software including all sorts of stuff. >> yes. >> it is more than - it is more. >> like a repository. >> for documentation documentation and . >> property management. >> our system is prearchaic it was on a platform it is no longer need it needs to be enhanced and needs enhancement yeah. >> okay. so my recommendations basic is to increase the surcharge revenue as needed to cover the operating expenses to reflect the enforced allocation of the fund to help to avoids the surcharges and the rates of surcharges and to work with the controller's office and

the mayor's office to see whether any legislation is needed to look at change the types of permit which the surcharges are levied and to continue to manage the expenses as appropriately as possible that's my report i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> in the appendixes the details of the line items and surcharge rates and filing fees and appreciate our consideration of a motion to adopt. >> a couple of questions on the subject of database slashing management system do you have do you have a concept was it might cost from the possess process of rf to review of proposals to you know

review of the proper purchasing protocols not buying a system a lot of the different parts do you have any idea what that costs. >> i'm not sure there is costs with the rfp p process the city does that for itself i hope to rely on department of technology to help us to review the - the review of the proposals the tech store is set up to do that i don't know what the costs would be and certainly not want to move forward if the costs are too high one barn is 60 or $70,000 for the design of the

product and the first years licensing an ongoing licensing costs and then also train on how to use the system and also the imputing of data imputing that will take a lot of time. >> part of proposal to move the data to the system i wouldn't want that to be done by us manually but electronically and yeah, and then the train we are using a system now i don't expect the system to be dramatically different it functions for us but only more bells and whistles. >> i wouldn't doubt that.

>> so should there be an additional line item or an allocation and approval and should that money come from into the current budget or as we're approve a motion that we acknowledge the possibility of that management system upgrade and that the fund been assumed to be coming from either fees from the upcoming fiscal year or fees from the rainy-day fund i prefer the latter gives me the latitude i'm compelled to bring anything that is beyond what we've been talking about so an appropriate motion to productive the budget with the addition of a accrual the funds

come from a rainy-day fund. >> you would agree totally coming from the rainy-day fund and in terms of you know shortfall coming from that also rather than any type of surcharge the cost for the little guys. >> uh-huh. >> i think that is the message i'm getting from the controller's office is they're committed to that and expect the mayor's office will be as well. >> will you accept that motion i made and i will ask for public comment and i see none. >> public any public comment. >> they're too busy talking about. >> a motion from commissioner swig to adopt those budget proposals with the addition of the potential from the

allocation for an upgrade to the database. >> commissioner vice president fung and commissioner president honda thank you that that item passes then and. >> there's no further business. >> thank you very much madam director for this awesome overview as takeoff stated before our efficient at our job and that seconds all i've said thank you, again. >> thank you. >> thank you as

couth i have the distinction of leading off the remarks about this year's cohort of national certified teachers 9 folks they represent teachers that have achieved the recertification that have been with us sometime in the last 10 years and in the first time undergone this process the second time and one for the first time this year we do every single year celebrate and commend them in public first, i want to introduce the team we have in the district that support their work so if you'll please stabbed as i call your name with the department of leadership. >> (clapping.) >> the teacher on special assignment and supporting the national certification and sarah another teacher on special

assignment. >> (clapping.) >> and they then not able to join us but an important member of the team carla not here but supports our candidates so thank you. >> (clapping.) >> every year we celebrate a null sifted board teachers an opportunity to remind the public that it represents the highest standard in our profession folks that achieved certification go through a rigorous program that lasts one year or longer and demonstrate against the national practice standards that have a reflection and competence so all the candidates have demonstrated those skills in some cases twice over the course of a decade that is a great distinction and lines

up with strategies in our own portfolio to recruit the best educators in our school we're in the process right away right now of a redesign national process and accumulated to see certified board teachers here every year and the redesign means the candidates have the opportunity to pursue certification over one, two or 3 years so we have sort of a hitch in the process we have a limited number of folks this year next year we're expected one and 25 folks to show up for the certified teachers and 200 teachers right now that are pursuing a national certification open a 1, 2, 3 and this year we'll have more informed a couple of developments i think are worth pointing out so for my

of the teachers in the front roe right now for recertification 10 years ago it was often a solidarity process you may have been the only person in the school thinking of this certification and been over the course here in san francisco many more educators recognize the value of the process for the perform growth and development and what is interesting the group of educators are pursue board certification and we have over thirty schools 3 or more teachers pursuing the certification together and better than a half-dozen schools with largo than six or seven it is about culture change that a distinction in the way the process is viewed by educators and generally by the field so my

warmth congratulations for going through this process and in the second time and our certification for the teachers i congratulate you as well i think any public comment back to the superintendent thank you. >> thank you, dr. stevens. >> (clapping.) >> i did want to add a few boastful comments about our national board certified teachers and also throughout our district just a few statistics if our district 200 and 52 national certified board teachers higher than the national percentage of board sifrtsd teachers as doctor stevens said two hundred plus candidates more higher

concentration of our teachers are achieving this really difficult and very stenchly high standard of teaching so of our current candidates 55 percent that are serving what we call the tier 2 and 3 schools serving relatively high concentration of underserved school and students we're proud of that and this is an important and vital part of our overview criteria pathway from class room teachers they're a critical element of our pathways for the teachers they serve as mentor to student teachers and new teachers as well as leader at the district and throughout our district

level committees so the work i mentioned a little bit how odd we are by the lovely of effort that it takes to pursue and accomplish the certification to a little bit of a favor this portfolio requires many localities so they include rigorous tests deep analysis of students work, video recording of their practice, and articulation of the teachers choice and the rational for those choices lots of ways of deepening their practice and observing the students and giving feedback not for the faint of heart we have amp teachers in the district that are accomplishing that at this point i'm going to turn it over to sarah for the next part of

the recognition. >> thank you. superintendent sfusd has long vault the certification process both as a professional very powerful professional learning experience and also as a maker of accomplished teaching mayor ed lee and i would like to acknowledge the folks that have support this for the 10 of 33 years serving san francisco unified teachers and students. >> (clapping.) >> she has never wavered from her commitment to assuring the support for all students and all teachers and in certification in particular candidates support and also the firm belief and commitment to the growth continued growth and leadership of one certified civil service is not the end of the party the

program for the intersection of the program while those questions were addressed that evening the pac would like to revisit some of them with the board at this time many of the facility issues that emerged at ad hoc mentioned concerns for the students that are underserved and impacted by the our district gap in achievement and opportunities such as african-american and latino children and those with i p for example, the data shows the students are limited assess to the language pathways and pac members want to know what we do to support with i p to participate in language pathways especially, since disproportionate numbers of african-american and latinos get i p we recognize that several

challenges are identified sculpt of unintended consequences created by the assignment system and the district it contempt to interrupting the system and structure that portals the invasion found in the school, however, it is not always long time how the system shifts to approve to this point the data has demonstrated for years that african-american and latino students does not turn in their enrollment applications on time for the first round of school offers and yet the efforts to interrupt this trend are not obvious pac members latino what concrete actions support the strategies is the district addressing for support for the african-american and latinos to participate in the first rounds of enrollment applications to

shift that historical pattern we know those families don't participate in the first round of the enrollment the chances of african-american and latino students gaining language pathways is further compromised into the high demand that is available this ripple effect a contributing factor to the shockingly low numbers of african-american students enrolled if pathway programs across the district one and 3 to be exact through kindergarten and 12 grades pac members wonder what are we are doing to specifically increase the african-american participation during the immersion language program over the years the pac has heard in our community conversations that school community struggle to bridge across the differences

as students ethnicity and social economic background and home language specifically in schools where there is a dual educational pathways that is exhausted the segregation to be more pronounced during the pac conversations on racial equity we learned the community are receptive to generally have conversations about cultural differences as a moenz means to work towards unite many of the principles need tools and coaching to address school cultural and climate issues the pac made concrete recommendations on this matter and still want to know what is the support and tools our school leaders and community getting to engage dialogue and focus ton bridging across cultural

differences particularly in schools where the dual emerging programs to disrupt the isolation as we begin to explore the trade offs the pac is curious about how the solution to student assignment challenges might inform better discussion and what are the budget implications if any for resourcing some of the efforts the pac will continue to follow the conversations only student assignment as it moves forward. >> in november the pac shared with the board of education one of our priorities this year which to say alleviate sfusd concerns about transportation bans what we learned last year during our children and el cap stakeholders the talking pac that aware the committee met to

department to address the transportation needs especially for students that are struggling such foster placed outside the city and students that are absent and students in multiple schools traveling in transportation as transportation get underway the pac urges them to address the transportation options for families on treasure island and the impact on schools and participate and after-school programs activists consider creating pickups and drop off with the yellow bus routed to increase the ridership work, work with the increasing number of schools heard by school tripers and further expanding the muni bus lines hours and assessing the need for increased number of bus lines to meet the hours beyond the 10 identified

commissioners today they sat down with the district representative against a true a labor of love on valentine's day negotiating the terms of the next contract in these challenging times when the public education is under attack when many of the students feel threatened by the trump administration it is critical that sfusd find its way to stabilize the schools by offering a substantial raise to all the nurses and librarians to all the educators that love the work who show up to do the work in the class rooms regardless of conditions and digging into their pocket and consulting as napa and la jolla and they do it everyday the time is now to turn the situation around we learned last

week the district has vacancies for the next school year that is one out of every 7 teachers that is a crisis for the children we teach and a crisis for users and time to turn it around we got off to a good start looking at the budget but our el cap the parcel tax passes it is the first step we expect did district to continue to look under every rock to go towards side stabilization of our schools and bring our creative efforts to the disabled we know we're counting on you and collective goodwill of our 6200 members to apply to get the means to keep our educators in the unauthorized unit or community i want to let you know

access to the programs by introducing more introductory language programs that was a robust discussion about special education assessing our language programs as well so i'm hoping we can continue that very violent discussion thank you. >> thank you commissioner murase report if budget and business services commissioner norton and they met on february 1st, we heard commissioner murase and commissioner wynns resolution about the green memorial we passed forward to you with a positive recommendation we're going to hear for more and more about has a negligible impact of implementation we heard the chapter the committee gave that a positive recommendations and

heard an interesting presentation on the transportation department and you heard some things in the past report that were highlighted from that report i think that the biggest sort of how the transportation has ballooned in costs over the past years and big reason in transporting students to non-public schools fewer located within san francisco so that's definitely something that we've been watching and continue to be of concern and i did suggest that we have a cow at some that's right looking at the transportation policy and i know when you're looking to hire hire a transportation planner that would be helpful

and he actually think that may, in fact, have happened half fund by mta is that in the works i think maybe anyway i support that i think the committee supported that and heard a great presentation from the colleague on the governor's budget that was released shows revenues are slowing we need to be aware of that that will effect our budget in house here and the staff with is really starting to doing scenario planning i thought the presentation was great i recommend i think y'all got a copy i recommend you look at that that owls where we may need to make trade offs to understand what the trade offs are i believe that's it the next

sidewalk. >> i have to be careful not to walk the sidewalk. it is very hard. >> sometimes people get half way across the intersection. >> you have to be alert because there is always something coming up that you need to know about. >> i learned to listen to the traffic patterns. sometimes i notice the other pedestrians, they are crossing, on occasion, i have decided i'm going to cross, too. i get to the middle of the intersection, and i find out that the light has changed. >> we need to be able to work and go from one place to the

other and have public transportation. the world needs to be open. >> people on disability has the task of addressing all the disability. when we are talk about the sidewalks, ramps, we have very specific issues. for people blind and low vision, we have the issue of knowing where they are and when the cross. it can be hit or miss. >> at hulk and grove, that sound the the automatic -- it helps people cross the street safely. >> now we have a successful

pedestrian signal. >> i push the button, i get an audible message letting me know that i need to wait. when it is safe to cross, not only am i going to get an audible indicator, this button is going to vibrate. so it tells me it is safe. there is the driller sound and this trigger is vibrating. i am not relying on anything but the actual light change, the light cycle built into it.

>> it brings san francisco from one of the major cities in the u.s. to what is going to be the lead city in the country. >> city working on all sorts of things. we are trying to be new and innovative and go beyond the ada says and make life more successful for people. >> disability rights movement, the city has the overall legal obligation to manage and maintain the accessibility and right of way. with regards to the curb ramps, bounded by a groove border,

12-inch wide border. for people with low vision to get the same information. the shape of the domes, flush transition between the bolt bottom of the ramp and gutter. >> we have a beveled transition on the change in level, tape on the surfaces, temporary asphalt to fill in level changes, flush transition to temporary wood platform and ramp down into the street under the scaffoldinging. detectable ramps. they are all detectable. nothing down below or protruding that people are going to get snagged up on.

smooth clean that nobody is going get caught up on. >> our no. 1 issue is what we see here, the uplifting and shreufting to concrete due too street tree roots. here is another problem we have with street trees. if i have i was a person blind, this would be an uncomfortable way to find out. >> we don't want to create hazards. >> sometimes vendors put sidewalk cafes where people push the chairs too far out.

>> sometimes it can be impassable. so much foot traffic that there is no room for a wheelchair or walker to go by. >> san francisco is a lively street life, it can be an issue with people with visual disabilities as well. they have these diverting barriers on other side of this tables and chairs area. if people can find thraeur way around it without getting tangled up, it is still fully accessible. >> we don't want anything special. we want people to basically adhere to the regulations and laws as they are on the books now. people can also, just be

cognizant if they have stuff on the street, they thaoed to have 48 inches so we can pass, think outside your own spectrum of yourself that there are other people you need to share the sidewalk with. we will all get along better. >> although san francisco is a hilly place for a whraoel chair user, we seem to be better at most. that doesn't mean we can't continue to improve upon ourselves. >> the public has a clear are -- of travel. we can't be every to make sure that is the place. we have to rely on the place. call 311. give them your name.

that goes into a data base. >> it is difficult, still, um to make the case that the disabled community isn't being represented. in some ways we are not. we have a long way to go. >> the city of san francisco is using the most innovative technology available. these devices allow people to remain out in their communities, doing things like shopping. it is great to be able to walk as a pedestrian in this city and cross streets safely. >> the office of controllers whistle blower program is how city employees and recipient sound the alarm an fraud address

wait in city government charitable complaints results in investigation that improves the efficiency of city government that. >> you can below the what if anything, by assess though the club program website arrest call 4147 or 311 and stating you wishing to file and complaint point controller's office the charitable program also accepts complaints by e-mail or 0 folk you can file a complaint or provide contact information seen by whistle blower investigates some examples of issues to be recorded to the whistle blower program face of misuse of city government money equipment supplies or materials

water so that things either settle to the bottom or float to the top. you see we have a nice selection of things floating around there, things from bubble gum wrappers, toilet paper, whatever you dump down the toilet, whatever gets into our storm drains, that's what gets into our waste water treatment and we have to clean. >> see these chains here, this keeps scum from building up. >> on this end in the liquid end basically we're just trying to produce a good water product that doesn't negatively impact the receiving water so that we have recreation and no bad impact on fish and aquatic life. solids is what's happening. . >> by sludge, what exactly do you mean? is that the actual technical term? .

>> it's a technical term and it's used in a lot of different ways, but this is organic sewage sludge. basically what it is is, oh, maybe things that come out of your garbage disposal, things that are fecal in nature. it's sludge left in the water after the primary treatment, then we blend those two over and send them over to digestion. this building is built to replace tanks here that were so odoriferous they would curl your hair. we built this as an interim process. >> is there a coagulant introduced somewhere in the middle of this? . >> this coagulant brings solids together and lets the water run through.

that gives us more time in the digestion process, more time to reduce the amount of solids. these are the biggest ones in the world, like we always like to do in san francisco. they are 4 meter, there's none like it in the world. >> really? wow. >> three meters, usually. we got the biggest, if not the best. so here we are. look at that baby hum. river of sludge. >> one of the things is we use bacteria that's common in our own guts to create this reduction. it's like an extra digestion. one of the things we have to do to facilitate that is heat that sludge up and keep it at the temperature our body likes, 98.6 degrees. >> so what we have here is the heat exchanger for digester no. 6. these clog up with debris and we're coming in to -- next wet

weather season so we always come through here, clean them out, make sure that we get maximum heat exchange during the colder wet weather. sludge season. >> rubber glove. >> right here. >> rubber glove, excellent. all right, guys. >> thank you. >> good luck. >> this is the full on hazmat. . >> residual liquid. we're taking it time to let it drain. we don't want to get sludge on it necessarily. take your time. stand on the side of it. . >> should we let it release for a while? . >> let it release. >> is that the technical term? . >> this is the most important

bolt on the whole thing. this is the locking bolt. it locks this thing right in place. so now. >> take your hammer and what we want to do, we get rag build up right in here. the hot water recirculates right in here, the sludge recirculates in here. the sludge sometimes has rags in it. all we want to do is go around the clean the rags. let me show you how. take the slide hammer, go all the way through the back, go around. >> got you. >> during the real rainy season, how does that change the way dealing with this job? is it a lot more stuff in there? . >> what we do, charles, we do this quarterly. every four months we go around and clean all the heat

exchangers so we don't have a large build up. . >> go around? . >> yeah. (sound of hammering). >> what i'm trying to do, charles, is always pull it out on the low stroke. >> right. so you are not, like, flying out. now talk about clean up. . >> then where does this stuff get deposited? . >> we're going to dump it in a debris box and it will go back to the plant.

>> if you think back, the romans came up with a system of plumbing that allowed us it use water to transport waste away from the hub of civilization, which enabled cities to grow. . >> you have a large bowl, a drive motor and another motor with a planetary gearbox with differential pressure inside there. the large mass up there spinning separating the solids from the liquid. we have to prevent about once a month, we go in there grease those, change the oil, check the vibration levels. the operators can tell just by the hum of that machine that it's a harmonic noise emitted that it's out of balance and the machine needs to be cleaned. it will start vibrating and we

have vibration analysis machines that will come over here and check the levels. so it's kind of an on-going thing that you have to stay on top of on a daily basis. >> handled properly, you take organic residuals, as we call them, that are leftovers of our society and turn them back into some energy. and we have another ability to take that sludge and get a nutrient value for crops there. we actually are running a kind of composting energy recovery system. >> well, this is a dirty job. we try to do it safely and we try to do it without imposing too much on the public. people want to flush their toilets and have things go away and not be bothersome again. we do a lot to try to accomplish that. i'd like to invite you to come back any time you want.

once you got this in your blood, you are not going to be able to stay away. the raging waters are fun and when we do digester cleaning i really hope you can come back. that's quite a sight. >> yeah, that sounds interesting. >> i really appreciate you coming by and it was a . >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
