they provide resource information as well. the police about his record is something that was brought to san francisco, using members of the community to get the word out. we do have a community assessment and referral center where we refer the youth to the center with information that is needed, including office complaints and asian caucus with nonprofit organizations on knowing the rights for youth. i will speak briefly about the investigation in the apartment.

they provide resource information as well. the police about his record is something that was brought to san francisco, using members of the community to get the word out. we do have a community assessment and referral center where we refer the youth to the center with information that is needed, including office complaints and asian caucus with nonprofit organizations on knowing the rights for youth. i will speak briefly about the investigation in the apartment. we have a memorandum of understanding that forges the partnership. sexual assault victims, we provide information with child abuse and exploitation, working closely with child protective services. domestic violence, we have a variety of services that we hand out on a daily basis. as a matter of fact we have advocates that work at the hall of justice. right there in the office with us. we have the new visa program that we're working with so that we can extend to people that are victims of crimes. the elder abuse, of course, we spoke about the forensic center and we have

training when they have, provided to victims and for roll-call in the setting. we have release stepped up on training with regards to cultural awareness, diversity training, language access cards. for example, in the victims' rights bill, when it was put into law in 2008, we called for services. one of the things i would like to point out is that we have a comprehensive policy that is progressive requiring officers, when encountering a person that lights began language other than english, getting a certified interpreter to help with this. we have access to about 140 languages through the language line if necessary. we also have officers with language personnel if needed. , including english, spanish, and chinese. a question was posed -- where are the gaps. one of the reasons we are here today is to talk about the services and how we can come together to make sure that we are communicating and working together. one of the gaps of wanted to point out was technology. you might have mentioned where we might be able to track all the resources available to us through

overview of the services provided to victims of crime. the san francisco police department currently provides a variety of resources and the context in which we provide services is related to our mission to protect the public. the department utilizes many resources and make referrals to outside departments and other agencies on a daily basis. each unit makes referrals on a case by say -- case by case basis, depending on the need or type of crime investigated. an example of the referrals and resources available to the public, talking about the victim's bill of rights when completing crime reports, every officer has available to them the distributed following inappropriate. that is actually the form that talks about the victims' assistance program, domestic abuse situation

they provide resource information as well. the police about his record is something that was brought to san fr

we provide. but some of the other things that probably are less well recognized is homeless people wind up in the emergency room, lots of times, repeated times a year. that's very expensive for society, because we all, as taxpayers, pay for that. they wind up in jail, and to incarcerate someone is very expensive. so the costs of a homeless person just being allowed to continue in homelessness is very high for society, and some studies have estimated it may be 30-to-40-some thousand dollars a year per person. and some people, if they're repeatedly hospitalized, are costing society tremendous costs, well over $100,000 a year. and, conversely, you know, if we were able to assess, as dr. clark has mentioned, find them some permanent housing, and what other aspects are necessary. employment? well, we haven't talked about that, and i think that is important. i think many homeless people have the potential to get back into the workforce. in our studies, most of the people, on average, have been employed

the regulars provide something.would be to look at the entire portfolio of the borrower, in this case, mercy housing of california, and we looked at that. but mercy's portfolio itself is so deeply affordable, and it has so much soft debt on it already that we couldn't get there by going that direction. we also looked at reducing the scope to a much lower level to again try to meet this requirement. we weren't going to be able to do that and still obtain the state and tax credit money. if they come in, they put the building way over the 95% ratio. looking at this smaller scope proved to not be feasible. the building is fairly old. it has been owned by the st. vincent paul society for a long time. we have a plan to bring it back into full service with long-term assistance from the public health department.

>> it is our policy, when we respond, we are required to provide resource information. i do not have independent knowledge to say that i incident -- certain areas we are or are not, but i know that we see it being done and i have witnessed it in the field. whether it is domestic violence or financial crimes, the officers are quick to reach into their books and pockets to pass this information out. we have made it so simple for them that we have put together small versions of information to fit in there citation book. i believe that we are giving out the information. supervisor chiu: i would love to get a copy of this so that i can get an idea of what is being distributed. as distributed to many victims in town, i am aware that this document is provided and there is nothing in. about where they can go in the city in terms of getting information from our agencies. >> today i will have a package in the office regarding information. supervisor chiu: there has been much discussion about the protocols around sex crimes, financial crimes, particular kinds of egregious crimes w

if you provide documents to the committee please provide one to the clerk for influential into the final. it will appear on the board of supervisors agenda on september 14, 2010 unless other weiss stated. commissioner avalos: please call item number one. >> item number one, resolution authorizing the san francisco department of public health, community behavioral health services to enter into a negotiated amount and drug medical recommitment with the state of department of alcohol and drug program. commissioner avalos: very good. do we have a presentation from d.p.h.? >> good morning, supervisors. i'm dr. alice glickhorn, i am the county alcohol and drug administrator. this is our funding for medical from the state. it comes in the form of a three-year agreement. the negotiated net amount. the combined amount is approximately $60 million. and i'm happy to answer any questions that we have on this. >> great, thank you. mr. rhodes, share with us the report. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee, this agreement with the state is required. it would provide reimbursement to the department

provide fund to help them. i was surprised about involved with michael's group another outstanding program. for us to engage in disaster recovery from the standpoint things will be better when we get there. we provide what's called public safety training. that's if you have a wire down or a gas leak what do you do as a citizen? as a neighbor? as a community. we provide that training from the standpoint of safety. that's the bottom line of what we are trying to do is to create a safe environment. the folks that are available to provide the training across the city here but we provide it to emergency responders, local law enforcement, fire services. we provide it to community groups themselves. if it's a community group a safe group and/or nert group we will provide that training for individuals. the other as an organization for us to take care of business during an emergency. for us to take care of your needs to get power on, we have to have aggressive emergency response planning for our employees. we have 20,00

there are providers of smaller loans and providers of larger loans, but that sweet spot is missing. i am going to move on to commercial corridor revitalization. i found that our space programming is a strength. it enables us to reach out to a lot of businesses that we wouldn't otherwise reach. but we have a problem communicating about the neighborhood marketplace initiative. that limits our ability to leverage the success of that program. i also found there is no universal city-wide program for tracking and filling vacancies. i thought that was a key point. so those are my mindings. i have made a number of recommendations based on the findings. i am going to quickly go through those. first, improve the quality and accessibility of assistance. eowd knees to establish universal tools and standards for the providers. we need to encourage the grantees to do more outreach of owners of small businesses, rather than just serving people who want to start new ones. second, ensure a wide variety of loan products to small business owners. so in order to meet this goal, we need to first do rese

nor did the fbi say provide any. the agencies were prepared to invoke the systemic risk exception to allow the fdic to provide extraordinary assistance if needed to reduce the provincial efforts of a face for wachovia failure on the economy. that party was not and faq's, and mccaw violist is all planned acquisition by wells fargo without extraordinary government assistance. to understand is, it is a born to understand the context. at the end of the second quarter 2008, wachovia was the fourth largest banking organization in the united states with assets of approximately $812 billion. wachovia had experience significant losses during a period of extreme financial turbulence in distress. the nation's economy was in recession with housing prices declining and economic growth stalled. the financial system was also deteriorating quickly. within the four weeks leading up to the sale of wachovia, fannie mae and freddie mac were placed it to receive it -- to conservatorship, lehman brothers filed for bankruptcy, at efforts b

, since we are providing the same service to both agencies. but since they are separate federal agencies they have separate requirements. we negotiate overall the fee of $4.30 million. they came back to us and told us what their payments were going to be. that distribution was decided from their standpoint, the federal government. it was not decided on hours. we just figured out the fixed price combined, and move forward from there. to tell you what one pays 70% or whatever it might be, that would be a question for the national park service or presidio trust. chairperson avalos: but the total combined fees on an annual basis is what you were trying to achieve and was provided by the federal government. >> that is correct. chairperson avalos: thank you. we can open this item for public comment. any members of the public that would like to comment on these three items, 8 to 10, please come forward. >> my name is jeff dice. i am the chief operating officer at the presidio trust. we look forward to the day when the san francisco fire department ca

in our budget, we provide all projected available sources and we made our best attempt to try to provide the state whatever they needed. what we assumed of $20 million of sources, the state has said at the very soonest this will not be issued until september, 2011. we have taken the existing plan, the project would stay exact -- exactly the same that we have moved the proceeds up a couple of years and projected the grant proceeds that will leave those trailing a couple of years until we next visit the plant, you will see that the numbers are still similar but the timing of the grid vs. the revenue bond in basically provides a substitution of those two sources. over the 10-years, the same number of bonds, the same number of grants. the appropriations substitution is required because on the source cited the budget, even though the use is the same, another is slightly different because of the revenue bond verses the grant. when we do these, we have financing costs. we would be able to keep our existing rates just as they are through 20-14 -- through 2014. we are always reviewing the project

although you could say that they'd have to provide it offsite. if you're going to alou it to be residential streets, then we could actually ask for it to be offsite, not be on the property, right? i think that would make a lot more sense. nobody wants them to build a garage for a car share space but if there's a concern that there isn't readily accessible cars in the area, maybe we we would want to deal with it that way by saying that you don't have to provide it or the option was to provide it in the neighborhood, notting in. >> -- not within the building. something more attentive so you can deal with both. >> yes, they would be -- currently now you could allow the car share requirement by providing a car share space within a quarter -- quarter-mile radius. sometimes it may be difficult to procure that sight. commissioner borden: would it make sense for this legislation to say if it's a preference that we conet want to require car share but should the building want to have car share, then do it within a quarter-mile radius not with property? i'm

we look to make sure that the identity of the provider is an active provider, not someone who is dead, for example. we look to make sure that he acted beneficiary in our system, making sure that the service being billed is covered by medicare, and so forth. this new technology will also allow us to look at other things. we're setting up lists of beneficiaries whose medical identity has been stolen. beacon check it against those lists. ofre looking at lists suspicious billing patterns, where things do not match against each other. we're looking at list of medical conditions that do not fit with each other. we're moving in a very strategic and cautious way. we are committed to doing this and to keeping the bad guys out that you heard about this morning while making sure that we have the legitimate, honest providers in the system. we want to make sure that we hold back on payments when they should not be made and that we continue to make payments when they should be made. the biggest task ahead of us, a flavor of what we're doing at the centers for medicare and medicaid agencies, to move

. >> i'll provide you with the math. the calculation but that's where the hundred billion dollars came from. it wasn't totalling of proposals but a target based on what we thought we needed to get war fighting constituted 3% which is what history tell use, you need to continue upgrades and training and personnel. the bulk of your question was on audited financial statements. >> and sustainable systems. >> that's where i was going actually. the most important piece is not an audit in my mind. the most important piece is management information systems that the audit provides just a test of. we're committed that. it is as i'm sure you well understand given your background. somewhat different than the private sector. the goal here is not providing information to investors but ensuring the tax pairs money is well spent. for that reason we have focused our upgrading management systems doing with budget resources. we're trying focus on the most important information. as you indicated, this is a monmom mammoth job. >> we had thi

that includes providing robust and direct support for our teachers and our students. in order to best access the content in those standards, we know that a large part of our student population we are hoping to support includes a lot of differentiation we need to be effective at providing. therefore, aspect that allow master plan, we have a dedication to completing, which includes english development time on all of our master schedules. then we begin to have deep conversations around instructional practices to differentiate for those students. the second essential question our superintendent often speaks about -- once we have come to terms with defining what our students want to learn, how is learning being measured and what are the results? we are putting into place a work around in measuring performance, which is a range and battery of assessments -- everything from diagnostic testing in the classrooms to school-developed rubrics as well as the benchmark assessments our district is going to be putting into place. all of those tools are going to help to monitor studen

they have been providing us with support to provide a needs assessment in the tenderloin to better understand the health care needs. the proposed location provides a platform for cpmc to expand existing programs and i see that their long-term engagement with us and are theses in the tenderloin will ensure that cpmc is attentive to community needs. president miguel: jane martha. >> good afternoon, commissioners, joseph smith, coalition for health planning, san francisco. breaking down simply that cpmc has four campuses which are basically hospitals with associated services. what cpmc plans to do is phase out the california campus, concentrate outpatient services at their pacific campus and concentrate inpatient services at the new facility at van ness and geary on cathedral hill. the description of st. luke's, however, in the project plan, focuses on a new medical building and a new hospital building that is significantly smaller than the existing hospital. what we see in the d.i.r. is that there is no vision for st. luke's, no anchor. functionally, it reads as though it is an access point for

>> we have provided training.ome of them have allowed us to go in to their schools to demonstrate the program. almost all the schools in the city are visited at least once per year. they talk about the online program and what it can do for the students and how they can use it. supervisor avalos: every school has a library as well, hookups for computer technology. it seems like the librarians and the schools could find a good place for those as well? >> yes. supervisor avalos: great. supervisor chu: are there any members of the public that wish to speak on item number one? >> good morning. my name is douglas shepard and i have lived in san francisco for 15 years. i would like to speak in support of this. i think it is something that is noteworthy and i would like to make a suggestion that four students who are kind of close to dropping out of school, i think that this sort of program should be offered in writing to the parents of students and that the school should get a written reply as to whether that student is

i have provided these in your packet.s also a roster of the 25 domestic violence agencies that we fund. we also provide staff support to the family violence council, which focuses on child abuse, elderly abuse, and we provide staff support to city organizations. secondly, what do i see as gaps? the first is language competency of first responders. we went into this in our 2006 safety and accountability audit. the full audit is available on the website. as reported previously, we have worked with the office of language services, which concluded a master contract with language mind to offer telephone interpretation in 150 officers to police officers responding to calls for service. we concluded bridges to freedom, a 16-week language training program, offered in chinese and spanish, looking to improve their use of the english language. this was a one time use program. 92% satisfaction from this program. what i observed was city employees really deserved -- enjoyed the opportunity to improve on their chinese and spanish langu

that is not provided to the indigent defense providers. federal grants are almost all directed toward prosecution and law enforcement. so the problem to have vast resources that i'm facing right now is that you have grant funding the police department, the sheriff's deft, the district attorney's office. there is a share that -- etc., etc. that share, which for them is a portion of their funding is almost my entire funding so when you say you're going to cut 13% off everybody equally. well, 13% for us is more than 13% of their entire budget than for the other agencies. now the problem is that's the ripple effect we just had here. now they still have their investigators because they have other agencies that provide the investigation. we don't. our investigators are the ones that have to be trimmed off because we can't pay for them. our attorneys, again, they are paid for by the county. we have to cut back our attorneys. meanwhile, the prosecution, yes, they may have to cut back the attorneys. there are a lot of attorneys still being funded b

and these sort of provided the framework for our discussions. and the main one i want to emphasize is to make sure that neighborhoods develop with a balanced set of infrastructure. when i walk through the policy, you will see there are mechanisms to make sure that in-kind agreements don't result in an overabundance of one kind of infrastructure with a deficit of the other. for example, streetscape improvements and child care centers are easy to see happen through in-kind agreements and we want to see those happen and so our policies and procedures talk to that issue. we also want to make sure that the work that the cac and the city is doing and you have heard about the the showplace open square planning process and with the market octavia circulation study and is moving forward on priority projects and want the in-kind agreements not to jeopardize the projects and that is in the policy as well. and also we want to make sure we're providing this opportunity to developers. so we want to take advantage of time when a developer providing the infrast

this is material we have been providing -- that we are providing and keeping as part of the mta traffic company. i am trying to get back up to speed because i left in 2006. i just came back last saturday. i will be trying to get back up to speed on everything in terms of technology. i am going to be able to present more complete data and more complete statistics. supervisor chu: right now, you said two incidents retract now are collisions and citations? -- we track now are collisions and citations? >> i can give that to the committee. supervisor chu: ok. >> unless there is any other questions? chairperson mar: there are a couple the public raised. one of the findings is that enforcement is often lax. that is one of the findings. susan king mentioned she is the defending point of view from the advisory committee, feeling that the one size fits all approach is not something that would help improve safety. i am curious what your response is to the "often lacks" comment -- "often lax" comment. >> there is a medium someplace. there is a perception we are too heavy handed and a perception tha

we also provide a host of other services. we have a psychiatric clinic, we work with children and adolescents, we have a huge housing program. so there's really a range of services that we offer here at the agency. i didn't know what direction i was in. i didn't know what's going to happen to me. i, i was on the verge of giving up life and everything, until community connections decided to take me in. there's people in here that know my name and know me, and i don't even know them, but i always hear them call my name out.

now, those routes will go deeper, providing a foundation for growth, prosperity, and opportunity for our economy. today, i'm very honored to be joining mayor gavin newsom. again, without his leadership, this would not have been possible. he was relentless, as he always is. using all the new technologies to make sure that we were never off the radar, grid, or any other screen in terms of moving this along. again, as i said, the foundation that was led by previous scenarios. now, these roots go deeper, and it is a sign of signing this endorsement agreement today, we ensure that this site will remain a source of jobs for our community for decades to come. all of you who played a role in this should take great satisfaction that part of your legacy of public service went to something that the mayor calls a big deal, a very big deal for our community, for our country. in closing, i just want to salute the navy for keeping treasure island safe for us so that we could come to this day of transition to civilian use that is also a sign of the strength of our country. thank you all very much.
