the voters and thousands more people to determine the fate of vacancies on the board of supervisors and in the mayor's office. let's elect our elected official back. restore faith in city government and ensure voters have the ability to choose the mayor and the board of supervisors. there will be questions about the latest amendment for this measure. this amendment, the amendments [speaker not understood], i think the original version had any vacancy in any office. this is actually a measure that's between supervisors and the mayor's office. so, with the vacancy in the -- on the board of supervisors, the mayor would still have the ability to appoint an interim supervisor, but that supervisor would not be able to run -- term limited and would not be able to run in that special election. could run in future elections, but not in that special election. what is important to note is that this is pretty consistent with what the expectation was when we voted to select ed lee for interim mayor in 2011. ed lee was not going to run for supervisor, not going to run for mayor, but it would be just an interim mayor only.

the legislative branch. but that separation of power breaks down when there is a vacancy in the office of the mayor or on the board of supervisors. when there is a vacancy in the office of the mayor our executive branch, the board of supervisors, our legislative branch, unilaterally appoints a new mayor, an interim mayor. and then when there is a vacancy on the board of supervisors, the mayor unilaterally appoints a member of our branch. this proposes a simple solution to [speaker not understood]. let the voters elect our electses officials in democratic special elections ~. this measure is not about any existing mayor or any existing supervisor. the most recent member of our board katy tang, supervisor katy tang, had credentials, great experience in the neighborhood, knows her way around here, is an obvious person to serve on the board of supervisors. when it came to selecting mayor ed lee for the interim mayor of 2011, i was one of the persons who voted in favor of mr. lee. my concern was at that time was the process, how a small group of people could make decisions that really should be handled by thousands of

the result really shows. i think that many of you will remember this office was really struggling dealing with domestic violence cases. and thanks to the mayor's office and the board, the da's office was given additional resources to deal with domestic violence. and within a short period of time we're seeing a significant results. we're seeing a dropping of 37% in the cases that are being dropped, and that directly reflects the service of the victims. and we see an increase in the conviction rate by 38%. and, again, this is important to look behind the curtain. there is a belief cases are going to be prosecute nod matter what. the result is going [speaker not understood]. we feel if the lawyers do not have the time to work the cases and victim services and investigators cannot work with the victims, often many people, they should be held accountable for their behavior and are not. i think this is a really good example of why it is important to ensure that in our criminal justice system we're resourcing the police which we have to do, but also our prosecutors because the two come together. when there is an imbalance in the work load within the da's office, at the e

and if you prefer not to wait, as we have all week, we have set up a computer in the clerk of the board's office, room 244, to allow individuals to send written comments to the committee for their consideration. again, i want to thank everybody in advance for your patience during this process to ensure that everybody has an opportunity to get their public comments heard. and i do want to thank you all for being here today and for your participation. so, with that, mr. clerk, can you call items 1 through 2? and you need to call 3 through 25? >> i need to call all the items. >> let's call them. >> item number 1, proposed annual budget and appropriation ordinance appropriating all estimated receipts and all estimated expenditures for selected departments of the city and county of san francisco as of june 2, 2014, for the fiscal years ending june 30, 2015, and june 30, 2016. item number 2, proposed annual salary ordinance enumerating positions in the annual budget and appropriation ordinance for the fiscal years ending june 30, 2015, and june 30, 2016, continuing, creating, or establishing these pos

recognizing the board of supervisors is committed to this as is the mayor's office. and to the point that the supervisor made in terms of this really being the beginning, we agree with that. we this i that the work of really defining how we in fact build additional affordable housing and stabilize our community is a priority for our office as well. we commit absolutely to exploring these options with the supervisor and looking forward to put forth something that the mayor and board of supervisors can be proud of. we look forward to working together to find solutions to respond to the housing needs of all city of san franciscans. thank you. >> any other? is there any public comment on this item? seeing none? yes, i see somebody. c'mon up. >> thank you, supervisors. my name fernando with the community of housing organizations. it's very nice to be here and after a lot of sleep less nights. i think what's really encouraging is that supervisor kim stepped up to really try to see how we would accomplish a goal of one thirds of all new housing to be affordable for people o

the mayor's office. and so, on the leadership, point, with the chief data officer that the board of supervisors created we are in working group, process to try to figure out that we make sure that we get the data and utilize her position to understand what is happening. and the city services auditor who i know that we have met. >> and so, one of the suggestions that you made was that you needed data. but it sounds like that is something that is already happening so that is something that we can almost skafp off of our list in terms of a recommendation of what we can do? >> i wouldn't take it off the list, just because the way that the mayor's office thinks about this problem it is so big and complex is that we need a partnership with the board of supervisors and data gathering and getting the right data is a long process. and they hold it in different ways and so anymore information and i have been authorized to work with the different department heads on all of these different issues but maybe the best next step is six months and report back on what am i doing with the mayor's office doing on each of the

the officer on the floor will tell me which cells are empty. that should coincide with what i have got on the board. >> officer joernigan is the only armed correctional officer in the building. >> it's strictly for if they try to take over the control center. if the control center was taken over, they could open up every one of the cells and nobody could stop them from it. >> code this property into the property room. >> these inmates have been transferred to the castle due to offenses committed in other state facilities. >> here i am, a medium-security inmate in a maximum-security penitentiary. i'm just a basic criminal, you know, petty thief, drug abuser. i'm supposed to be in a drug treatment center, not no maximum-security prison. >> the keys and done. >> yeah. >> okay, you all going to -- >> what's your name, man? >> my name's -- >> all right. >> what you need? >> 1x top, 2x bottom. all right. underwear. >> 36. >> james dunn is serving life without parole for murder. >> i want you to squat down and cough twice. all right. i need to see the bottom of your feet. all right. >> prison policy manda

i represent police officers, firefighters deputy sheriff's and other employees from the appeals board and the city's retirement system. i have noted an extraordinary difference between my representation of the deputies sheriff's and the san francisco police officers and san franciscos before the retirement board and that's because deputy sheriff's by virtue of being apart of the retirement system -- they join the same presumption that we're asking the board to give to our firefighters and police officers. i would like to bring to your attention, there's three types of retirement systems in california. the 1937 county's act which applies to 20 counties in california. the public employees retirement system which applies to the vast majority of public safety officers in the state of california and small independent systems such as ourselves. for 20 years, firefighters and police officers who are in public retirement system have received and obtained what we're asking in fairness inequity that police officers and firefighters receive. when you say president chiu this is a city of saint fr

we have plenty of time between now and fiscal year to work with the board the mayor's office to figure out how to best close that gap, and that's what i would recommend. >> and i'm going to be supportive of moving the bond forward today. it has to sit for a week, is that right? but i did have questions and i know many others would like to know, one is there are a number of projects within the dlf funds allegations that are bond eligible and the question is, is this bond flexible enough to accommodate those dlf projects and how deeply can we search for projects like cal trans like mel assessment district for downtown and they pay their fair share given that they'll benefit from the transit improvements in the transit center area. number three, what commitments can the mta and the mayor can back field the gaps by the blf given the mayor stated support. lastly, i'll do my best that my office and i are following up with you and fill the hole, but thank you for the presentation. >> thank you. in terms of flexibility of the different projects, there are some thing that's were proposed for th

policy recommendations and we did that internally and had debate with the members of the board and the mayor's office and it's really a testament to the best public policy coming from public debate. so the children and families first initiative is a powerful piece of legislation. like i said, clear statement about the commitment to the next generation and making sure families with stay here and thrill and can have access to critical services that help take ma make that possible. we're proud that 75% of the children funding community coalition's recommendations are included in the final initiative, including the removal of the trigger and in-kind contribution for pef, a longer planning cycle, more oversight for the children and youth funds and increase in that fund and inclusion of disconnected te aerre. and we know that critical services for children youth and familis will be protected and sustained in the city of san francisco. so on behalf of the coalition, we just want to thank supervisor yee, supervisor avalos and supervisor kim, as well as the entire board who are now cosponsoring this legislati

where the seats are and vacancies are, there are appointments by both the board and the mayor and i think that both the mayor's office and the board of supervisors would be wise to figure out how we can get him to serve on that commission. i want to thank everyone for coming out and, again, to all three applicants, very impressive and thank you for wanting to serve san francisco. >> okay, thank you. is there a motion? >> motion to sends steven lee to the entertainment position, seat number two with positive recommendation to the fulg board of supervisors. >> okay. without any objections then the motion is moved, is passed. congratulations.

the board of education for ratification in august of this year. the last item is we discussed the appointment process for the community advisory committee for essential education. the -- our committee reviewed the current appointment for office which was discussed a bit at our last board meeting. the appointment process is governed by the education code so it's outlined in the district's plan, and so that plan, which was revised in june 2007 is currently being updated. and what the next steps are around that is to coordinate with the administration and the community and the advisory committee itself to ensure the updated plan is consistent where practical with the district board policy 2020 governing our citizen advisory committee. it's an ongoing process for us with the advisory committee itself. we want to headache sure all our advisory committees are to the extent possible governed by 2012, but obviously this [inaudible] gofrned in a different way so that's a process of working with our general council, as well as staff and committee itself to make sure to the extent possible we're able to align those policies. >> thank you commissioner haney. and may we please have a report from the billings and ground services committee
