we're going to keep moving forward. >> i don't think they need to take action on dcyf. thank you very much. we're next going to hear from sheriff's hennessey as well as mr. christian holland. they are not in agreement. and there are several points we're going to touch on. materials and supplies, non personal services, prior years appropriation and community based organization. >> thank you. i appreciate that. good morning, everybody, and i did want to -- gave a shout out at beginning, i think sophia kitler, she did a great job organizing and sending us all the information. i don't know who she is but she's listening. i'm sorry to break your streak of no arguments and the first time i've come here with some arguments so number one i think it's important to know that we fully expect to expend our current budget this year. i don't think we will have a balance left at all and our new budget has no new f.t.e.s included in it. we have 1.8 million above last year that accounts for a small cola, 1.2 million for pretrial division which is really not enough and 650,000 the sherif

but i am looking at these dcyf results and the service for 2013. >> it is not that across the board. so i think when we see these type of things that i got to see it broken down because there is actually your measure also in what you are doing. so i think this does not reflect what you are trying to do because it's true once you see the data you can't see, some kids need more than others and so just to see that when we see this type of data i was allowed to see it just sort of pieced out. i think that's really important. >> all right. thank you. one last question and then we need to move on because ingrid has to get her kid. i'm sure you all can understand. >> sure. >> in your budget, your draft -- >> thank you supervisor. it's great to be here. yes, all of the staff are in a specific project. >> they are proposed that are funded by the school district. those two positions are filed by the district employees. if they were a city department we would have done a transfer of function. they are not so they should not have full. >> this was 2014, i believe, but we've had this effort going

somebody else that's doing that. >> yeah, 100% for sfusd, and i think you're working with cfbo and dcyf. >> yeah, we're the only vendor for dcyf, as well. >> i think part of what i wonder about, too is just the ability to ib expect and investigate schools kind of more regularly. to commissioner merase's point, and i think all of us feel the same way, it's unacceptable when students receive meals that are unidentifiable or are -- you know, if fruits are coming bruised or if milk is warm. i don't know where the responsibility lies for warm milk because i imagine it's delivered and then, you know, we store it until lunch, but you know, the quality of fruit should be given to every student no matter where they're located, and i just want to know how -- if you already do regular inspections and drop ins. and then, for the schools that have been mentioned, you know, i do want -- i do want us to investigate further on what we are hearing, and you know, even though they're from -- they're across the city for a variety of reasons -- not everybody's going to like whatever is served -- i have alle

igh m be a question for you and dcyf. in terms of foster kids, part of -- part of what i know is one of the best things for a foster child is to have a court assigned at r-- advocate. we'v been trying to get more mentors, they're called counselors, to help out with the kids. and i'm finding out their role is more important now that we're finding many kids are being placed out of the city, and the separation of whatever they had connected to -- in the city is less and less. what are your -- what is your organization doing to help support that effort -- and i know we had this discussion several years ago. i have the question why dcyf didn't fund them. >> we do work very closely with casa, the court appointed special advocate for kids. our associates are working very closely with the casa volunteers in providing support for the chiren. ca volunteers, are, depending on the situation, allowed to participate in the child and family team meetings, which is also a requirement under ab 403. this is for any life changing moment in

the majority of the funding that we allocate to the school district flows through dcyf on the way to the school district. i think they'll be presenting later this week, and if you olave questions regarding district funding, that's probably the best place to speak to it. >> supervisor cohen: all right. thank you. does that conclude your presentation? all right. appreciate it. colleagues, are there any quess for mr. rosenfield? if not, we'll keep moving on. ben, just wanted you to know that presentation was about 30 seconds. you're going to get a gold star r thatxt we a're going to hear from the civil service commission, mr. michael brown. they are focused on providing fair and equitiable opportunities for all current and prospective employees for ane francisco. it's particul focused on implicit bias in hiring. the total b if i'm not mistaken is $1.3 million. let's see: of that 1.3 million, 1 million is for salary and benefits. the floor is yours. welc >> so good morning, supervisors, and malia, and also, the controller's office, and it's been a pleasure to serve with the civil service

and dcyf, we will see you tomorrow. >> madam chair? >> supervisor cohen: yes. >> ben rosenfield, i would ask that you make a motion to accept the department's recommendations, and that'll allow us to act on it as he go. >> supervisor cohen: folks, i'll introduce a motion if there's no discussion. the motion to accept the budget and legislative analyst's recommended cuts. i saw a second from supervisor jeff sheehy. may we take this without objection? all right. we will take this without objection. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. what's next? okay. we've got -- i want to call up h.s.a. h.s.a., we'll hear your b.l.a. report. >> chair cohen, members of the committee, for the human services agency, the budget and legislative analyst's recommended reductions to the proposed budget total 1,701,295. of that -- sorry. okay. of the 1,701,295 in 18-19, 1,601,295 are ongoing savings and 100,000 are one time saves. these reductions would still allow an increase of 5.8% in the department's 18-19 budget. budget and legislative analy . >> s

and although -- i mean, i feel like many of these services were cut during this dcyf budget cycle, so i'm just looking to enhance that pot a little bit. and then, domestic violence folks, and i think that we made a very good case about how they are the first -- first people, quite frankly, over the police that the community calls because there's such deep trust, and i think there's need for more money for that. and of course, we did -- >> supervisor cohen: supervisor, before you go on, there's -- there's one thing that i had some questions about -- about some subsidies. how -- how is it taken care of in the rebalancing act? this is specifically for the homeless? >> supervisor fewer: so yeah. the rebalancing act, i think, focused -- this is why i didn't put a lot of k things into my priority list because actually, the rebalancing act covered a lot of the tay act. i think when i look at housing subsidies, these are for seniors and people with disabilities. if i'm not mistaken, the rebalancing act was general housing subsidies for people in general, homeless people in general. >> supervi

we're doing those trainings with different departments as well as working specifically with oewd, dcyf, and -- oh, somebody else. something that left my mind, unfortunately. but to do trainings with their service providers. so what does that look like to support them, to be able to serve their clients and to understand the role that -- where they live or what they look like might play in terms of how they receive services. >> supervisor fewer: okay, thank you very much. >> i have a question for you, what are your revenue streams? are there grants and federal dollars, state dollars? can you talk a little bit about that? >> yeah, we get general fund dollars for our department but outside of that and in terms of a lot of the work that we are doing in community, this year we'll have funding from the event that we hosted at cornell west and we raised money from that. and we get money from the san francisco foundation and from the silicon valley foundation this year. and i'm working with about 10 other foundations to see about them supporting some of the work. the programs that these young p

>> currently, we are allotted around 100 -- less than $100,000 by dcyf. we also do grants, as well, to supplement, and we have been looking both in the public and private sector to makeup budget deficits. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. >> thank you. >> good morning. my name is lehe montano. usually when i'm here, i speak from my heart, but right now, i'm really, really upset and sad and angry that we get this cut. this is outreach city, and we did not continue to treat our people this way, and so i'm going to need the help of this. i'm here because they all ask is important, but i'm here representing seniors and people with disabilities, so i wanted to emphasize the right rental subsidies for seniors and people with disabilities. she wants to talk. tell them what they have to do. tell them that they have to be fair, that they have to listen to us. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. can you, camilla. next speaker, please. >> hi. my name is lauren. i'm from advancing justice asian law caucus, a member of a.p.i. council. 42% of a.p.i.'s in san francisco are li

to families in crisis, and it is happening because of your leadership and because the leadership of dcyf, first five, and human ce a ncy fing thei funding. so we are thrilled in that, and it's showing significant improvement. nowrno who are the victims of abuse. and here we know that most children are victims of abuse by people that they know. it's not the stranger. 86% of those who are abused knew who their rpr, potential perpetrator was, and overwhelmingly there is a ndatin er pthple of co seeing that in the n coming to the district attorney th chi protection system. it's important to note these are reported cases, these are people volved in the system.s to and thatsp is concerning to u. we also know and this relates to national trends as well that more girls are victims of violence than boys. butn deeper int data, we see that more boys are victims, particularly older boys, are victims ofalab os td abuse and you see that reflected in this graph. next year we'll being adeeplysi victims of abuse and who are the families that need extra support to ensure that we are preventing abuse from

but actually, there are many city departments, dcyf does it all the time and other city departments too. have you taught about adding race as option into your data collection? >> in response to our la year about t we did i think actually go back and do some homework on it and we are now including race as one of the vulnerable population characteristics we are measuring in ouer equity zones. >> that's great. because as we know, that these areas that equity zones, the school district also tried to do the zone thing and they got rid of it. actually they were so quick in the city they changed. if we were really to hone in around vulnerable populations we pon agree that there are some lations actually in order to be equitable need more. and then, i have to ask about, because richard rossman is also my constituent, what are your plans to restore and reopen the mothers building at the san francisco zoo which has been closed since 2002? >> you'd have to ask the san francisco zoo that question. we have a lease with the san francisco zoo logical society. they are the property managers and the ten
