replenish those materials those are the specific items that has to do with with the health curriculum and summary table on the last part of the memo as a health curriculum totaled 682 it thousand dollars in the firefighter and 42 and one time is he 17 in reoccurring years. >> got it we're only do a one year so the expectation that every year this will grow are

that this would capitalized to more teachers i'm assumeing it is actually, i shouldn't assume that but for training for the teachers they get once a year and set to do this piece every year or you know what is this looking like going forward and before you answer that can i ask why this didn't go to budget we wouldn't have the resolution that has the fiscal impact brought to a board meeting would you tell us undergo budget why are we having that budget discussion for the first not a huge ticket item but once we pass this presuming will be one we'll have to continue to concur every year and it didn't seem like we are totally clear on

what it is we're going to be needing to side going forward. >> happy to answer that question i've been working with staff on this resolution in my communications with staff i was told it will not a one significant budgetary impact that was not correct and once we adopt a regular process for over resolution i anticipate this kind of thing will not happen because it is supposed to happen the resolution goes to mr. steel who gets to the right staff to review because this was introduced in august and we just received this analysis tonight i agree i apologize but i think it speaks to the needs for a stricter process for how

resolutions are examined let's see commissioner mendosa-mcdonnell anything further. >> i agree there maybe differences in how resolutions come forward but i think historically we've not brought forward a resolution about the discussion of the impacts this makes me uncomfortable we're having such a big discussion we're just now talking about this not how especially on the budgets piece we've done things in the past so if staff is now telling us that has a budget interact this should have come to biggest first, i want to be clear about that you know this is again, a one year proposal and we want to see this be extended and continue but $200,000 a year presumably and

not anglo what the growth is going to be and who else meetings needs to be trained and how it will be implement in the first year? not the right way i'm uncomfortable voting on this tonight. >> and want to clarify one point recently the legislation did require some of this so whether this resolution was passed or not we'd concur those experiences; is that correct. >> yeah. that's correct president murase we noted in the first page the memo so i'm sorry, i should have mentioned before we calling your attention before the health curriculum development section so we did add a note that most of costs related to the health curriculum

the $62,000 we think lease related to curriculum for middle school and high school students that those are the subject in large part of recent enacted legislation ab i'm going to forget the actual bill title but there was an assembly bill and senate bill that was passed eased signed that go into effect in january that address some new requirement for sex education material and information about sex trafficking and sexual assault so some of the costs are new requirements i'm sure that i'm not sure that is a president

murase said those costs we're in a position to need additional staff resources for those activities >> do we know what those costs are. >> if you look at through the memo so the last page the health curriculum component of the total costs the total costs for the first year of the implementation of the resolution we estimate at one hundred $82,000 one for the staff training that is in the resolution it is calls for in the resolution and that's what we were talking about the additional new staff position to cooperate that training and others module train for staff and the second part the health curriculum that is, we estimate to costs $662,000 in this memo

broke down the components for elementary school in every case a secondary student curriculum within that $62,000 let's say roughly 2/3rd's this is a little bit of on estimate if we thought about the $62,000 reach all grade level elementary school middle and high school the state laws that were placing the requirements on district to provide curriculum to secondary grades 5 through telephone some portions of the $62,000 inform provide for anyway, the rest is not explicitly required by the new state law.

>> i have commissioner tour-sarkissian and commissioner walton. >> i also want to yeah, he actually at the meeting requiring requesting go to budget a budgetary consideration at the time of the meeting there was a conversation about we could have it at the same time as we're deliberating but i see this is basically a all around the health curriculum i'm wondering have we done in analysis how those resources cover the comfort women in incorporating it did we think we ask absorb that into the cutters budget if that's the case it's understandable, however, we'll pay the presidio to participate with us in the budget i've

wondering who are the cabo san lucas we're contracting that the 5 thousand dollars each and is cabo san lucas - the combobz cabo san lucas cbo i have a question the main question about how the money that it might take the resources to incorporate a components of comfortable women did it include that if we're in agreement for there is an opportune time to relate the two it gives us a historical context. >> so commissioners related to

turf question about the curriculum for comfort women the curriculum instruction brent stevens believes that can be developed within the existing resources and staff capacity of the c n i history curriculum offices so thankful explicitly said. >> they could absorb that okay this is a great i feel like when we ask for an update we'll ask for an update own the earth curriculum and ask about the did you want of comfortable women incorporating it into the components so that's fine hates great what into the cvs. >> i'm scanning ms. coats is here that particular answer to

that question i don't have commissioners so i believe i know that kevin truit is out of town as well. >> he's out of town that's fine we'll follow-up with that, i feel in the boards decides to pass that resolution with this current budget he can give me that answer. >> commissioner walton. >> i want to add context for commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell this is awe typical at the curriculum meeting the budget committee a was moved because labor day this resolution in terms of what is for the curriculum the budget chair was at the meager and we alexander agreed to put that with a positive recommendation depending on the budget analysis

we got to the board meeting for today like commissioner fewer statistics we have conversation tonight about the budget implementations we want to give you a little bit of context of the process but you're right a typical the conversation was had and had the budget chair in attendance that posted it forward under the guidelines. >> commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell. >> so it was my understanding the budget chair was told interest there would be no implications so she may have respond to get this moving he wanted to go back to the resolution thank you for the context i do want to get back to the resolution quickly i appreciate that this is being put forward a conversation that niece to be had our young people need to have that more and more

and our adults need to find ways to talk about this very clearly we want to appreciate that the history of comfortable women is included in it that there is a historical piece to this for me personally it is something that my 89-year-old mother has not talked about until recently and during the times she was 5 until until a teenager her father hit here with a rice budgeted whatever the trips and mothering my mother and all her sisters my mother didn't have the ability to talk about it until recently this is a conversation that sorry that my mother had with my son and my son is a senior in high

school i find it unfortunate that we haven't been able to have this conversation particularly with our boys and for him to understand the challenges that many of our women through before and during and now it is a lot to be said so i wanted to thank you dr. murase it is an important conversation to have and i think florida there is a lot of history that needs to be brought forward and a lot of recollection for the handful of women that remain not counting the hundreds of thousands that are part of this history that we have put aside for a very long time you never know which women have experienced what and until they finally have

enough nerve and settled with themselves to have this conversation what with my mom did with many i son was this summer i hope that many of our young people have an opportunity to understand better because that is an important part of our history and comfortable women are so many are my own personal heros so i'm pleased that is going to be put into in resolution he support the task force components of it i do want to see we're providing the kind of curriculum that we are committing ourselves do the budget challenge i'd like to see as parts of task force put back

for a better understanding of what this will actually take to implement i will be supporting the resolution in its current state. >> all right. before we move to vote we want to reread the amendment to make sure we're on the on the same page the second to tbe it therefore resolved. >> in terms of the task force how exactly will be completion of this amendment how will it look like we mentioned the importance the task force so would it mean that we would have to extend the budget to include for training for the task force are mean wear individually picking people from the pool of training to form the task force.

>> if i may thank you for the question student delegate report the task force will be made up of people doing the work that have knowledge of the comfortable women i think with we passed our ethics study resolution i heard strongly from the students i am hearing the truth about the history of my family of my ann stares if we don't talk about in an educational environment we talk about the task force that will be made up the people that studied this and perhaps scholars and i think that we can draw from real life experiences of people if we were to incorporate it into curriculum for example, the task force will

say our personal serious appropriate and which personal story and voices of those women are appropriate to put into this curriculum those are the people that we would work with on this task force people that have deep knowledge of subject area i don't think that we have maybe that in house deep knowledge of what happens and the true historic facts anybody we present to our students should be the truth 0 i think we'll need to call upon experts in the fields that studied this and also our curriculum folks to see what is age appropriate and what is appropriate for that this age i mean to in the language in which we express it into able to i guess also relate the experiences of those women that

were comfortable women that will be what the task force is made up of does that answer your question. >> student delegate. >> if i may it will be in the ethic studies curriculum. >> i'm going i don't think so everyone has to actually take a worlds history class that is parts of world history a ethic studies we couldn't capture all the students history class is required so i'm imagine it will be incorporated into that somewhere thank you. >> all right. no further discussion i'd like to rereaders the amendment be it therefore resolved. >> further be it resolved, that the superintendent and district staff create a task force with community experts to work in consultation to incorporate and educational components of the hefty of

comfortable women ever world war ii under the japanese military in it's curriculum to dedicate the effects for the modern day context for the purpose of preventing and protecting folks from human trafficking; is that correct ms. fewer. >> we're ready for a vote ms. casco. >> a process on the must we approve the budget separately or on this incorporating the action item was for the resolution the action item not for the budgets. >> superintendent carranza. >> yes. good question so the commissioners are approving the resolution the budgets is not necessarily for you to approve it is informational for your. >> ms. casco roll call vote. >> thank you as amended ms. chin mr. totiano ms. fewer

mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell ms. norton mr. walton ms. wynns and president murase of i's. >> thank you very much and ms. casco if you could please make sure that the vw's are authors it was an oversight thank you to the colleagues for supporting this and members of the public that came out to testify thank you. >> the next item on the agendas is item j request for speak for general matters we have several speakers (calling names). >> please come forward public comment is 2 minutes per person.

>> see it but not read it. >> sorry. >> i do have a transcript of what is on here if you like a copy i could. >> please pass the transcript to ms. casco. >> that would be great, thank you. >> if you could give it to the members okay.

>> i'll wait until you've got that i appreciate how taking the time thank you. >> so superintendmt carranza and commissioners i'm jeremy a math teacher for 12 years at lowell high school i have also been a member the blue shield health plan for the same amount of time

now i looked at you sent out the open enrollment you're familiar with the brochure 2006 and the i'm quite concerned because the blue shield's premiums have gone up 11.5 percent that's on part of the problem 93 to 97 percent of the increase has been passed there to the teacher that puts an unfair burden on us at the momentum we are on a financial precipice in san francisco i've given you specifics category one for a similar employee that is increased from 944 to 17 hundred so that's

increased by 678.82 percent for a single person that about $750 per year category 2 teacher premiums that is me employing would be person roughly 6 thousand to 76 hundred. >> that's 16g hundred dollars approximately a 23 percent yearly increase. >> that is pretty well wiped a major part of the race negotiated as i said but all the categories the sf usd premium are one hundred 38 for the

category one single teacher 78 percent for me 2 percent for you employee plus one person 23 percent there for your one .4 increase for you and the category 3 which is a family employed plus two or more 11 thousand 8 hundred to $14,000 200 that's a 20 percent yearly increase your premium the part you contribute has gone up 1 hundred and 37 that's 1.36. as i said we work for you i

feel that is unfair okay. it is completely disproportionate please i'm now open enrollment can i ask you to adjust your race for blue shield if you can't do that okay. then reopen the contracts so that blue shield members are not getting this treatment which i think is very unfair thank you very much >> thank you, sir perhaps we can refer this to the upcoming personnel meeting superintendent carranza. >> i'm sorry is there a congregation. >> it is a city negotiated agreement because the school district is under civil service

you can have a discussion but we're part of a larger negotiated priced on blue shield thank you sdmenz. >> richard. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening my name is a richard i'm san francisco residents the proud parents of a soda congratulate and district employee since 1980 i'm a strong advocate for vision zero and the california's core standards however, i'm concerned about the future of public education and it's crucial roll in our democracy i think this is fair to say we support the goals assessing access and exited and student achievement and accountability

those goals are a constant in my 35 years as we move forward not forgot area history no child left behind is a minimum impact how we taught in the elementary schools starting a george washington and taylor we encouraged the students to sole their own problems to find and manage information to organize themselves themselves into teams and tackle new challenges we give your students a chance an equal funds opportunities. an education did we make mistakes yes did we learn if our mistakes he hope so i feel we're at the crossroads as a classmate teacher i'm share those 3

questions. >> in the future how will the district recruits, prepare and remain and regard it's teachers? secondly, to evaluate and recognize students success what theoretic tools and methods to compliment and possible to plants high stakes 12 yes our students will continue to do better i'm with the superintendent carranza on that and finally therefore, be it resolved for the corporations and others that donate what we we do to put pressure on the representatives for the adequate funding we're continuing to do what we can to insure we have talented visionary teachers and rigorous schools for all our children thank you >> thank you, mr. >> thank you. next speaker, please.

>> (clapping). >> didn't go school board. >> thank you for the opportunity to speaker to you briefly i wanted to addresses some of you know i've been representing the voices of several hundred residents in current opposition to the so-called final plan for the france square feet key project i want to cover a few points and we've seebd what we believe is relevant information the boards should consider before this vote or otherwise number one there is no convince and that is because key stakeholders were clued from the process in the very beginning oversee stakeholders included homeownership's and residents

and attendance the elderly sick and people for whom english was a second language secondly, immediately adjacent residents clearly expressed their voice but disregard and third more recently a std group two members who shared the views we have those two members members were ousted from the group if so not a fair process we presented an alternatives proposal to the groibz committee we don't this they have the full opportunity to look at this proposal we urge them to do so i think that and i do said this in overwhelms to various commissioners i'll say it to all ever you i believe this issue is well beyond what you puts at this site it going to trains and

accountable ability i ask you not issue a permit or allow one without the vote from the school board. >> thank you that collects public comment for this evening thank you very much we are now on item k the advisory committee report appointment to the citizens advisory committee by the board members any appointments by the boards? seeing none, there is no additional report yes, ma'am l special orders of business none and item m others issues none tonight and n consent calendar resolution noting none and item o votes on the consent calendar. >> ms. casco roll call vote. >> you missed a card

commission you have a card there for under individuals. >> i apologize. i need a reopen public comment ms. hernandez please come forward my apologies. >> thank you for your patience and thank you very much and thank you for the opportunities to address you this evening i'm a state certified electrician and a member of local of the union in san francisco excuse me. where i serve as a

representative and compliance officer i have the responsibility of project labor agreements experience oversight for the electrical workers union on october 1st, the district san francisco unified school district announced they'll suspend general contractors subcontractor prequalification for 2016 and this has caused my organization as well as the san francisco building constructions trades council of great concern i have a couple of statements in my work as a prevailing what this and -- excuse-me. i have a cold and experience officer to have an opportunity to speak with the workers and do job interviews i want to share exerts from the workers he interviewed think school projects

matt felt his job i'll not name schools matt felt his job was a correct faulty installation he was constructed by the owner to open up a injunction box in the ceiling he was shocked and appalled to see high vogue and fire wire and cable in the same injunction box and combining those function is extremely hazardous and creates seriously compromises the communication and life safety with the association of wire and cable when matt pointed out they needed to be separated sam said the owner said no time for that

no inspections here. >> matt experienced other training and the understanding the electrical system installed by others he discovered other things and sections broken with the weight of the 60 feet because of wire that had been pulled together in the same cafe many of the floors and pictures installed have seismic safety clip and not building code they were held up the the ceiling frame human resources here's a second statement i have several more this job was a mess literally it was worse than usual but the electrical violations in the

ceiling had been installed and the injunction box when he brought the j boxed to my aspire i said it would be supported later when later they installed the tiles indicating the work with i think complete the injunction boxed were not installed correctly and in a building where kids are integrated so example like this i follow-up trying to get the inspectors reports and unfortunately, i of the not pleased with the response from the contracts folks at the district they tell me inspection don't exist at the schools i did the due diligence and got to the bottom two things won their needs to be more accountability there needs to be inspection

reports and new qualification that contract has contracts currently working in san francisco unified school district and electrical contractors it is not a pre-qualified electrical subcontractor so my organization feels strongly that this policy was required for the qualification a new run statistics not lease expand to say projects that incorporated things like know. >> i appreciate that. >> this is for the record. >> we will now proceed with the agendas we were at the consent calendar voted on the consent calendar that was there is a motion and a second ms. casco roll call vote. >> ms. chin

mr. totiano ms. fewer mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell except for item 1, 2, 3, 4 and 18 and 19. >> 4, 3, 2 , 118 and 19 mr. walton. >> ms. wynns and dr. murase. >> thanks. >> we're on item p consent calendar severed for immediate action what were two is first severed by commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell. >> thank you i pulled item 1510 k through 12 that is a retroactive action and the dates from july 2014 to june 30th, 2015, and the explanation is something i need clarity due to the

changes that the contractors and procurement found it has been set up for the 2015 funds i pulled this this is a significance amount for work that is already done from 2014. >> mr. superintendent. >> thank you, commissioners i'd like to ask dr. blanco if she could clarify. >> the department of the mental health submitted their bids late so it grant we extend them and only so much has accrues for the outstanding bills we set up this year to pay last year's bills. >> those funds were available and you had to have them set up to get paid for last year arrest where did those funds come from. >> other funds we have to

transfer in because it as grants but it is not a sufficient amount of money to pay all the bills when we think that the bills have come in to the amount we'll use the money to pay others mental health costs for the schools so those bills came a after the fact and not until october and i guess what i'm trying to upstairs we have stated funds we had fund but not sufficient we had to have funds come from other places that safer the looins we paid for services that were rendered previously with funds that we maternity have so my concerns we

didn't have the funds the services were provided and now we're looking for the money so if you're telling me we have the money we had to set is aside we knew the services would be provided and paid for it mates e that's one thing if you're telling me the services were provided we have to look for the funds and take the money from other places because we didn't pay the bills if 2014 or september when they came in then he just want to understand that because this is my worry we have services that are provided to us without the funds in place in order to pay for them. >> those are educational mental health services we pay them with non-public schools and

for children that wouldn't be inevitable in medi-cal so this is generally the way it works to send us the bills in the best case scenario we would have use the money from other places but our bills for services we search warrant would have had to be more responsible. >> what happens to this year's bills and where are the funds to make sure we take care of those bills i i don't imagine this will be different. >> we're going to make surely they have the bills in a knows manner. >> let's see commissioner fewer has in the item sound proof. >> this is a want to let you

know this is fabulous my concern i didn't see anything attached the support plan calls for a couple of things a third party consultant i'm wondering are we observing that in the it funding or an additional costs at the this year's budget cycle. >> hi good evening thank you any additional costs for support whether if so the third party support for data congratulation it's been factored into the current it budgets. >> the support plan the it project manager and teacher traimg e training and white-glove service do we have a fiscal analysis how much did it costs if you don't have it

figure now i assume you've got to money for it and nothing will be retroactive i think that then that is fine but if we could get a fiscal analysis for us to anticipate this thank you very much. >> so colleagues i'm doing everything i can i'd like to take both sound proof item together roll call. >> with the items that commissioner fewer sound proof page 42. >> that this 42. >> b-9 is that b-9 okay. thank you so b-9 and k through 12.

apartments an affordable housing complex i'm here to assure folks in mid-attain residents will be demands nor have that he been in the last two years the mayor's office of housing and mercy to stabilize the structure to make it stave is a fair market value for residents including $500,000 this year alone in repairs over the past 9 years the city priorities middle attain collection with over $4.5 million in much needed sxal funds my goal has always been to keep the current reliance in their home and make rents adjustment in a fair and reasonable manner and to provides enough rental income for mid attain to stabilize the building and

operations that is important to keep it affordable and protect leona helmsley of affordable housing in any detect and throughout the city sadly month was residence are paying 50 percent higher on their hours it is affordable housing and is regulated by the federal government through hud it is important to know that the mid attain complex suffers from 40 years of defenders maintenance caused by insufficient rental revenue and poor management. >> the overall network the project is one of the causes of the building extreme disrepair without restructuring the building that will cost the losses of affordable housing it began in 2034 and continued to

april 17th work 2015 here are some of the finding there are extremely low income and low income households which subsidies higher in case hourly by passerby well over thirty percent of their income and rents higher income folks pay less than two and 15 and less than 10 percent of their income in rent so for a breakdown this is what is happening with the households as a result of the work done itself by the maechlz 28 households see a residence reductions holders were you paying 32 to 788 percent of their income for rents most of residents were steel low income seniors that have money for food and everyday acceptance two hourly inform change and 49

households see an increase of under one hundreds dollars a month to be clear all increases p will happen over a 5 year periods those ranges from 12 to 60 percent of ami 21 hours see an increase of hundred to $200 a month over years and two he households over the next 5 years and this is ultimately to get to thirty percent holders network 10 hourly will see an increase of 4 hundred to seven hundred a month over the years and just to be clear those 10 hourly basically, their households incomes range from hundred and 200 and 14 percent of ami that typically didn't qualify for affordable housing 7 hourltz to

market-rate they were either found non-cliept or unresponsive to income certification unfortunately, a if i people were take advantage of the housing others midtown they sub lived their units making money from their units excluding putting their units on airbnb and is residents that owned a home in another city i sympathy emphasize with the rents increase i worked with the maechlz to allow 5 years for everyone to get to thirty percent of their income even for residents maxwell over hundred thousand dollars a year none will be remembered froefrmd their units since mark residents have been attending financial

planning working groups by the conducted pie mercercy housing and is 345i6 mayor's office of housing will continue to submit the development by providing 200 thousands a year to cover the operating costs and was work towards stabilizing the building and the district supervisor i'm dedicating to protecting the long term residents with the affordable housing but everyone has to a pay their ferry have a meeting scheduled with the residents of midtown and mercy housing to discuss issues i've always said to anyone that lives in mid-town my door is always open and happy to meet with them colleagues besides that i have two items to introduce the first is a planning code

change to allow certain businesses in the fillmore commercial transit or is mexican t d this board amazing supported in legislation earlier this year i thank my colleagues for that the legislation i'm introducing today will make a small change allowing a business and building of 3 or more stories to delay a vertical sign higher than what is currently allowed loose not trevor with this features or rise above the residential windows are above the roof lien or three hundred feet only a handful of businesses the adu's tomorrow for entertainment this legislation will allow the auditorium to pride signage more appropriated for the size and scale of its building ass as

well as the location in the days ever upper redevelopments the geary expressway gifted the japantown neighborhoods in a recurrentless efforts to funnel many cars having a large signage will help to simplify japantown as more than that places it pass but by a cultural designation and that will less than to visible and symbolizing bridge the gap creates by the geary expressway a large sign for the fillmore auditorium will help how the castro theatre has branded the castro my second item today is to introduce a drafting request supervisor cowen and i will be introducing a drafting request

to the da and controller to draft legislation that will create a permanent city reward fund to compensates those who provides information leading to and arresting and conviction in any unsolved murder case in san francisco. >> in the parts 6 years san francisco has average about 50 homes per year each a strategy a loss of a sister or father a friend each should not have happened and deserve every effort for justice we're according to most metrics the wealth it big or smallest city with that wealth comes obligations for everyone that has been given much, much will be demanded when it comes to the worse crime our city faces we should put our wealth to use to help the families of the victims

and get the most violate offenders over the streets the city has at times offered rewards but it does so at an a.d. o ad hoc no funds or process this could lead to the prospective that some lives are more important than others that's not the case i'm proposing a permanent city funds to provide awards up to $250,000 to anyone that brings information that leads to the arresting and conviction in an unsolved murder case the legislation will establish specific criteria because in many cases our police department solves the cases without a need for an awards the funds should think limited to homicide cases that have gone unsolved with the police had exhausted the leads

and for which the police chief has in his or her determination that a with regard is necessary it should be subject to the annual appropriations for years carrying forward and all this requires a small amount of taxpayer money thankfully we're talking about a small number of cases but in those cases we should be doing everything we can and in those cases this ward a or regard can make a difference san francisco has an regard fund of the do. please note: any of the members may speak without taking and deals with people pulling fire alarms if fire alarms, we can surely do it to solve murders. >> thank you, madam president. supervisor kim is asking to be

rereferred. >>supervisor london breed: actually supervisor cohen would like to speak to my last item. >>supervisor malia cohen: as we continue to develop this legislation, i hope we will have your support. i think it's critical that we have watched mothers come to the chamber to sit for 2 hours to ask, beg and plead for assistance. it's a small gesture that we can begin to help heal not only the families that have been torn by acts of violence but bring a human touch to how we address crime in our city and in our county. i hope once this legislation is written and finalized that we will have full support from all 11 members on this legislation so we can send a

powerful message not only to the public, but to the mothers in particular who have suffered a great loss and who continue to suffer and hopefully our efforts will be to help them bring them, i don't want to say closure, but settle their mind and bring some peace so they understand that law enforcement is working on all sides for everyone. i think it's incredibly important for us to remember that justice should swing both ways. thank you. city clerk: thank you. supervisor avalos? >>supervisor john avalos: thank you, madam clerk. i want to thank supervisor breed and cohen on this and i would like to be a sponsor. >> thank you, supervisor avalos. >> city clerk: madam president,

supervisor would like to be recognized. >> with that we'll go to public comment. city clerk: at this time the public may now address the entire board of supervisors for up to 2 minutes on items within the jurisdiction of the board without reference to items 1-50 where items have been previously been satisfied. direct your remarks as a whole, not to individual supervisors nor to the audience. speakers use is interpretation assistance will be allowed twice the amount to testify. if you would like documents to be portrayed on the project or please state this. >>supervisor london breed: first speaker please. public speaker: two songs.

[singing] >>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker please. public speaker: my name is christopher

dall. to symbolism on my shirt. in the center is an equal sign that indicates balance between one side and the other. a state of equality. it's a symbol of the carbon upload. all the carbon dioxide that point in our common air. down arrow is a form of carbon dioxide that the plant life of our world pulls down out of our common air. it's the carbon download of the planet and this upload that is balanced. there is 2 words that can be read as carbon balanced or balanced carbon. it's meaningful in both ways. the silver on blue symbolizes the breakup and disappearance of the north polar ice cap. we have been out of balance for a long time. the glacial records show

that accumulated atmospheric carbon overload in the atmosphere minus the amount of carbon sequestered has been going up for the last 10,000 years. to avoid any possibility of dreadful and disastrous climate predictions is to balance our carbon upload with carbon download. this requires enough fresh water to irrigate an empty desert to grow trees to grow carbon out of the air permanently. if we balance our current carbon account, mother nature will handle our historical overload. thank you, president barack -- president breed? public speaker: hello, i want to show this little short video

>> is it working? we'll take the next speaker and make sure it's working. next speaker, please. public speaker: madam board of supervisors, dear supervisor tang. on september 30th, an article appeared announcing affordable housing legislation sponsored by yourself and mayor lee. there is a group of 40 plus san francisco resident, we applaud your effort to ensure that affordable housing remain at the top of your list of priorities. as you are aware, long time residents of san francisco who reside at midtown park apartments are facing displace many from our homes. many would qualify for the housing to be built by 2020 per the new legislation. unfortunately,

however a number of families could be displaced within coming days with no place to live in this world class city who promise to keep san francisco a city of everyone to find themselves among the moem -- homeless population you currently seek to house. the city hall was once a midtown parks apartment resident. many families are in the midst of displacement where middle class housing is occurring. the five initiatives contapt -- contained in the new legislation, expiring of affordable units and no tenants in units are displaced. part of this effort is to propose a legislation that would strengthen the city's

legislation tools. affordable housing with sponsors and housing and community development will prohibit the kinds of agreement and culmination after 30 years. as it relates to tound apartment. >>supervisor london breed: thank you. i'm sorry, your time is up. [video] public speaker: can you talk to me. we've been standing outside of city hall for the longest trying to

get your attention. mayor lee, don't ignore us. that's not fair. we lost our children to homicide. why i'm saying that, my name is paul it brown and my son was murdered august 14, 2006. i have been out here, i have been to mayor willie brown and newsom and now the honorable mayor lee. i was very embarrassed that day. i want ed lee that i'm not going to bite you. all i want to do is let you know the pain is is still going on with mothers like myself. we want to put our pictures, we want a memorial and our children's pictures the same way that you are giving everybody else, sandy hook and domestic violence people. they

are honored to put their pictures on the bus. i'm not asking to put the pictures on the bus. this is what i have left of my son. this is what is going to on today with the murders on the streets to senseless violence. everybody knows who murdered my son. thomas hannibal, paris moffat, andrew videau, jason thomas. they were all out there when my son was murdered. i fight for other mothers and fathers. the mayor said i know who killed your son. how long do we have to grieve? i have been doing this for 9 years. the pain is still the same. no one should walk away from us. we are not going to hurt anybody. we can speak for our children better than anyone else.

>> thank you, next speaker, please. public speaker: good afternoon, everybody. san francisco has a long history of displace ment. i have lost my home and they promise equity and unfortunately a decade long work towards at a goal that began in 1995 and directors and in 2007 with your legislative body has been put to a halt. now, many folks facing gentrification for the third time. with increase or promise of evictions from the mayor's office of housing. if i may have the

overhead, please. thank you. now, these evictions they will commence october 12th, black on white. it says so there. if you do not sign your new lease it may become a public housing development. you will be evicted. we do face the largest flight of our eviction of residents. ten families already pushed out by the actions of mow and mercy. how many more have to leave. thank you very much for your time. i appreciate it. >> thank you, next speaker, please. public speaker: i will keep this brief. the board has a resolution in midtown

to give people the at some point to own their apartment complex. if this is disregarded along with the board of the eastern neighborhoods plan, then i'm not sure how you can persuade many residents that you are taking this seriously. >>supervisor london breed: thank you very much. next speaker, please. public speaker: i'm also here in part of the midtown tenant apartments. i'm doing a research project on their history and learned a tremendous amount about their history, their survival of redevelopment. midtown originated in 1969 as relocation housing. they are still owed quite a bit by the city and that doesn't seem to be forthcoming even though in 2007, the board of supervisors pledged that no resident in midtown would face displace

ment. they are also receiving displacement in 2007 the board of supervisors pledged that it would work in towards ownership. i don't see why we are working in the opposite direction from ownership. where the pledge is from the board of supervisors to continue to working with midtown residents for full ownership for their properties which in my opinion they are owed over many decades. some of these people had family members that owned victorians that were demolished in the 1960s. the least they can have now is ownership of their apartments. thank you. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker, please.

public speaker: hello, my name is andres. i'm here to support midtown housing. many of the people were evicted already from the fillmore and now these homes are worth quite a bit. after they were promised to have some now they are being lifted. it was promised to them if they did that in 2007 there would be some movement towards ownership. i would like to remind the people here that they have a certain duty to make good on the words they said. these words can't just be idol. thank you. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker please. public speaker: richard stone, san francisco party of county

council. a san francisco resident here to support midtown residents. i would like to thank eric mar in light of their testimony and shows that it's paid on both in terms of the activism that spoke of in light of many people that i know that on facebook just last week i had to talk down from a suicide attempt because he had been recently become homeless himself. and just seeing something like this happen on such a bad scale when we know that other remedies can actually be done. we certainly hope that in light

that is happening in the promise that supervisor breed make that will work in midtown. i hope that everything will be done in good faith. thank you for your time. >> thank you. next speaker, please. public speaker: hello, i'm here also to speak in support of midtown residents. i hope their questions will be answered and i hope they get a lease that is fair given the long context of displacement in that area and what they are owed by the city and in the context of san francisco's rising displacement. i think we need to consider the

many forms that displacement can take. it makes sense to talk about paying for one's share but we need to look at different ways that people can be displaced and the effect that this outcome will have. public speaker: good afternoon. i'm a 25 resident of midtown. we want ownership. madam president, today is the first time that you are willing to sit down to talk to us. we are so very happy because we've been trying for at least the last 3 months. thank you.

>>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker, please. public speaker: hello, i'm sylvia johnson. i have been going to court on these proceedings. i think we need to produce better things. or housing in 2006. there is no way that they did not accept that housing. built a good foundation.

because of my eye sight. i can't see very well. i have been going to school. our house is more important and all these people that are living on the streets. i think they are a bunch of things especially that helps cure cancer, cure all kinds of diseases. it's been our whole life. we need to put more steady housing instead of running people out of housing. this is a ridiculous way that it's doing to our society. this change and what we need in

the world to go and do new ways of living. >>supervisor london breed: thank you very much. next speaker please. public speaker: the united states is only fascist terrorist country who evict 85 years old people. united states concentration camp from new york to los angeles and san francisco only this country. today -- today board of supervisors on

the streets eating from the garbage can, sleeping on the floor. how such a country who spend so much money for this. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker, please. public speaker: my name is --

madam president, supervisors, tenderloin activist north of market. i do appreciate the work of barbara taylor. she presented here information on am radio, a low tech methodology which doesn't require a lot of money. it's environmentally friendly. but in any audio visual representation by any information is transmitted by the audio signal alone. a trillion dollars worth of satellites could fall out of sky and am radio would still be working. it's a possibility. unfortunately. i appreciate what she said about her dad going to school. it's common in our generation. there was a lot of narrative that there was a lot

of children of the war generation rejected their values and didn't want to find a war and beliefs. one of the signs of aging and process is you get to see more complexity in life, when they got the gi bill from roosevelt they created the state college system and higher education system that my generation benefited from. they are the first wave of my own generation. it was much more complex than it was presented. i think the pendulum swings and a lot of speakers are in the middle. we are in a big pendulum swing now and things are changing. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker, please.

public speaker: tom gilberte. water under the bridge last week here, recology. i presume the trucks are going to make a return, four trucks an hour. 600,000 miles extra driving. now, 2015, in california, there is no water under the bridge. the carolinas there is a thousand year flood. climate change, climate wobbles. 5 million tons of diesel, soot and carbon. it's not in the direction we need to go. water under the

bridge. more tons of soot and carbon. it's not where we want to go. okay, last week, part 5 of the five part housing plan. we got resident condos for rental units. we got 30% market rate. the other percent, if you lived in an area for 30 years in a local zip code, these homes are for you. the next 15% if you lived in the area and you are a 20-year resident, these homes are for you. that's 25 homes local zip code.

next 5% if you are a 30-year resident in san francisco, a zip code, that's for you. the next 10%. >>supervisor london breed: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> my name is debra benedict. a resident of 75 door street. i'm a disabled person who recently had my service animal run over by a speeding san francisco police car. this is a photograph here of my dog before cremation and i have put in a submissions for traffic calming treatments on my street at the top and bottom because cars race onto it off of howard street and folsom

street. i would also since pedestrian safety is up, i would really love to find out how to put a flashing light in the middle of the street because literally people are on four lane, one lane streets around my block and they cut through racing all the time. people have videos of the vehicle racing and there are children and seniors and other people living in my apartment building. another dog was hit by a car and blinded. i don't want to hear about children or elderly people being hit. this officer was just dropping off someone at the no. 52 a du across the street and there was zero reason for him to be speeding. i'm be rift because of the loss of my service animal and i would

really like to improve the safety on the street where i live because danger exist everyday. thank you. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker. public speaker: i would like to put this commentary on the tv. it took matthew henry 40 years to write his commentary in the bible. there is two guys in the testament who got what they wanted. it was solomon, he was the king and he asked for wisdom and elijah was wiser than him so he could speak to the lord. what would you say if god said you can have what you want? god told moses he was going to kill everybody in israel and start over with him. he did that with him instead of

elijah because although elijah was saved he wasn't the type of christ as moses was and he died on the cross for our sins and he knew moses was going to ask for forgiveness. if he asked elijah he would have asked for his wife. he asked solomon who asked for wisdom and specifically because you did not ask me to kill your enemies, i'm going to give you riches and you are going to be like no other king in all of israel. eventually truth is going to come out. god is a god of truth and jesus said, hear my voice. i called saturday and asked him to interview jones. he said no, that's national

security. i'm hoping that rush limbaugh, glen beckon knew will follow the lead. by the way, alex jones. it's a big story. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker, please. no other speakers, are there any other members who would like to provide public comment at this time, seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk can we go back to roll call for introductions. i would recognize supervisor kim. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you. first is to establish the warriors center and advisory committee. also what we are entitle will the mission bay.

this is $14.1 million additional net tax generated for the war era. beyond for affordable housing and parks and mission structure. what is being proposed by the mayor's office and my office to establish a fund which will set aside $10 million annually to ensure we are properly mitigating by the near arena joining our stadium. the annual operating cost. the fund will be there to be available for annual operating cost for sf mta, sf p.d. and dpw to dramatically improve the third service line for events. provide additional 28 parking for officers and to ensure traffic flow on

evenings and daytimes. debt service for capital improvement to ensure new light rail vehicles and for the mini metro to allow more attendees to deploy on the site and to reserve augment service on days with overlapping events at the proposed arena and at & t ballpark. i want to be careful to emphasize that this proposed legislation will follow approval of the proposed project that is currently before ocii and the board of supervisors, 100% project on private land. this established the major improvement advisory committee in the mission bay including the warriors, uc sf and representatives of district 6 office. i

want to acknowledge the nine other members of the board of supervisors, president breed, mar, tang, wiener and farrell and yee. i would like to continue this discussion to ensure as we bring another major arena to this city, a prospect that many are excited for that we are investing in the infrastructure needed to ensure our city can handle major events and additional needs for services. my second item is in relation to a new bill signed by governor brown and it's impact here potentially here in san francisco. as many of you remember on june 7, 2011. this board unanimously approved the treasure island disposition and development agreement. this project would create 8,000

units of housing. while the original deal committed 30% of housing for low income and homeless in san francisco was brought forth by the governor to disolve the redevelopment agency. the treasure island development authority quickly recalibrated it's structure to the city department and commitment of affordable units to 25%. i made a personal commitment that if state law were to change, i would work to ensure that san francisco would recommit to 30% on the affordable goal on the island. further on the last negotiation we were able to make two amendments to the dda with the developer. one to increase the percentage of affordable units to 25% regardless of any change this state law and second allowing for increase to 30% should there be a state law changed

within 5 years. supervisors avalos and cohen and wiener joined me to assembly to amend states law to utilize tax increment to building 30% affordable housing. ultimately we were not successful in showing the inclusion of treasure island in ab 664. but recently we have had great news. on september 22nd, governor brown signed ab 2 for the state of california. this measure allows for public agencies and schools to establish and revitalize and specify disadvantaged communities including communities of crime,

unemployment rate and former military bases. this measure will also draft the documented lack of affordable housing that no funds generated would be set aside for affordable housing. this will take affect on january 2016. according to the dda, inquiring state law will come up in june of 2016. i'm calling upon the treasure island development authority board of directors to establish explore impact on treasure island and to develop recommendations to recapture the 2.5% of housing which was promised in 2011 and examine whether we can establish 40% of affordable housing on treasure island. i want to thank the

board of directors who have committed to working with our office to see if we can establish this 40% baseline. we see treasure island as the first community that will benefit this legislation. we should follow the giants and the ports lead of building 40% affordable and middle income housing and which is on the ballot for november requesting that any housing built on public land have a minimum of 30% affordable housing, 50% with middle income and the precedent that we are starting to set in our office to ensure that 40 is the new 30. a city where the brookins institution has recently found that income disparity is is growing faster than in any other city and where data from our own service agency with a

widening gap. that figures showing for every 1,000 person in san francisco that 7.3 are worth a million like places like new york and washington d.c.. and san franciscans living in poverty has increased from 2007-2012. and with the wealth disparity illuminating the rapidly shrinking middle class declining over 10% over the same number of years. i think we as a city need to make a stronger commitment to ensuring that we are building as much affordable and middle income housing as possible. one of the plans is to do that and with the recent passage of the state

law, i'm directing the board and staff to see if we can establish a baseline for treasure island. i'm also requesting the planning department and mayor's office of housing explore a full range beyond treasure island that may qualify from the benefits on ab 2. the rest i submit. >>supervisor london breed: thank you. madam clerk, can we go to our 3:00 p.m. special order? city clerk: yes madam clerk, items 36-38 comprise the special order for a public hearing for persons interested in the public works decision dated september 18, 2014, for a tentative map for a new construction located at 289

not have a budget analyst report on this. so move on to budget comment. anybody wish to comment on item one? >> okay, seeing none, public comment is closed. >> thank you. >> thanks for coming before us. >> and supervisor tang? >> all right, well i am happy to move this forward. i know that this is something that we consistently participate in and so, i would be happy to move this forward with a positive recommendation for the full board. >> we have a motion by supervisor tang and we can take that without objection. >> could you call item two, please? >> i want to note that item 150945 was recommended to the full board with supervisor mar absent. >> next, item two, resolution approving an amendment to the agreement of the department of public health and the bay view hunters point foundation, of the community improvement and increasing by 17 million for a total of 46 million. >> okay, thanks and i know that

we have dph here to speak. >> perfect timing. hi, i'm michelle rukels public health department. and so, we are in agreement with the recommendations, by the budget analyst office. this is a long standing contract that provides mental health substance abuse and within substance abuse methadone services so we don't want to have a break in services while we are completing the process of determining the best service mix to meet the requirements of the affordable care act and then a recent federal waiver that was given to california with respect to how the substance abuse services are organized. >> okay. thank you very much. >> i see no questions, mr. rose, sorry supervisor, taning? >> thank you. i don't see any problems with this particular resolution. but i just wanted to see if you might also talk a little bit more high level in terms of you

know the changes coming under with the aca. i know that we are granting your extension to figure out how some of the local programs can operate, given some of the changes with the aca. and so i don't know if you want to speak about the efforts in that. >> so the department of public health spent a couple of years, more than than and it is ongoing. and we are configuring our civil services in order to create, the san francisco health network, which is an integrated service, delivery system. so that you could choose the health network as your provider, and your delivery system. and so although the work was very much internal. and but we have over 250 million dollars worth of contract services, and so now we are doing, that process, to see how those services can best support the civil service clinics and specifically the

primary care clinics. so we are doing focus groups. and we know what some of the, and we know that there are specific requirements, for example, under aca. eventually, you will be, reimbursed, based on out comes that will not just be on the number of units delivered. and we have to do, utilization review and there is a lot of case management and care coordination, that we don't have the capacity within just the civil service to insure that that is spread throughout the system, but we want everyone to have care management. so how do we best utilize the contract agencies, and to do that, and what does it mean in terms of changing definitions? changing requirements? and changing maybe, where services are provided. and maybe right now, it is in their own site, but maybe they will be providing groups on sight and in the primary care so that the people don't get lost, as at the get a referral

out. and then the state wave, it is a federal waiver that the state of california provided to change how the substance abuse services are delivered. they are trying to achieve parody and insure that the services are stream lined and coordinated. so we are becoming a substance abuse plan. like we have a mental health plan as well. so i don't know, if that. >> and i appreciate just, again, very high level of review. kind whaf is to come. and understand that we have to approve thesing extensions so that we can continue to figure it out. >> and also, i will just say you will be getting in the next month, a whole bunch of them. the extension is the outside. we believe that we will have rfps going through the process but we don't know which order, which the outside date. >> great, thank you so much for that. >> okay, mr. rose, could we go

to your report please? >> yes. mr. chairman, members of the committee on page, 3 of our report, we note that based on the actual and projected expenditures from july, first to 2010, to 2017, requested not-to-exceed amount of 46.4 million should be reduced by 4 million, to a total amount of the amount of $41,647,000 and that is on table two of the sxrpt so the recommendations on the bottom of page 4 is to amend the proposed recommendation to reduce the not-to-exceed amount by 4 million. and we recommend that you approve this proposed resolution as amended. >> thank you very much, nr rose. seeing no questions, we will move on to public comment. >> anybody wish to comment on item two?

>> (inaudible) >> okay, and anybody else wish to comment on item number two? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. okay we have a recommendation by the budget analyst to reduce the not-to-exceed amount. >> yeah, through the chair we make a motion to accept the budget, and to send forward to

the full board with the positive recommendation. >> we have a motion by supervisor tang and take that without objection. >> that motion is passed with supervisor mar being absent today. >> and okay, mr. clerk, could you please call item number three? >> item three, resolution approving the amended and restated memo of understanding with the metropolitan transportation commission, and other bay area transit agents for the future governor ans and operation of the cliper program through june of 2025. >> thank you very much, and have anybody to speak on this item. >> good morning, and diana sfmta the item before you revises the current memo of understanding between the transportation and the 21 par participating transit agencies in the cliper fair payment system. includes, revisions to the cost allocations and 2.1 million in credit card and banking fees

for the cliper purchases, at the ticket vending machines that are absorbed by the agencies, the most significant chance, is the establishment of the eight member, executive board, including representatives from eight agency and mtc. and it will be responsible for evaluating performance goals and a work plan and a budget and the approval of all matters suspected to have a fiscal operating impact. under the current mlu and retains, sole authority for all of these. >> it comes for the region to develop the requirements for the next generation, cliper system and will enhance the agencis in this planning process and i am happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor, tang. >> thank you very much. >> over all, i do agree with this change. i wanted to see if you can speak a little bit to the additional cost that mta will

be absorbing because of this change? so roughly 730,000 and if you could explain a little bit about, why there is this increase? >> yes. so as a mentioned the majority of that cost, is approximately, $700,000 a year, comes from the inclusion of bart and bta, credit card and banking fees. that are associated with their ticket vending machine, purchases for cliper. currently, the mta, our costs for these, at our ticket vending machines in the metro vending machines were already allocated because they were purchased as part of the contract and bta and bart because they added those to the existing tbm and those are operating on the separate gateway and for the gateway, they agree that the costs because they are regional costs because they will be allocated accordingly. and approximately, the $30,000 of the other part of that

increase, comes from the agencies agreement to pay a portion of the cliper executive director's position. this is an mtc, position. currently, but, the mlu, allows for that to change at any time that the executive board is interested in making that change. and that reflects about 50 percent of the salary. and then, mtcs, i am sorry, sfmta 33 percent allocation that have cost. >> thank you. >> and you know, over all, i really agree with the establishing the executive board, that takes more into consideration, all of the various agencies. and i mean, that i know that there are many more that participate and use cliper. but in terms of having it broader than just the mtc, i think that it is actually a really good idea. and this particular mlu, would be extended until, 2025, if approved today. and so i am wondering if you could speak a little bit about, you know, with the up coming potential changes in technology and how it is that we can

continue to create a better service and experience for customers that what is this new mlu agreement allow for and how does it effect to achieve that. >> sure. so the mlu itself is extending to 2025, the current contract with cubic transportation systems the contract holder for cliper, expires in 2019. so, really those two piece to this mlu, one is the government's portion, which i mentioned establishes an executive board and provides a process for the decision making. and it was the interest of the transit agencies and the mtc to insure that continues passed who ever is the vendor, for the new contract, that is going to be awarded. the appendix b, which is the cost allocation, form law is tied to the current contract with cubit and so it is understood by all of the parties that even though the

mlu terms to 2025, we will have to come back to the board of supervisors when the contract is awarded because the changes to the appendix b will require additional approval. >> not so much a question, but i do like that it includes the performance standards, with the goals of ex-expanding the electronic payment to all modes of transportation and enhance, access to the customers for the value which i know that we discussed yesterday, about how customers would like to, if they are loading funding on to the card, on-line. if they can do so. and see it, immediately? and establishing consistent fare category and discounts and improving the operation, integration for the system. and i am glad that all of that is in this current mlu. actually kind of surprised that was not in the current one, i am sure that we are learning from the past experiences and making it better for the future. and so, again, over all, and i

am very supportive of this, and i want to see how we can continue to improve the customer experience, using clip , or whatever else is to come. >> colleagues, okay, any more questions? >> seeing none, could we go to your report on item three. >> yes, mr. chairman and members of the committee, on the bottom of the report, we note that the cliper administrative cost paid by the mta from the fiscal 2011, to 14, was 14 million and and under the proposed third amendment, the mta estimates that they are sure of the cliper program, and the administrative costs will increase by 2.4 million or from 28.1 million to 30.5 million. and that is over the period for july, first 2015, through june, 30, 2019 and, that is shown in table two on page nine of our report and we recommend that you approve this resolution. >> thank you very much, mr.

rose. colleagues, no other questions, and we will move on to public comment and anybody wish to comment on three. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> supervisor tang? >> all right, take a motion then to approve this resolution, and send it forward with a positive recommendation to the full board. >> okay, a motion by supervisor tang and we can take that without objection. >> mr. clerk, could you call item four? >> item four, resolution approving the issuance of the bonds, in the amount not-to-exceed, $7 million to finance and refinance, various capitol facilities owned by the mission resources center llc. >> okay. good morning, thank you for considering the item today, my name is vetty from the controller's office and also, here, in case you have any questions on the project, i have caroline from the mission, economic development agency. representing the applicant. just to give you a background on the proposed issuance that the tax equity and fiscal

responsibility act allows the tax exemption of interest on the certain types of debt issued through the california, enterprise, development authority, which is the joint, powers authority to which the city and county of san francisco is a participating member, the authorities are authorized to issue the bonds and debt. and the federal tax law, requires that the governing body of the jurisdiction in which the project is located approve the financing, and the project. and after providing the opportunity for dually noticed public hearing before the bonds can be issued on a tax exempt basis. in this case, in the city of san francisco is not obligated for the payments on the bonds and so therefore the approval will no fiscal impact on the city of san francisco. the hearing notices in the san francisco examiner, and the public hearing was held at the office of public finance here at city hall on september third, and no comments from the members of the public were heard. and the purpose of these bonds,

in the amount not-to-exceed, $7 million, is to finance and refinance, the cost of acquisition and rehabilitation and improvement, and installation of equipping of the real property and improvements at 2301, mission street, in san francisco, and 21,000, multistory commercial building and which is known as the facilities in the legislation. and to pay accountser certain costs with the obligations. these will be owned by the borrower and leased by the agency which is a non-profit public benefit corporation, 501 c3, organization whose mission is to achieve economic justice, for san francisco's low and moderate income families supporting the individuals and families develop and accumulate and machine, the personal and the material assets. mission economic development agency has been in san francisco, since 1973, and the community, and economic development corporation, located in the mission district.

and they help the families open, and improve the small businesses and purchase the homes and prevent, foreclosure and both the credit and savings, and access technology and find sustaining jobs and the works improve, the economic, and social conditions for the san francisco low and moderate residents with primarily, latino families as the constituents and the project is located in 69 and the legislation is sponsored by campos. >> do you have any questions. >> any questions on item four? >> okay. we have no budget, analyst report and so we will move on to public comment, does anybody wish to comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> colleagues could i have a motion to move this forward. >> we move it forward. >> motioned by supervisor mar and we can take that without objection. >> could you call item five. >> resolution, approving three emergency public works contracts with the services,

and alta, and sierra, detentions to design and upgrade the electronic security system for the county jails number 1 and 2, with the total contracts not-to-exceed, 1,116,047. >> okay, thanks. dpw here? >> good morning, public works and the contract administrations i just want to say that we agree with the budget analyst recommendation, if you have any questions, i would be happy to answer. >> i guess, i just have one question. we got this about nine months later. so look, in opposition, here, we are stuck with this and it has been done and we are very much backed into the corner and it is not that these things don't occur. but 9 months later. could you --. >> yeah, we realize that this has happened more than once in the past year. and to be honest, there is a new code requirement in chapter 6 that we are required to report to the board within 60 days. and when these and other emergencies happen in the past year, to be fully honest, for

the department is more concerned with geting the work engaging the contractors and negotiating the prices performing the work, and it was not a consideration for us to turn around and report to the board, we realize that was an error and, we fully agree with the new policy and the new law. and we have committed to meeting that 60 day, and exceeding and bettering that requirement. it is just when these contract and this is the last of athlete that we have had in the past year, when these krts were issued that was not a requirement of law. >> okay. >> i am hearing from you that this is the last one that we will see. >> okay. >> i will take that. >> okay. >> supervisor taning. >> i am not sure if this is a question for you or someone from the sheriff's department, but it appears that the incident had occurred, in august of 2014. the work was completed one year later in 2015. and so i am just wondering what happened during that time frame then? were there no security cameras

in the jails one and two. >> no, the sheriff's maintenance staff, as soon as the failure occurred back in august of 2014, they did do some minor repairs just to get it, a radio shack solution to get the basic functionality, but it was not fully compliant with the state and federal codes, which is why the public works is engaged to do a more comprehensive repair and so we declared that the emergency in november of 2014 and issued a notice to proceed right away. since november, the work has been ongoing. and we did wrap it all up in august of this past 2015. >> okay. thank you. >> okay, thanks very much, mr. rose, your report on item five? >> yes on page 13 of the report and table one, and that shows a break down of the total contract costs of $1 million, 116,047 and that is for the

full design, and repair and upgrade as well as providing the related support services for the electronic security systems, at the jails, one and two. and on the bottom of page, 13. we know that subsequent to this subject and emergency as you know and it has been discussed the board of supervisors approved at mendments requiring the emergency, contracts effective on august, first, 2015. that is when the board approved that, and legislation and, if the estimated cost of the emergency exceeds, $250,000, now the proposed resolutions approving the determinations must be submitted to the board within 60 days. on page 14 of our report, we note that the electronic and security systems in jails, 1 and 2, failed on august, 11, 2014, and the emergencies were declared on the 21st, and as was stated here this morning,

the legislation, is not submitted for the board for over, 9 months. this is, we note that this is the third emergency resolution, in the past year, that was delayed, due to the misunderstandings on the part of other city department and agencies regarding who has jurisdiction for declaring the emergency and for procuring the emergency, necessary contracts and so we made a recommendation on the bottom of page 14, where we recommend that you amend, the proposed resolution to urge the department of public works to work with the city attorney's office to immediately issue a memo to all of the city departments under the jurisdiction, regarding the specific procedures to follow, and if an emergency arrives in the future and we recommend that you approve the resolution as amended. >> thank you very much. >> and any further questions? >> okay, we will move on to public comment, on item 5, anybody wish to comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> chair, all right, so i think

that chair farrell made his points clear as well as the budget analyst. and so i would like to accept that recommendation, that the city attorney office issues the memo, so that all city departments are clear on the procedures. for the future. and then adopt the amended resolution, to with the positive recommendation to the full board. >> okay. >> thank you, we have a motion by supervisor tang and we can take that without objection. >> okay. >> sorry, the budget analyst, the deputy, and the budget analyst recommendation is that the dpw work with the office to craft a memo that will go out from dpw to the all of the departments about the process. and so, just wanted to make sure that that is your intent. >> yes tha, is. thank you. >> thank you for the clarification. >> all right. >> it will be providing the revised legislation to me? >> the public works. >> i will need that by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. >> understood. >> thank you. >> mr. clerk, could you call

meeting we should have had odd for the oversight committee october 15, 2015 i'm yee, the chairman and to my right is supervisor -- we would like to acknowledge the staff at sgtv, jim smith and leo who

record each of our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online. before we get started, colleague, can i get a motion to excuse the supervisor christensen who won't be able to come to this meeting today. >> yes. >> no objection, the motion passes. madam clerk, do you have announcements? >> yes, please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. complete speaker cards and copies of documents. it should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will be for october 27th. board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> okay. madam clerk, can you please call item number 1 and 2 together. >> item number 1 and 2 hearing on the recently published 2014-2015 civil grand jury report, entitled unfinished business: a continuity report on the 2011-2012 report, déjà vu all over again. >> item number 1 and 2 hearing on the recently published 2014-2015 civil grand jury report, entitled unfinished

business: a continuity report on the 2011-2012 report, déjà vu all over again. >> thank you. resolution responding to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations contained in the 2014-2015 civil grand jury report, entitled unfinished business: a continuity report on the 2011-2012 report, déjà vu all over again, and urging the major to cause the implementation of accepted findings and recommendations through his/her department heads and through the development of the annual budget. >> alegra futandi. sorry about that. would you please come up and present. >> okay. i'm alegra, a 2014-15 civil grand jury. we would like to thank president yee and breed for holding these hearings. the report is a continuity report on the 2011-12 report. déjà vu all over again. we need a culture shock. most of the work done was done by me and marion, another juror who could not be here today. a continuity report is different from an investigative report. basically jurors review of past investigation to see what progress might have been made in full filling recommendations suggested by, in this case, the

2011-12 jurors and outline what issues might exist. it does not involve a full investigation, although our report ask that a future jury look into city wide technology again. since 2011-12 came out, there have been changes and we commend the city, county and government for making improvements. as outlined in the report itself, changes have been made in the structure and reporting relationship -- okay -- changes have been made in the structure relationship -- the committee on information technology in the senior leadership of the department of technology including the creation of new offices in the stream lining of the cia review process in more communication among departments in the greatly improved 5-year plan and increased funding for technology. in the completion of the e-mail and data center

consolidation, and continuing development of an it management system. city should be commended for these improvements, sometime problems identified in the 2012 report continues to exist. we thank the mayor and others responding to our report for their movement on the restructuring of the department of technology with more emphasis on day-to-day service. we also thank you for the promise of improvements to emerge people so that the skills and education of city it personnel can be recorded. we hope this skills inventory will go beyond the position that any it employee holds. i'm sure many continue their education or have training and skills in areas that are not utilized daily in their current positions. the skills inventory should reflect this. however, there are still three areas of major concern. one, the disingenerous response the

mayor on the network infrastructure has been implemented, and hiring the real funding needs. the city might be funding at a greater rate, but still not fully. as our report indicated for the network infrastructure alone, 15 to 20 million, more than the 6.9 millions invested according to the mayor. the operative word is fully. an infra sfruk tour -- the infrastructure is vital. at the very least, the true response to our first recommendation should have been needs further analysis or even better, has not been implemented but will be implemented at a future date. two, as a result of the 2011-12 report, an it hiring group was formed. this group came up with a pilot it hiring project

for two job classifications. senior and it analyst to decrease hiring times. it was determined if the pilot were successful, it would be rolled out to other positions. jerry was told that preliminary results the pilot would be available in late march 2015. in spite of getting -- our hope today is that one of the supervisors will ask dhr to give us public report about this pilot project whether it has been expanded to other job classifications, what results have flowed from the project, how it's being evaluated and if the department sees value in it. despite the mayor saying that dhr gives reports about this pilot report, they have not done so since january of 2015. right around the time when the pilot began. this might indicate that its results

are probably lacking. three, the jury recommended the establishment of a task force outside dhd to discussion recruiting and hiring its personnel beyond what drh is doing. in san francisco's competitive it hiring environment, everything should be on the table. using figures obtained from the controller's office, it -- and the department of technology at the of the report had a vacancy rate, 100% higher. the city needs new approaches. our jury sincerely hope our report will move the city towards greater it funding and making it better across all city departments. thank you.

>> okay. thank you, ms. fotanadi. right now, is suzanne guard here? would you like to present and then after that, steve. >> i'm with the department of technology. i'll be presenting initially first. an overview of the accomplishments we've made. >> that's fine. >> thank you. my name is brian, and i'm a deputy director with the city of technology. i would like to thank the grand jury for their interest in the department of technology and their hard work for putting together this record and the board giving us an opportunity to comment on the report. in 2011-12, the grand jury report highlighted major issues that the -- we feel we've made real and meaningful progress since then. since that original report, we've continued to improve city wide coordination on it needs

specifically to coit. the city's information on the city's technology. our most recent plan, or ict plan was released this spring and it provides a framework how the city will -- this plan recommends $150 million in city general fund investments over that same time. as you know, the fiscal year is 2015-16 and 2016-17 approved budget includes $190 million in it investments. of this, $61.3 million is slated to come from the general fund. this represents an important step in improving the it infrastructure. this includes the radio replacement effort and a new city wide financial system, a new property tax data base and the rollout of -- as well as projects that are apart

of the city's initiative. the department of technology is collaborating with the department of human resources to review the city's it hiring process. from recruitment of candidates to the on boarding of new hires. for example, this coming monday, the department of technology will welcome an additional recruiter as suggested by the civil grand jury to work exclusive on it hiring needs. in addition, the it hiring group led by the department of human resources has developed and began in-- approve it hiring city wide and to help departments secure the it talents and skill sets. this hiring group has been and will continue to regularly present updates to coit and the civil service commission. you'll find detailed responses to each the grand jury's findings and recommendations and response submitted in our response submit today the

supreme court on september 18th. the department of human resources and the controller's office and the mayor's office is here if you have questions you may have. thank you for this opportunity to comment on these important issues. >> good afternoon, chair yee. i'm suzanne guard with the department of human resources. i want to thank the civil grand jury for their work on this. we agreed that it's important and it's vital to the cities future to improve our it hiring processes, so that we have a sustainable technological group working for the city going forward. so i'm sure you're aware, we're not the only public agency facing technology hiring challenges. a recent report from the state chief information officers said that a shortage of qualified

candidates hampered 66% of states from achieving strategic it initiatives and moving forward with technological goals and that at the executive level in california, 88% of it staff are eligible to retire. so, these statistics in our experiences, san francisco, help us to understand that we -- we have a comprehensive not just of field positions now, but to create a sustainable pipeline for the city's future needs and to do that against our current back drop of 3.5% unemployment in san francisco proper. we also want to point out that the department of human resources believes in the merit hired system that the city has, so our challenge really is to balance those principals with the city's names and the market factors. mrs. fortunati mentioned a pilot we launched in 2015. we had plans to present the results of that pilot and our

strategy moving forward at a meeting scheduled for today, but it conflicted with this hearing, and their be rescheduled in november. we had a goal of testing the effectiveness of an online, on demand examination for permanent civil service hires con ducked for it business analyst. four departments participated in the pilot over six months, the department of public health, the emergency management -- 8 positions went through this pilot process. the exam was online and on demand, so candidates did not have to down to a testing center. when they qualified, they were sent a link and rated. six hires were made through that process we know of in addition to the hires the department made. the eligible

list were boryed by row -- the list was borrowed. >> when was it done? >> in a six-month period. >> you mentioned 8. >> 8 jobs were announced through the pilot process and 6 people were hired of 8. additional folks may have been hired by departments who borrowed those list, but we don't have that specific data. so the -- one of the goals was to reduce the time from announcing and establishing an eligible list. we were success. the time of playing a job on the website to having an eligible list of candidates that the department could hire from was 32 to 37 days. some of the successes from that pilot, the timeline for creating an eligible list was shortened considerably. the

vast majority of the applicants we surveyed after the task found it convenient and easy to use and felt it help them see the city as innovative and forward thinking. they found the process convenient. when you start anything new, an electronic system, there's glitches at the building, so those who participated at the end were definitely more happy with the process. so where we were not successful is that this exam only addresses one more component which is -- what is a very large and can be lengthy hiring process. so we agree with the civil grand jury that a comprehensive change is needed in the way the city conducts its hiring. there has been a time in -- not too distant past -- where we were overcome by the number of applicants we had for open positions and especially with

it hiring, that's not where we are today. we had to move from a process based on what the city needs to a process focused on what the candidate and what the departments need. so what we've been doing is focusing on changes from the way we recruit candidates to the way we bring them on board and their experience when they be -- become a city employee. what folks are doing that's not the city and county of san francisco. like, what is twitter doing? how are they recruiting folks? we have a coalition, not just of the city, but external partners to help us understand how to update our recruitment and hiring process and redesign our candidate experience, so those coming into the city have a good impression of who we are from the beginning to the end. we're doing some things in this process we've never done

before, and one is working hand and hand with a large coalition of city departments. hr, and it to bring everyone together to ensure we're developing a solution that meets everybody's needs. we're planning things like a tech only job website. we're highlighting our value proposition, all the different cool projects city employees do and all the reasons why someone would want to work for a city. we're designing an enticing situation for candidates. we believe in a year from now when we come back and k talabout this again, which is what we would like to do, the landscape will be considerably changed from what it is today, as we're able to implement a new exam, but entirely new process focused on the candidate and enticing them, and interesting them in becoming a city of san francisco employee. i'm happy to take questions you may have. >> you sort of mentioned some

improvements that you would like to make by the end -- by a year from now. and i'm just curious, do you have, like, a work plan or -- that shows timelines of things that need to be done next month and three months from now? >> we will. actually in approximately a week from today, we have a project manager on board. and we are -- we have developed a set of recommendations so there's things we've already done as we've done surveys and focus groups with those candidates hired within the city the last two years and those who dropped out of the process. we've conducted surveys with the hiring department to see what works and what doesn't work in the process. we established five different working groups to look at minimum qualification in salary. our recruitment process, the candidate experience, how we select candidates. and there's one more that is just flying out of my head at this moment,

but each of those working groups got together and came up with a series of recommendations that we will be moving forward to implement. so we're doing this in a way we feel is scientific and will be sustainable. so our next project is to take all of those recommendations and weigh them down. there's a group meeting today right now. who is taking the recommendations and taking them down. the next step prioritize them. what is most important, and what do we have the resource to do? and those are the things we'll do first and foremost. as ms. fortani, all thing are on the table. there's exempt process for hiring. there's a way we can hire expert it folks as a way of contracting in. instead of contracting out, we don't have the capacity to provide within the city. there's a way to

contract in those expert services. >> well, i think i'm -- i would be and probably other members of this committee would be interested to look at -- when you do make those final decisions in a week or so. to look at that report. >> absolutely. >> and maybe a grand jury, members would like to see it too. >> we would be happy to share it. >> it's nice to hear you're going to make progress and it sounds like you are. i'm just curious, if the a-positions are the 6 people hired, just to have a comparison, how many people were we looking for to enter into the it department? >> well, i don't have the total number, but i think a good example is the department of public health. the opening of san francisco general hospital, they have between 80 and 100

new it positions that they need to hire for. so those positions haven't been vacant for a long time, they're new positions coming on board, and we need to hire for those. so in terms of that, there are things we can do in the present moment that help to hire those folks quickly and get them on board, and there are things we can do in the long run to ensure these changes we make are sustainable. >> okay. thank you. any other questions? i have a question for, i think, this might be for mr. balace. in regards to the funding that's needed to do all this, you mentioned, in the budget, in the next two years, we have a fairly large budget for the it department, but i'm just curious, how much would it

cost to implement these things we're talking about because part -- what you mentioned was 100-something million or whatever it was. $61 million. what i didn't get was, what part of that budget would be to implement new approaches? >> well, so $150 million over the next five years is what's apart of the it plan. we've -- which is a significant amount of money. we have a lot of need. we have a lot of projects that are in need of more money all the time. but that's a significant investment. i don't have the total number of what it would take to do everything that is requested. but the $61.3 million is what we mentioned over the coming two years. and as far as what the short fall

is, i don't have that number. but that amount is what we have identified as requiring to meet those initiatives we have described and it's in the report we submitted. is there a specific initiative or project, maybe someone from our department can provide more - >> i just am interested in the short comings of these projects. what is the budget need to fully implement the things you want to implement? >> i don't have that number. we do a better job now of identifying what are the significant and the essential projects and we're focusing on those, and that's what we've provided in the response here. as far as the -- any other projects that aren't mentioned here and what the short fall is, i don't have that in front of me. >> ms. garner, in regards to

the implementation of these ideas you have, is there a price tag attached to it because again, i assume this is going to take funding to do some of this stuff? speaker: absolutely. the question is, is there a budget attached to those ideas. there will be need to be, so we will be -- i'll give you one example. one of the things that is a recommendation that will come out of this group, i talked about, is we think it would be helpful to have one central team that focused on it recruitment, and helps department stay up with current technology, current terminology, helps departments write mouth watering advertising to get folks interested to coming to work for the city. having a team like that will require resources. >> i appreciate it. when you do that report by a week or so, have those -- >> hopefully we'll be able to

put those price tags on them. i do want to say thank you to dt and the recruiting they're bringing on board is a great help for us, and in putting all of these things together, but yeah. so the answer is yeah. we'll be able to put price tags on that and share information in the report. >> i appreciate it. any questions, supervisor? thank you very much. >> thank you. is there another report? >> no -- yes. any public comments on this item? seeing none. public comment is now closed. i guess what we want to do now is go through the findings and recommendations. so would you call each finding, madam clerk. >> yes. finding number one, the city has not prioritized critical network infrastructure

investments as demonstrated by the failure to fund network improvement. >> okay. i'd like to recommend that we disagree with finding holy. and the comments we have is major it infrastructure, projects have been a major focus for the city. coordinating effort to improve the city's network infrastructure is included ads a priority in the information and the communication technology plan. okay. >> finding number two, significant problems exist within the department of technology, that limit the service it's provides to departments, largely due to the inability to sale job positions and job restraints. >> i recommend we disagree with this holding. the board of supervisor has no jurisdiction over the hiring process that dh and dt has and continue to update. the board through the an maul budget process has made

significant investments to the department. >> finding number, the three reorganization three to designate a -- could be a positive step in building dt's credibility. >> we will agree with the findings. >> finding number four, dt business analyst capabilities to launch new processes to make dt more efficient and more effect. >> we disagree with finding in part. the board of supervisors was able to fund both the new business engagement manager position and the second business analysis. analyst requested by dt -- it. the department of technology. dt. >> finding number five, the skills capability of the people soft system as con figured will not enable department heads to

identify city employees with skill set and demand. >> we agree with finding. >> finding number six, the department of human resources, dhr effort through the information technology, it hire -- and stream line it hiring will not sufficiently impact the it and dt. >> we would disagree with this finding holding. the board of supervisors have no jurisdiction over the hiring process of that dhr and dt. have established and continued to update. >> the final finding or finding number seven, the absence of a way to bring in it services whether at will or service based system puts the city at a great disadvantage and all other risk of technology -- >> the board of supervisor have

no jurisdiction over the hiring board. we have established and continue to update. would you like to go onto the recommendation portion? >> okay. chairman yee, i would be happy to go through my suggested responses to the recommendation. can you please read recommendation one. >> recommendation one, the mayor should pry ore these the network infrastructure and fund the platform. >> this recommendation has been implemented. and our response text is as the mayor response indicates, the 6th network project was highlighted as a high priority into the most recent it plan and funded with $4.3 million in the mayor's fiscal year 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 budget, the largest

single allegation from koit's allegation. >> recommendation number two, the mayor and the board of supervisors should have a six-month report. >> this will not be implemented. while any individual supervisor can call a hearing on this topic at any time, the board of supervisors could be predict if or when one may do so. the board president, myself, sits on koit which will receive progress. as the department's response indicates in september, dt began releasing a monthly project status and key performance indicator, a key -- and key performance report for department heads including measures on services at a project level network of time and other yet to be determined matrix.

>> recommendation number three, a user satisfaction survey should be sent to all dt clients before the end of 2015 and later in six months. after the reorganization to assess whether the new accountability structure is making a difference for the clients. >> this has not been implemented but will be in the future. for clarity, will i need to specify a date if that's the case? >> through the chair, supervisor breed, i believe so and the outlining date can be six months from when the report was issued. >> thank you. this is largely beyond the jurisdiction of the board of supervisors. dt plans to distribute an initial survey before the end of 2015 with a followup survey by the end of

2015-2016. okay. thank you. recommendation number four, please. >> the office of the controller should develop a skills capability by the end of 2015-16. speaker: this has not been implemented but will be in the future. as the controllers response indicates, they plan to implement this in the specified timeframe. it's in the controller's audit -- i mean, the controller's response. thank you. recommendation five. >> dhr should present the results of its pilot hiring process to the mayor and the board of supervisors before the end of calendar year 2015. >> has not been implemented, but will be in the future. as the department response indicates, dhr plans to

complete this by the end of fiscal year 2015-16. >> recommendation six, dhr should issue a monthly report showing the number of it positions at the beginning of the month. the number of the new it position recommendations received in the current month, the number of it positions filled in the current month, the number of it positions at the end of the month and the average days to require the it positions closed in the current month. >> okay. this recommendation will not be implemented. implementation of this recommendation is largely beyond the jurisdiction of the board of supervisors. any individual supervisor could call a hearing on this topic or request a report at any time, the board of supervisors cannot specifically predict if or when one may do so. more over, reports with this level of

gradually and frequently would be excessive for the board's purposes. >> recommendation 7, dt should launch a task force for recruiting it staff at the at-will basic. >> okay. this has been implemented. as dt's response indicates, this task force was developed in response to the civil grand jury previous report. the board of supervisor thanks the grand jury members for their contributions in improving city it. >> recommendation number 8, the mayor and the board of supervisors should calendar a review of tax proposals within six months of its convening. >> this has been implemented. the task force has and will present to koit. a body on which the board of supervisors and many other city leaders set. >> recommendation nine, dt

needs a recruited dedicated exclusively to dt and other it staffing needs. >> will not be implemented. this is beyond the jurisdiction of the board of supervisors, so the board will support dt and its effort and evaluate any possible staffing reports during the annual process. >> the final recommendation is number 10. dt need to hire business -- new reorganization and new initiative. >> this has been implemented. this is largely beyond the jurisdiction of the board of supervisors, but as the department response indicated, there's an engagement process as apart of this pre-organization working on these efforts and have funding for additional staff to do so. and so that's the final recommendation, and with that, chairman yee, i propose that as our official response from the board of supervisors. speaker: thank you very much,

supervisor breed. first of all, can we have a motion to file number one. >> because the recommendations three, four, and five has an implementation to be in the future, it will be need to be continues. >> i make a motion to continue item number 1 to the call of the chair. >> no objection, motion passes. now, can we have a motion to forward this item number 2 as amended to the full board with positive recommendation as a committee report. >> so moved. >> okay. with no objection. the motion passes. >> before -- oh. >> go ahead. >> before we move to our next item, i want to thank the members of the civil grand jury for the work that was put into preparing this report, and thank you alegra for your work on this as well. i know you've served on the civil grand jury in the past, so we really appreciate your commitment to

working on these reports and working to make the city better. thank you. >> i also dido that. this one has been a very interesting one in which we all know that we can mast vast improvements to our system when it comes to the it, so thank you very much, and thank you very much for others that have also contributed to this report. okay. so, madam clerk, can we have item number 3. >> hearing on the recently published 2014-2015 civil grand jury report, entitled "san francisco fire department, what does the future hold? >> okay. so, the person for a grand jury for this report is janice. i guess also -- go ahead. >> supervisor yee and supervisor bree. i'm janice petty, for the person of the

2014-15 grand jury, and i was on the -- another grand juror is going to present the report to you. >> thank you very much. >> i'm jack tumey. i'm pleased to be here. the most recent investigation of the san francisco fire department by the san francisco civil grand jury was way back in 2004. we focused on the 1990 emerger of an emergency services from department of public health and to the -- i saw -- it solved problems with poor emergency responds with local 798 with a complex as well as harassment towards emt's and with 24-hour shifts for emt's. in the years, we've seen dispatch -- shifting from the static mode

of being stationed at fire houses to the dynamic mode of being home -- and they moved to be disbursed across the city. also, emt's have returns to 12-hour shifts. newspaper reports in 2014, again, reported on poor fd emergency response times, and in september of 2014, the local 798 issued a letter to the mayor stating that local -- total lack of interest of confidence in the current ssfd administration. boelth of these stories peaked our interest when they did an investigation into the fire department. during our initial look, we toured the training facility of treasure island and we were impressed with the state of the facility. firefighters train in-house and it has been set afire with

propane. yet the house does not burn down and it's available next week for further training. firefighters are move over broken ground in full gear carrying hoses. the capability for a live training on a bart vehicle is -- we found out this wonderful facility is all going away within a few years because ti is devoted to housing and businesses and parkland. there's no room for a fire training facility. yet the existing sewerage facility is staying. during our investigation, the jury again find a major problem in fd which is not responding to emergency and medical emergencies fast enough. the department has -- recently received new ambulances and must rely on some ambulances more than ten years old. there was slow response times in the

southern half of the city and recommended that ambulances in those areas go back to their allegation. sffd responded to recommendation with a plan to allocate fire house in these houses -- ambulances to return to evans street during their street to replenish supplies. this just might work. not responding first -- which is ten minutes for code three emergencies and 20 minutes for code two. the aspect of not responded often enough refers to not fulfilling the 80% mandate the exclusive operating area agreement. not fulfilling the eoa agreement means loss of funds to sffd and that private analyst get more than the 20 to which they're entitled. the

jury found a lack of strategic planning at sffd. the department said that this is due to the economic turn down in 2008 when they laid off their strategic planner in order to keep one more firefighter on the job. the department's response to recommendation are 1.5 list its effort being taken in regard to this strategic planning. the areas in dire need is -- they keep the facility there. the mayor appoints members of the board of directors of tita, the treasure island development authority and it has approval from the board of supervisors. without ti, the city has to get on with finding another area in the city that can accept the

propane storage tank necessarily for the [inaudible]. this will not be cheap or easy, and sffd must not [inaudible]. another strategic planning is the maintenance of fire engines and fire houses. what we have now is deferred maintenance. the deferred bill is already high and getting higher. thank you. >> thank you very much. any questions? let me have fire chief hazewhite and her crew to come up here. and then also owe goe ahead -- go ahead. >> hazewhite, the fire department. i wanted talk about our fire president andre evans and fire commissioner mike and he custody parted due

to another appointment and that's fire commissioner stephen. we also have present, mr. bob beck from treasure island department authority. there were two areas where tita had to respond. we appreciate them being here. i have 8 slides. you have our -- it itemized -- before i get started on the presentation, and i know three are here today, the members of the civil grand jury. i'm impressed by the participating nature of our community members, and they volunteered for this assignment and spent hours working with members of my staff to get a better understanding of our department operation and we appreciate the work that they did. so, first slide, and i want to acknowledge the members

of my staff here. mark is going to help me with the slide show. so department representative met a number of times with the civil grand jury and explored and discuss a number of topics. at the end of the day, there were two areas that the grand jury focused their report on. the first was the ems response and the second was the status of the department's training facility on treasure island. so the following slides will address those two topics. related to ems, issues highlighted in the report as you know, our city has seen growth over the past few years that increases the demand for services. with both day and night services -- the result has been increased calls on the medical services side. the city's ambulance resources both san francisco fire department and private partners unfortunately have not been able to keep up with the demand

and that resulted in response issues in the fall of last year. as a result, a city wide work group performed pulling partners and stakeholders from our department, the department of emergency management, the mayor's office, the controller's office, board of supervisors, president breed was at those meetings, labor and doing an analysis of the systems and makes recommendations on the improvement. there was an investment made in the department which the economy restored here in our city and it has supplied much needed resources to address some of the issues. the next slide, we bulleted it out some of the new initiatives that we've taken and resources added since just a year ago. and i'll review these briefly. we do have an academy of 42 members, emt, join the san francisco fire department, so they provided additional staffing. they came in april and graduated in may

of this year. we saw the delivery of 19 new ambulances in service. proud to report related to ambulances we have another 9 coming this fiscal year. 5 were awarded through a grant. 2 were privately donated by a couple from the community. and 2 are in our budget. so with the delivery of those the added to the 19, we will have more than 50% of our ambulances with less than 3 years of service which we're delighted to present to you. we also just recently shifted to a 42-hour workweek for the ambulance tier. and it allows for greater coverage that the previous schedule did not, and we just embarked on september 26th. we also are working on an enhanced supervision model at station 49. we received -- greater level of supervision on

a greater basis. joining today, i asked dr. clenan who is our director, he's also he's practicing emergency -- he has a very thorough understanding of the challenges we face here in the city, and he has spear headed the restoration of version 2 of what used to be called the home team. the homeless outreach medical evaluation team. we've repurposed it and it has been funded to have two captains that will work full time responding to the frequent users of this system. if we see a pattern by a certain person, instead of having our resources rushed to that scene, wore going to have a proactive resource. we're in the process of recruiting for those positions at this time. they were recently funded as of october. we think that will

have a direct impact on appropriate resources for these frequent users of this system. dp nurses, i believe, as you may know, we have a heavy call volume to one address, 101 pulk street which is a drop in shelter. responders were responded 80 or 90 times a month, and in working in conjunction with the department of public health, we asked for medical expertise, so the dhp replaced a nurse at that city. the calls have dropped by 50% by month, because we have a higher level of expertise to say does this person that i'm evaluating need 911 services or do they need another service. we believe that's a great i will -- a great illustration that we've embarked on. we're

in the process, as was addressed by the civil grand jury, as opposed to having just station 49 at 14 evans, 15 avenue znswer b, the equipment crash house is getting -- and we also continue, as apart of the work group to have the sub-committees in terms of the ems, ambulance provider group members. in the last year and a half, we have become much more closely aligned and the lines of communication are good. they're improved with our private partners and king american. and so they continue to meet on a monthly basis. our department and the private providers. we've close with department of emergency management of tracking data and that working group continues as

we refine and analyze our data. we're working closely with dt on it upgrades, and we're delighted that under the direction of deputy chief cambardi working on the ems facility, a grand new facility that we envision being placed on the 2016 health fund to the tune of $45 million. it will replace the station 49 facility which was always envisioned to be a temporary facility. we've grown and we've managed to make it a facility that will continue to accommodate the great work that our members do. we really need a brand new facility and we envision incorporating ems in into -- what we've locked down is a location behind our station 9 on jerald avenue. and we can answer more questions about that if you have any specifics.

the next slide is a graphic. as you can see from the chart, this is included in the department's response in your packet. emergency or code 3 life-threatening response times has decreased given these additional resources that i talked about. and initiatives put in place or in the process of being implemented. response times and assistance performance improved over the summer even after the publishing of the civil grand jury report. it's not to say that the work doesn't continue. we need to continue to improve. we're constantly monitoring the system and analyzing areas of improvements or pending issues that may arrive. we've experienced increases over the last 12 months in light of these improvements so our impact on staffing is being monitored closely. we did want to put in a slide about strategic planning although it focuses on

the straining facility. the department has been lacking in administrative and planning resources. we have regularly, since we lost that position, nearly a decade ago have advocated for that, and i know chair yee, you and i have spoken about the response of strategic planning and i know it's a priority for president breed. this year, we had to fight tooth and nail to keep those positions in. we have new positions which we're in the process of filling, and in addition, we want to incorporate sort of all these separate documents into one large comprehensive document that we'll plan. i would like to acknowledge evans for helping spearhead a strategic planning committee which is comprised of various committee members, that we've met three or four times and talked about

the initiatives and five topics we've been talking about. and it's surrounded by the people and the policies and the preparedness of our department. that's forth coming. our goal is to initial a plan some time in the spring during the fiscal year. the following two slides, address our treasure island training facility. when i was a direct of training from 2000 to 2004, we had just inherited from the navy when the navy decommissioned that facility, we inherited and i can say from personal experience, that facility is worth its weight in gold. we operate an extensive goal on treasure island where we conduct a variety of training including recruit training and regional trainings and exercise. we do have a training facility here at 19th

and fulsome. the experience gained from this facility is unmatched. we do have a live burn facility. we've basically replicated an underground muni and bart situation, electrical, water emergencies, you name it, that facility has it. and we feel that it has definitely assisted us -- i'm a big believer in training. training is the success of any organization, but it takes on a greater meaning when you're talking about saving lives and property. so we have been good partners with mr. beck and his staff. as you know, we have a state fire station over there. we're responsibility for taking lives and property on treasure island. the treasure island plan, the department is anticipating to vacate that facility in later phases of

that development. we need to replicate this facility. candidly, it will be difficult because of possibly noise as well as the requirements of having a live burn facility. i know there's plans and i'm respectful of plans and housing, but speaking with my fire chief's hat on, i would like engage in revisiting this issue. and we are cold heartily behind it and appreciate the objective recommendation from the civil grand jury that this is a facility that is second to none. i believe there's only two -- this is the only one i believe in northern california. we have ideas that we'd like to enhance, but because of this blooming 7-year deadline, we haven't done so. we believe we could continue to use this

facility. it would have revenue generating capabilities if we open more of the regional asset. i would like to throw that -- i know our fire commission is of that same opinion. we would love to have a further conversation about the possibility of keeping that facility, and i understand it would be potentially enough -- i know there's parkland that's expected to be in that area, but -- and i get it, i'm a mother. outdoor space is important, but this is, i think, where we need to be prepared for a man made disaster. you can't get the type of training that we're able to put on treasure island facility. that concludes my presentation. i'm happy to answer any questions. thank you. >> we need to take a real quick

10-minute break right now. and we'll have a >> let's, i guess, the recess is over. thank you chief for your presentation. are there others that will be presenting? >> not at this time, but i may call on them for specific questions. >> okay. at this time, supervisor breed, do you have questions? >> yes, i was hoping that the treasure island development authority would provide a presentation based on their response regarding the facility.

>> thank you, chairman yee, director -- supervisor. i don't have a presentation for you today, but i can certainly speak to the response that was provided as was mentioned in the response. the fire training facility was not included in the future land use plan. i'm still reviewing some of our historical documents, our files to see if i can find a more extensive analysis of some of the thinking that went into the conclusions to not include it in the land use plan for the future of treasure island. we certainly -- i have a long history in my career of working with the san francisco fire department, and understand the important role that the fire training facility plays in

the department's programs, and i look forward to working with them and the department of real-estate as appropriate to evaluate potential future sites for the fire training facility or for its potential continued presence on treasure island. if the continued use of the navy facility has been viewed largely as an interim use, since the base was closed, and so moving forward, we would need to do a full environmental analysis for either continued operation of an existing or rehabilitated facility or a new facility on treasure island and recommend that be treated as a distinct project rather than reevaluating our program. but understand the role that the facility plays and the need for such a facility and we look

forward to working with the fire department and the city to do that evaluation. >> so there anything in the agreement with the navy that prohibits tita from allowing the training facility to remain at its current location? >> there's nothing in the agreement with the navy that would prohibit the facility from continuing, but the adopted development plan for treasure island and the land use for treasure island did not anticipate the fire training facility and so its continued operation as a permanent facility and function would need to undergo environmental evaluation. >> and it would be something that the tita board would need to approve, not necessarily anything else? >> it would need to be approved

by the tita board and it would need to be approved by the board of supervisor and we need to evaluate it. >> we could run into some challenges with that. >> yeah, there are certainly a number of complex issues that we need to -- would need to be evaluated that would be you know, potentially significant hurtles to continue operations on they land in a permanent function. >> i don't recall in the initial discussions the -- i vaguely recall the fire training facility being considered more long term, so i guess i'm just trying to understand what happened that took it out of the mix as more of a permanent location. i

know for example, the brig and the police academy and other discussions around other city department zs -- and those were moved out of the fix, but i wasn't under the impression -- the fire training academy was supposed to be considered long term. >> that's apart of the area i'm still investigating. you know the treasure island department program underwent a lengthy planning process between the time that the base was identified for closure and ultimately closed in the time that the land use -- the dir and the land use plan was adopted in 2011. and were in that timeline the decision -- and where in that timeline it

wasn't including the timeline -- and the basis of that decision is something i'm researching. >> i would say things change. it has been going on for many, many years, trying to move treasure island forward in a certain direction, developing housing and parkland, and in the meantime, i know there's a lot of empty spaces and spaces that can and can't be used, but i'm very familiar with the fire training academy, and this is one of those particular spaces that i think is being used well and serves the city well. i think when things like this happen and things change, we ought to adjust to those changes, and so i would definitely like for tita to really do whatever it can to try and keep the training facility at this location permanently. if that's a possibility to work on a level of agreement that could lead to that. it's important for our

city. our city is growing, and i'm not suggesting that treasure island to bear the blunt of this growth, but treasure island is apart of the city. tita is apart of the city and sometimes decisions need to be made to make adjustments when we need space for a purpose of this nature, which is a real public safety issue, so i would strongly suggest that we really explore this and try to come up with something a lot more permanent so we don't find ourselves in the situation where the development is happening and we're out luck and facility closes down and we're trying to figure out what we're going to do. this could impact the quality of life, not just residents all over the city, but those residents who live on treasure island because we need a place like this to train our work force. we're growing and

we're going to be hiring more firefighter and we need the space to train them and this is an important part of that. i'm hopeful that could be taken into consideration with the tita board and i'm hopeful the mayor's office is heavily involved in this as well in trying to get us moving in the right direction. >> yeah. well, we certainly, you know, this is a very good time for us to be having this conversation. we're beginning the development effort now. and we have about 7 years or potentially more before the existing site would be affected by development. so we do have a window of opportunity here to evaluate whether continued presence on treasure island is viable, and if not, what i'll alternative locations might be, and where we might be able to secure a site that we'll be

able to support such a facility. it is a -- we look forward to working with the fire department and the city, the department of real-estate and the planning department on that evaluation effort. >> i can speak for -- i'm only speaking for myself, but as a member of the board, if there were approvals that were required of me that involved the development and the property and didn't involve a well-thought out plan that would allow for permanent location department, i'm not certain i would be supportive of that plan, so i want to put that out there moving forward, so hopefully something can be done. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> yep. >> thank you, mr. becon. >> i concur with supervise breed on this position. i haven't been able to visit the facility itself, but from the feedback i've gotten from rank

and file, people that have gone through training, they speak highly of it, and if it's going to help us save lives in the long run, we need to make adjustments so that our firefighters are best prepared, that they could be. so anything you could do to help that along, i certainly would be very appreciative of that. thank you. >> thank you. >> any public comments on this issue? >> i did have some more questions. >> okay. >> do you want to finish them? >> i did have some questions for the chief. thank you for your presentation. i know that -- i mean, i didn't find the report surprising as you probably know, mostly because of the strategic planning part of the report, i've always been concerned about the department, and the fact that the department did not have a strategic plan to deal with staffing, to deal with the equipment, to deal with a

number of challenges that the department faces especially when there were really challenging budget times and there had to be cut made and i understand that. i guess, i'd like to understand a little bit more, you know, when the last strategic plan, when and if there were a strategic plan done for the department, and can you explain a little bit more - i know the civil grand jury report is focused on the fire training facility as well the engines and the houses, but can you explain exactly, you know, what kind of strategic plan you're working on. is it a comprehensive plan or is it more specific to what's in the civil grand jury report? just a little bit more information for the department. >> supervisor yee, chair breed, the goal is comprehensive for a road map for the next three to four five years. we worked on

a streej -- we worked on a strategic plan in 2005. there's plenty of plans that exist, but it's putting them into one single document. we've had a hiring plan since 2012. that was in conjunction with the mayor's office. in the next three fiscal years, we anticipate hiring roughly 375 firefighters and anticipate 200 to 375 retirements. we did a lot of that work, but it doesn't exist in a single document. you've spent time on fire commission, we've had an apparatus plan that has been approved by the staff. our budget reflects that request. the difficult part is that has not been funded to the extent that the plan calls for, so the plan exist, funding has been an issue and that's probably our

biggest initiatives coming up, which was not in the grand jury report, but we were making plans for apparatus to make sure we have appropriate apparatus standards. the plan will be comprehensive to address the two components of the civil grand jury report, ems and training, but also fleet, health and wellness, community outreach, it will be very comprehensive. >> and for the engine -- i mean, for the houses like -- i know there's been bonds that has been passed by the voters, the amount of money that we, say, in the bonds we were using for the fire houses aren't the amount of money we're using for the fire houses. i wanted to know, are there any plans to

address long term, some of the challenges with some of the houses? i know that we're -- we're completely doing station 5 and station number 1. a brand new station. we have the new emergency -- the arson unit and others -- speaker: public safety buildings. >> public safety buildings, thank you. we have a number of things that's happening, but we still have a lot of challenges with our fire houses and so our -- do we have, other than that i know the city's capital's plan and information about what we plan to do city wide, is there any plan with the department in terms of the fire houses as apart of the strategic plan, that will be incorporated into the strategic plan in terms of the standard of every facility should make sure that it's a safe environment? particularly, it's a 24/7 facility. we have a work order funding into the department of public health,

and we have an hygenist on board. we have been blessed by the bond funding. we would not -- maintenance has been an issue throughout my 25 plus year career in the station. we've always been, in my opinion, underfunded. we have 50 plus facilities and what it boils down to is less than $100,000 a year. it's more than 25,000 per facility. without these bonds, 2010 and 2014, we would be not in very good shape. we definitely need adequate funding for our facilities. we understand there's going to be -- our strategic plan will make sure we have proper funding for these aging facilities. you

referenced station 1 on fulsome, station 4 in mission bay, but most of the facilities are 50, 60, 70-year-old and it's like the hmo philosophy. the maintenance has been delayed. can you talk a little about response times and where we are now since this report came out? i know we have more ambulances. i know we're hiring more paramedics and we have more paramedic on the street and there's the information regarding pair mets that are -- regarding paramedics at the station. are there 24-hour a day paramedics in the station. if you talk

about that? >> we have seen an improvement. a drop in our response times. the problem we were having wasn't getting a fire -- it was the third timeframe, the 10-meantime frame. we have seen a drop in that due to the investment in staffing as well as apparatus. so we are 87% of the time, we're responding within our timeframe for code 3 emergencies. >> that's less than ten minutes, right. >> ten minutes or less. so the threshold we like to see, which for a number of years, not just last year, to have -- in 90 percentile has been a challenge for us. we continue to be challenged given traf patterns, given the increase in call volume, but we have seen

significant improvement since last year of this time. regarding the paramedics, last year, due to staffing, we dropped to 27 fire engines that had als capability. so als means advance life -- there's a basic life support certified person. $27 fire engines that had als capability. so als means advance life -- there's a basic life support certified person. the vast majority of response by our department can be achieved and treated by a bls training person. it's evaluated to have a paramedic on the engine. we've seen those paramedic engines rise from a 27 to 33 out of 44. at this point -- that is addressed in the civil grand jury report. at this point, we are more than meeting that 7-minute threshold to have an als provider on scene within the 7-minute timeframe. that has never been a problem for us.

and we will continue to analyze the all als engine model which i think has a lot of positives to it, and that you have every engine with the same training -- level of training and that's something we're looking at and we'll probably discuss during the budget season. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. thank you very much. at this time, i'd like to see if there's any public comments on this item. seeing none. public comment is now closed. i do have one more question though. prior to training facilities that you have access to on treasure island, where did we do our training? >> we were training at 19th and fulsome. there's a large training tower there adjacent to station 7. when i first came in, we had a limited sort

of live burn which the epa would certainly, in this day in age would not allow. we would have a smoulder fire down in a basement at 19th and fulsome. that went away in the mid-90s. we had discussions way back then under chief demins and chief tabaco and chief -- i worked for all three of them as director of training and we really felt that it was valuable as set for our -- a valuable asset for our members and getting -- >> thank you very much. >> i'm sorry, i forgot to ask, where are we with the eoa and are we in compliance at this

time with the eoa. >> the exclusive operating area that you're referring to an 80/20 market share. 80% being from the san francisco fire department and 20% by the two private providers as apart of that operating area. we're not quite at 80%. their most recent statistic is 85%. >> i know when we were experiencing the height of our crisis, that the private ambulance companies were helping the city out which i figured may create a challenge in terms of the eoa, but most important, we wanted to make sure there were ambulances out there on the street, and so -- we're working with the private

companies a lot more than we have before, but what do you think -- what would you attribute the change, the increase in our commitment to the eoa too? i would say definitely the infusion of additional staffing we hired in april and one of the things i didn't indicate, but it segways into your question, we did something -- just last weekend, we debuted a model so if we have a surge period of time in the city or we have a discretionary leave, we have trained fire department individuals who come in. a --

>> are they making overtime? is it a per diem difference than overtime? >> i'm going to ask mark to talk about that. i might ask dr. ya to speak about the era. we're going to address -- >> okay. thank you. >> good afternoon, it's a per diem employee. it's not overtime. this is for employees that are not regularly employed by the department or employed elsewhere and come work on a part-time basis with the department. >> got it. that's creative. >> thank you, supervisors. i was asked by the chief to mention something about the eoa compliance. a lot is true. we don't meet our goals in terms of market shares. the state has recognized that the important thing is we're

providing the services to our citizens. we want to jeopardize that in sake of meeting a number. externally and internally, there's pressure on making sure the processes are in place so we can meet them. that is that we have the infusion of both measures that will make our facility more efficient and allowing more staff to get to 80/20. it's recognized by the state as well as by all of our eternal partners, the privates that we want to get to the 80/20, although it will take time. >> great, thank you. >> did i close public comments yet? i haven't. >> thank you. >> thank you, public comment is now closed. first of all, i would like to thank petty and

jack for being here and presenting and for the grand jury that has worked on this issue. you know, this is a very important issue. we want to keep our city as safe as possible. and as much as we might have non about these issues in the past, it's helpful sometime to highlight and say we need to get some things done. to me, it's not just the fire department by themselves getting it done, but it would take all us to support the fire department whether it's from the budget process or the mayor saying, let's go hire some more folks to fill in the vacancy. let's get what we need. i know this has been an

important issue for supervisor breed and for myself. i'm ready to continue to support the efforts of the fire department to get us to -- it seems like we're moving in right direction. so would you like to make anymore comments? >> yes, thank you to the members of the civil grand juries for investigating issues. i know over the past, i guess, year or so, i was really highlighting this issue because of the challenges that many of my residents faced in our district with ambulance response times and i must say that the investment has definitely made a difference, although there is still a lot more work that needs to be done to get us to where we need to be as a city with the department overall. the fact that the board of supervisors and the mayor have invested a

significant dollar amount, over $30 million, additional funding to hire more firefighters -- to hire more paramedic and to try and support the department in a significant way is really commendable. i do think that we definitely need a strategic plan. we definitely need to understand exactly where we are in the department, where we are in the equipment, with our engines, with our facilities, with our employees. more so because when i first started serving on the commission, i recall there were one year there were over 70 people or 80 people that retired in that one year, and i thought to myself, okay, if we're not bringing on 80 people to replace those

people, number one, what are we -- how are we filling those positions, but more importantly, that's a lot of institutional knowledge that's walking out the door. the city needs to do a better job to make sure we don't wait 10 years before we have a class or waiting 10 years to replace equipment or waiting 10 years before we develop a strategic plan. we have to think long term so we can make sure as we approve this development, as we add over the past -- i guess since 1991, over 100,000 residents, and we're expected to have another 100,000 over the next ten years. we have to keep an eye over the departments. it's really important and i appreciate the work that has been done by the

civil grand jury to shed a light on this and i appreciate the department on improving the issues that has been in the department. and lastly, i want to say i do think it's important that, you know, and just for clarity sake, treasure island authority is apart of the city. the members of the commission are appointed by the mayor, approved by the board of supervisors and there's a process here. i understand there are a lot of, sometimes red tape or legal issues that tie us to certain agreements, but the fact that there has been no leadership to address making sure that this particular training facility would somehow apart of treasure island's long-term plan. i'm

not certain how this ball got dropped and i do think that we need to look at this issue very seriously and try and figure out something a lot more permanent because this is about public safety, and treasure island is apart of san francisco, and we hold the authority on what happens with treasure island and we need to be a lot more aggressive when making sure that a facility like this, that provides this level of training for people who are protecting our lives every single day is definitely the least we can do, is make sure they have a state of our facility to train at. and so this is really important to me and i'm hoping that this sounds of alarm for that particular piece of well. thank you to everyone who is here. thank you to the commissioners i see in the audiences and other members of the department. and i look forward to, hopefully, you know, as time progresses,

you know, an even more significant change in the department. thank you. >> so can we have a motion to file item number 3. >> yes. so moved. >> no objection, the motion passes. madam clerk. thank you very much, madam clerk. before we entertain a motion to convene in closed session. can you call item 4-6. >> item number 4-6 authorizes for approving settlements against the city and county of san francisco. >> before we entertain a motion to go to closed session, is there a member from the public that wishes to speak on items 4-6? >> just for con -- confirmation number 3, was it to call or call to the chair? >> file. >> thank you.

>> okay. so can i have a motion -- i see no public comments. public comment is closed. could i have a motion to convene in closed session. speaker: so moved. >> motion passes. >> deputy, the committee voted by a vote 2-0 to forward 4, 5 and 6 with positive recommendation. >> supervisor, can i have a motion to not disclose what happened in closed session? >> so moved. >> no objection. motion passes. madam clerk, is there anything else on the agenda. >> no further business. >> if there's nothing further, the meeting is now adjourned. thank you very much.
