shares apartment coming up, police, fire, dcyf, rec/park. i think that will be a good time for us to weigh in at least publicly about what to think about some of the proposals, but are there other ways in which we could start the process and be helpful helping us get to the balance? >> absolutely. i think the committee hearing process is a good start. i would like to hear from you individually, however you would like to do it, about what your priorities are. the mayor has been starting to have discussions with you, i know. i think his intention is to put together an outline of what the budget would look like and essentially make that available to you and the public to start providing some feedback on what that is going to look like. we have, starting tomorrow, a group of cbo's coming in to meet with the mayor and our office and with a number of department heads to talk in particular about health and human service cuts that are proposed as part of the department's submissions and the contingency proposals. the goal of those meetings will be t

support of dcyf. we want these kids to know that they can be credited for using their brain and creativity. by allowing them to be paid to serve as artist apprentices, nurses working a menial job, which many high school student to to help pay the bills, is an incredibly important part of this component. we are offering them the opportunity to learn at the same time. that is a key piece of the financial model. >> i just wanted to comment, i think it is extremely critical, in order to make in long-term, this project a success, that we keep as active as possible in doing the programming. that community is truly lacking in activities for you ith. we need to stay focused on that and supporting any programming activities in that neighborhood, to the extent we can. >> there have been foundation that have been very generous that have provided key funding. >> commissioner lee? >> so the relationship you now have with the car barn is through an mou? >> we are in the process of creating that now. >> but prior to

i want to think -- thank dcyf for all the support they give us. i look forward to see the days that we do not have to be always afraid when we walk the street. i would like to see the children i have worked with and the rest of the neighbors be very happy, feel successful and probably live in our neighborhood. i think that with the beat officers, i think that makes a great success. it makes the children see the police not as enemies. i think it is really wrong when we see them as enemies. i see them as a team that we can work with. before that happens, we have to work with them. we need to know the officers in our neighborhood. we need to start having activities. let me start talking about the mission, because i live in the mission. the community need to get together. we say we want to get involved. we want to work with the police. the police want to work with us. unless we all get together, we will always stay apart. i know all of you know what is happening now in the mission. i should not be out tonight. maybe when i get ready to go home, someth

. >> good afternoon, my name is sandra, a policy analyst at dcyf. where we are currently in the process is beginning the first year of a three-plan planning process. this created the community needs assessment. we are presenting our initial findings from that. those findings will then inform the next year's process, which is coming up with the allocation plan, which is the so what with the data that we have gathered. the third year will be the request for proposals. the point of today is to present to you what we have heard so far in terms of the needs. as maria suggested, our methodology is a mixed design approach, looking at data from different city agencies and demographic indicators. we also had a series of meetings to gather community perspective on what people are seeing as the needs for children and families. the next slide shows how we gather those perspectives. neighborhood meetings, citywide youth groups, service provider groups. some of the groups that provide advice on a certain service, demographic, population. we had focus groups as we

and children services and for dcyf, the first five san francisco. >> that group comes together on "moly basis. it informs the school district and board of education around what's going on in the field. >> can i ask the representative for us is going to be mr. lazard. >> commissioner yi? jo i'll add to the history. why did the department of education fund this piece they actually funded child care. we have money coming. jo for cal works. historically because education funded child care. the other thing we wanted to point out was the traditional sort of definition of child care was not what the state used for their services nor baz it what we use in san francisco. we meanerly childhood education. people would assume it is just babysitting and not he had kiss. >> to that point, we work closely with a lot of members of the unified school district. we have really strong ties. i can voug for the a mount ys. >> thank you. there are no public speakers on this matter. item m, there were no eye texases. item o, consent calendar. item o, roll call, please. >> no on k 1 and k 4. >> reporting on the

why of -- and dcyf, so i want to thank you for working to improve the lives of your peers and future generations. supervisor mar: chair avalos, i want to acknowledge the work done by supervisor campos, but i want to say for them to make further demands for freed me passes for all youth, and i think a good point was made about the next generation having full access with public transit for the whole city for everything that those of more affluent backgrounds have, so it is about equity, and it or them -- i encourage you to keep working on this. other groups should really hear about the organizing you are doing, multiracial, a cross- class lines. this issue be -- congratulations to the great co-organizing for all the organizations that were here, as well. supervisor campos: i also want to thank my legislative aide, sheila, who is in the audience for all of the work done on this. thank you for making all of this happen and for putting this together. it is greatly appreciated. thank you. supervisor avalos: very good. we have this before us. we can motion to move forward without objection,

s some who are affiliated with dcyf and these other groups. that's proper community policing and for me when i've read about the new york model or boston model or chicago model, it isn't driven strictly by the police department. but everybody would like to have the police that happy face because you are the first responders. and the community by generationally speaking is used to seeing you as the first and primary responders. but then they're starting to ask the obvious question, why is this person that keeps coming back to our community have to keep getting re-arrested and why are they plaguing our neighborhood? that in some ways has got to be addressed by community policing. and i don't think that that's covered. so i don't think that's on you. but i do think that because as chief and on the department, you have the unenviable task of trying to figure out something that is vehiclesed many people around this city. and the presentation that was made earlier, a couple of things i would address based on the empirical data you guys gave us. one

to say is that april 6 at 1:00, the board of supervisors will hold a hearing about the budget for dcyf. that is a really important one for people to show up if you are concerned about after-school programs and family support issues. the mayor's office has been quite open to hearing feedback. supervisor campos: i wanted to give mayor lee an opportunity to say something. thank you again for being here in district 9. [applause] mayor lee: thank you for coming here tonight. this will not be our last meeting. i have listened carefully to the translated commons and what people mean to say here. i do think that we will have to spend quality time defining the word "progressive" when we start thinking of ways to raise revenue. i suggest we all start forming the partnerships that we need to form to get the best ideas possible. thank you very much. you have been a wonderful crowd. [applause] supervisor campos: mr. mayor, i want to say on behalf of district 9 and the mission, and thank you for being here. thank you to all of the department heads. you have a commitment from this community that we w

i met people from dcyf, along with the health department. we explained to our gang task force what the crn role is. all the officers have an understanding that in the event of an incident, a homicide were shooting, how does the crn help us do our jobs. we will continue to meet like that quarterly. supervisor mirkarimi: i look forward to having that here on the public safety committee, too. supervisor campos? supervisor campos: thank you very much for your presentation, captain. we will have a hearing on this citizen the advisory board in the very near future. the level of involvement may not exactly be where it needs to be. i think we will hear more about what is happening when we have that hearing. as a concept, it makes a lot of sense, but i don't know that in terms of how they are operating that it is operating exactly the way it was envisioned. i think we need to have a further discussion on that. going back to where we are in terms of homicides for the first month of the year, how do the numbers compare to the first month last year? i a

money was allocated, but i understand how complex it is, and i'm glad you're working with the mta and dcyf as well to make it happen. i wanted to clarify -- there's the 12,000 passes, and 2000 are for homeless and transitional youth. so the 10,000 remaining would be for anyone in middle school or high school or secondary school students, so that as middle or high school age -- is that right? >> that is correct. supervisor mar: and they have to sell identified as eligible for free and reduced lunch, but anybody who self identifies? >> yes. we have the application. i will be glad to give you a copy of this before i leave. it is basically a self identification and an affidavit. very different form, but similar in structure to the way we administer the free and reduced lunch forms. supervisor supervisor mar: i know a lot of the youth in the district are limited english-speaking, so i hope there is the process to raise awareness in the communities of color that this be available. can you explain how a community outreach will be done? >> it has been put on our website. as i said before, we will

i believe we have a repetitive from dcyf to present on this. >> before you is an except/expend for the bill and melinda gates foundation to award the city $3 million. it is a three-year grant which runs from august 2010 until august 2013. it will fund the san francisco bridge success program, a partnership between the city and county of san francisco, sfusd, and city college. the purpose of the program is to double the number of low income youth who earn post secondary degrees by age 26. in the partnership, the three different entities will share information, data sharing, research together, specifically on the city's and, we will be working to align our funding for student workforce development, preschool, and after school for school readiness. and also, the city will serve as the primary fiscal sponsor, as we will be providing the fiscal and programmatic reports to the bill and melinda gates foundation. city college will participate. one of their main implementations will be looking at program and policy changes to improve sf usd access for students. in addition, they are working on

over the years, with funding, active list, and particularly in the last couple of years, under dcyf work, we have been trying to revitalize the partnership again. but specifically for that declining trend, is primarily because of those initiatives that we did 10 years ago. >> thank you very much, and thanks for the very enlightening presentation. appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having us. and if you have any other questions for us or if members of the community have questions for us or any feedback, the last slide of our presentation, there is our contact information for our extremely able policy analyst, who clearly can go through this data much better than i can. if you have any questions, please call her, or better yet, send her a quick e-mail. for us, in terms of this is the third commission hearing that we have presented. we have two more commission hearings -- two more commissions we will present to, and in april, we will be presenting the presentation to the board of supervisors. hopefully with full approval so we can then move into our next phase, which is allocation of f
