san francisco. that was only 25 of the 500 that we know were shipped to california. so this is going to be a pretty big action that i bring on behalf of all california municipalities. >> now, bus station therapy, as they call it, or bus ticket therapy, has long been rumored to be going on around the country. this is the first time you've actually come across a solid case of it. >> absolutely. this has been urban myth for decades. but here, we have it documented. what's more concerning is that the state itself was involved. i think that -- i don't care where you live. if you care about your people and you have a humane bone in your body, that's not something you're going to do. >> but san francisco does put people on buses and send them home. >> yes. but there's strict protocols, to make sure there's a family member or friend that's going to provide for the care of that individual when they get to that jurisdiction. >> for a long time, san francisco has said our generous services and payments often make it appealing for social workers in other cities to send them to s

surrounding counties and that is through partnerships that we have with the university of california-san francisco. there are a variety of things outside of use and ucsf and it was traditionally classified within obsessive-compulsive disorder, led by dr. carol matthews often as different resources as well and dr. matthews is one the leaders here in san francisco. monica works there as well. there is a variety of other professional organizers that we can link folks up with in the city and outside of the city, as well as cleaning services, when needed. adult protective services obviously for situations when there are more urgent issues or an immediate danger to self. we have very close linkages with them and it's always a good idea for folks to call us too, rather than jumping to a report on something like that. because a lot of times that can be avoided, in many cases. i am about a minute away from my time. so let me see what i can throw in and invite gillian up. i am going lead some business cards as well today and we have got tons of printed resources and powerpoints and stuff to send out to folk

and, of course, we also have an extremely comprehensive california san francisco legal collection that has to be continually updated with all of the resources necessary to meet the needs of the legal information need of the people of the city and county of san francisco. we have -- i'd like to highlight the fact that we have collections that are not available anywhere else. they're frequently requested by law firms, by members of the public, by government officials. some of these include, for example, the california code of regulations, the register started in 1945. we're the only place in the state that had it since 1945. it's not online except from 2002 forward. we have the whole history of all the building codes which as you know when people are remodeling they want to take a look at the building codes that were enacted at the time when their building was built. we have a variety of materials like that that we make available. quickly, some of the other key programs that we provide are legal education programs and seminars to the public and legal practitioners which i address in my l

california. and so we have moved our ordinance out of the building code and it is now in the form of for the cal green and it is the san francisco amendments of the california green building code otherwise known as the san francisco green building code and we have the mechanical amendments and code, and plumbing code. and the building amendment. and we have a special thanks to the department of environment and there is a huge amount of work in doing that transition. they spearheaded that he have fert in establishing the ordinance in san francisco and carrying it forward and there is not a lot of changes to the green building code in structure. and we have tried to do all of the most restrictive items because we have carried forward and we do all of the items and in addition to that we do the things that the san francisco ordinance applied at that time too. and so we have combined the two. and so the housing code. and and we have a housing code from 2007 that has not been updated other than the legislative changes and we plan to have it republished not as a new code but as the 2013, housing code being republishing of the 2007 and

court to get our taxpayers' money back and you said something specific there you said california instead of san francisco how widespread is this program to go beyond san francisco other jurisdictions in sanford and california are conducting their own investigations on mr brown here mentioned earlier is actually someone who was busted sacramento and they are conducting their investigation as well the five hundred thousand dollar figure reflects just the city of san francisco the city and county if other figures come to light later because other jurisdictions conclude their investigations and come up with dollar figures then them will compile a larger figure and they will decide what legal action they might want to take but this practice is absolutely widespread beyond san francisco we know of several other work issues which this is the case gabriel is there any indication of what happened so these people once they are bussed over there do they get in fact that help that they need yes and no the thing is a number of them and this is true of the patients or the subject of the demand letter or actually essen

. >> i would say that i was have much inspired since i lived in san francisco, california. we are a country of immigrants. in san francisco in particular, we have so many first generation americans. my husband is just became an american citizen a couple of months ago. i have friendlieds who are first generation from vietnam. palestine, israel. mexico, as i watch them struggling with their cultural identities and trying to maintain the identities and have the respect as the american citizens they are in this country, it got me to thinking about my family heritage and thinking about how history really does repeat itself. because i know that my people want through these same issues in the famine times when they came. and i thought to myself, why are not more of these stories being told? we need to collect these stories. i am at an age where my parents and their cousins, their siblings, they are getting close end of their life. one of the main ways i collect my information is through oral history i knew time was on the essense. there were stories that would be lost if i didn't c

such a difference so i urge us to continue to keep healthy san francisco in san francisco treading and sending the model for the state of california but as well as the nation, so as supervisor campos has said, we like to say obama care, healthy san francisco, we like to say that and keep that. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, i have a couple more names. (calling speaker names). >> my name is don beck ler, i chair single parent now, our group is part of the coalition from the hotel workers and the san francisco labor council, i had a cancer operation, what i see here, this attack on this program is another business, business's endless attempt to find cheap workers and to get public subsidy, that's what's going on with this program, it's okay to keep businesses paying their fair share because once we start losing revenues from business and they find ways to not pay their fair share, then the city budget becomes tight and you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll say it's the retirees pension funds that the's the problem in san francisco which they're not paying their fair share so i encourage you to the to join this part of

california. in san francisco, we have been identified by the state department of corrections and rehabilitation to do something that no other jurisdiction in the state has done, but others will be following our lead since we're the beta site for it and that is the creation of an embedded opportunity, an embedded sort of cooperation between adult probation and the sheriff's department working together where we bring in ab 109 realignment prisoners back to the city in what is called our apod, which is part of our county jail number 2, up to 56 inmates where on the onset of their incarceration with us receives what has never happened before, a well delineated regiment of wrap around case management between adult probation and the sheriff's department. it's been well spelled out by the really amazing work of adult probation and their staff in concert with our staff pitched to cdcr now to the point where three other counties will be following hopefully what they think is a workable template and those are the counties of marin, los angeles and san diego. and even though that last year we were hoping for
