. fáthat needs to be factored into the equation about what one department has versus another departmenting positions. and i will mention this -- we haveñr long discussions with the budget analyst's office and what they wanted to do is increase our attrition for the fiscal year because they did not think we would be able to distill all of the decisions based on our hiring plan. we look at the hiring plan, look at the decisions, at the provide services best we can, and we said to them if you agree to the attrition rate, you are going toync tie our hands and we will not be able to actually operate. it would not givexd us any flexibility. w3we successfully argued that point. what really happens with attrition is it is historical. it chan. if the department is successful+ it will not change$ñ by anythig else other than the cost of living. any change in the salary line will change the number of positions we have to keep vacant. what we're trying to do is keep it at an even keel, but what this means is over 12 months we have to have the equivalent of ñr24, 25 positions vacant. we do look at t

did work with the planning department. we set out narrow -- neighborhood notification. two reviews were filed. what went before the planning commission. the planning commission held several hearings on this item, as has been noted and then subsequently decided to take the review. they conditioned it to go back to the original permit from 1998, and that was a pattern that would allow them to restore the building to what was previously built, and it would correct the issue with the front and backed with the permit was issued in error, and the extension over the front, so that was the condition of the planning commission decision. there were the findings. al fayed findings were not met in this case, so they subsequently denied the various application. -- the findings were not met in this case. they are taking away all of the legal additions that are done, but they were about to restore what was there previously. was that, i will be available for questions. -- with that, i will be available. vice president fung: mr. sanchez, t

that decline will be offset by the department. we are anticipating a small percentage of anticipated impact fees that can be used to cover administrative processes. just a note, there is a technical adjustment that we will need to make. we might have mentioned this to you. the budget is showing $2.3 million of development impact fee revenue that needs to be in the rec and park impact development budget. i understand that the comptroller's office is aware that and the need to make the adjustment as we move forward. let me just move forward to the expenditure budget. so, our most significant expenditures continue to be department staff, which represents 68% of all expenditures. salary and fringe costs are expected to increase by 5.8% over the next two years. we do have some increase in non-personnel services for one time expenditures. such as the individual funding transportation sustainability program. for the first time, we have some capital budget expenditures this year. the better market street program and the street inventory p

department or other departments having a focus around violence prevention. i want to propose that we get really on the ground worked, you know, working with community residents to put some real ideas on the ground. some good ideas came out today. how we actually get to that level of implementation, a lot of the organizations that we have funded over the years have done a lot of great work. but it will also involve entrenched, on the ground work that they do not have the time to do the planning and new ideas. that is where the mayor's office of community development can play a large role in working with our office as well to make sure we get to that next level. i would like to propose that as one of the ideas that we can move forward with from this hearing. >> i think that is a good idea in working with your office as well as the community collaborative. it does bring in the one person on the ground that does it all by him or herself and the larger neighborhood of groups. i'm happy to follow up with your office and the other departments here today to make sur

goowe contacted the department. there will be additional requirements the department will impose on this date going forward if the permit is upheld. one of them will be to set it back 3 feet from the property line to swing not into the path traveled, but rather it will swing short of it so there will not be a potential hazard. there will be adjustments required on the mechanisms of the gate itself. it will satisfy requirements the department will impose based on recommendations, and the access coordinator will review the design to ensure it satisfies the requirements. >> any recommendation from your department as to how you would like us to proceed? >> before you answer that, part of the question i have is is the gate in its status quo going to turn into something totally different? is it going to be transformed? will need to be redone in order to comply with oversight? >> it depends on the amount expected to exit. there might need to be more than one gates on both sides. there might be a multitude of elements that

the fire chief and the police chief along with a number of other department heads and number of departments just met with many of the fire victims, the businesses as well as a couple of the property owners here to register with them that we're ready to help them get over this disaster immediately and start the rebuilding process in an expedited fashion. but i begin with a great deep of gratitude to our fire department for their response. there was a cup of ippingries but nothing that can't be recovered from. thanks to them and our police department there were no lives lost. and in this kind of intense fire, that's always a situation we always have to be prepared for. now, we're on to a rebuild and we have a number of agencies including our planning department, building inspection and our health department, our department of emergency management, public works, building inspection, our small business commission, all working together in coordination with my office and the office of economic and workforce development that is now headed for tom ruffo and today we agreed working with them for our

next up, we have the department of public health. oh, we have the director, barbara garcia. >> good morning, supervisors. i wanted to let you know that charlie will be doing the presentation, but i came today because i want you to understand that public safety is very important to the department. we have had charlie as our safety coordinator and we have developed our critical response team developed by the police department for any homicides or violence issues that require assistance. our critical response team, i think, is really important. they helped to ss and try to activate the crn's when necessary. we believe this is an important coordination city-wide so we can response to it -- respond to any incident throughout the city. and we have worked closely with those who fund crn to make sure that they have the adequate training that they need. and they work with us to provide nattily the critical responses, but also the long of four long term basis. many families take time to go through the process and later need assistance if you w

we will start working with other departments. any department can use the system. we need to just understand and work with them on how their implementation would work. we have also participated in project poll, this summer. a yearlong type of internship, we have used works. and then the language access ordinance. we are in compliance. we have many things that we are doing. we have 18 supported and -- inspection staff that are bilingual in chinese and spanish. everything is provided in english, chinese, and spanish. we have telephone lines for chinese and spanish-speaking customers. we have a voice recognition system for scheduling inspections. both of our contracts for the single room occupancy programs provide services, depending upon the area in the city. chinese, russian, and other languages. finally, in terms of professional services, that budget is about 3.9 million. 1.8 is the permanent tracking system. primarily it is the singular market code enforcement. we had a couple of things that were i.t.-related, but the majority were non-profit. supervisor chu: than

from the department of public works.f you could please go over the meeting guidelines. >> support requests you turn off also funds -- cell phones. go \ please hold conversations n the hallway. four representatives each have seven minutes to present their cases and three minutes for rebuttal. they must complete comments in those periods. member is not affiliated have up to 3 minutes to address the board but not rebels. members of the public who wish to speak on an item are

the department could not locate the man, and we made some recommendations, including amending a department general order on psychological evaluation of adults and duties of surgeons. the second quarter, we continued to advance our language access work. we met with several community organizations, and helped to co author a department bulletin that provides officers they list of common indicators that language services are necessary. also, we met the department to help to write a script for training on domestic violence incidents. finally, the occ continued advocating department policy. that concludes my report. >> the director spoke of five officer-involved shootings that were under investigation. they did not all occurred in the second quarter. those occurred over time. >> absolutely. >> -- commissioner kingsley: you inherited the 2008 audit report by the comptroller -- controller's office. it is a lengthy document with a lot to be reported. i understand that has been cleared of entirely. it is really worth noting, applauding, and congratulating the occ on that. it is wonderful progress, a

our final department, department of elections. >> good evening, supervisors stere. for our budget, the main cause drivers will be free elections region will be free elections. -- will be three elections. you can see about half of our cause is a professional services. git is pretty consistent through time. as far as revenue is concerned we will have reimbursements for the school district elections. good we are seeing such a large increase for the fiscal year. >> the increase from 1213 to 1314 is for an additional election democrats for the revenue?

i was waiting for the department to take a lead. i have been helping with a number of other issues, and the department never convened a meeting to my knowledge, and it seems like this only came up because of the recent officered-involved shooting. the first time i heard about a taser in a long time and was about the meeting about this officer involved shooting, and we need to hear about this so buckthe death not be politicize. i also want to point out we only have three out of eighth trainings. it has been a year and a half. we have only had one meeting every six months, which is much slower. i appreciate what you have done so far, but a lot more needs to be done. it would be disastrous to arm them with lasers -- tasers with no protocol in place. commissioner marshall: we have had robust discussions about tasers before. we had a long and robust discussion under chief gascon. we have had discussions in and out. here it is. the dilemma we have is that we did come up with a way to deal with robust discussion, which is resolution. gooi

we also have department zero representatives available here from any department that had funding. if you like to hear from them. >> i know is briefed and my office was briefed. i think both the auditors for coming today. i am ok. colleagues -- i know we have a lot of people waiting for other things and we want to be efficient. do you have any questions? ok, thank you. >> thank you very much. supervisor farrell: ok. all right, with that, colleagues, this is a hearing -- we're going to entertain a motion to table the hearing before that, i would like to take any public comment. any members of the public who wish to comment on item number four? ok, seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, can we take a motion to table this hearing? motion by president chiu. we can do that without objection. mr. clerk, can we call item number one, please? >> item number one, -- supervisor farrell: number one and two together. "saddam, ordinance amending the san francisco please go to elevate the permit requirements and other local regulation of second and dealers and antique dealers. item tw

finally, the occ continued advocating department policy. that concludes my report. >> the director spoke of five officer-involved shootings that were under investigation. they did not all occurred in the second quarter. those occurred over time. >> absolutely. >> -- commissioner kingsley: you inherited the 2008 audit report by the comptroller -- controller's office. it is a lengthy document with a lot to be reported. i understand that has been cleared of entirely. it is really worth noting, applauding, and congratulating the occ on that. it is wonderful progress, a good accomplishment. the other thing that is very notable, and that everybody should be congratulated on, is the caseload for inspectors, to have that down so considerably in a one-year period. it is very notable. great job. >> thank you very much, commissioner. i would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank my staff, and in particular, the investigators who have labored under heavy caseloads for many years. when i came to the occ -- is almost five years now. it will be

inspection and our health department, our department of emergency management, public works, building inspection, our small business commission, all working together in coordination with my office and the office of economic and workforce development that is now headed for tom ruffo and today we agreed working with them for our permits. they're willingness to make sure that they're investment was worth it pursuing the various permits and the commission to get back their businesses up and running. it's a challenge for any of these fire victims to really get out of this misery that this tragedy causes them. again on with rebuilding of their businesses and in coordination with the others. so it's gooded to have this meeting to let them know how important we thought ocean avenue has been to not only to them but to the city. i think we registered that very clearly. and we also wanted to give them a sense of how willing we were to get things on the fast track. and so they have met with us. they continue to have excellent dialogue with the various agencys that will help them recover. and i wa

i know there are a number of departments. we will take about a half an hour break after the city attorney's presentation. supervisor cohen? supervisor cohen: thank you. i want to follow up on a couple of questions that supervisor kim raised earlier with regard to code enforcement. you said you increase your code enforcement team. from what? >> this is about 10 years ago, and a double that. i would say it was 95 to six range in we went to 10 to 12. -- i would say it went from the five to six range. and there has to be a referral process. there are certain cases that are coded for some cases that do not have to go through the administrative process, and my office just takes them. there are other cases where you have a notice of violation on a have the ability issue or housing issue that you have to exhaust your administrative remedies before a lawsuit can be filed. so we rely on the department of building writ -- building inspection tour for those cases to us before we can file legation on those cases. that is the law. we have

walton about his department. do you have an analysis of i.t. spending in other departments? >> good afternoon. we did do an analysis this year to look at the budget, both this past budget and the proposed budget for i.t.. the amount is $100.90000000 -- $190 million. president tchi: have begun an analysis of what the actual saar for this past fiscal year compared to what we budgeted. last year? >> we could do that. i do know that in some instances, the funds are spent in a different fiscal year of then in which there were appropriate. we have a large project that may be funded but it takes two years to expand the money. the budget and the expenditure are not necessarily a match but we can provide the total spending to the committee as well. presdienident chiu: the puc's actual was higher than was budgeted and i wanted to get a sense of whether that is the case for other departments. >> it is very likely, the puc and most of the enterprise departments, they do budget in one year even though it might take two or three years to spend the money. it would not necessarily be uncomm

most notably department of public works and the department of city planning. better communication between the departments would provide a more efficient process and divorce -- accessible city. small-business owners, property owners, and design professionals are encouraged by the department of building inspection to contact us. any questions related to disabled access in compliance with the california building code and the san francisco amendments. the department looks forward to looking -- working with stakeholders and providing technical support, small businesses' needs while providing the access required for persons with disabilities. if you have any questions. supervisor mar: any questions? thank you. >> thank you. supervisor mar: our next speaker is zachary nathan, and we have a handout in front of us. thank you for being with us. >> good afternoon. my name is zachary nathan. i am a president of the rewachand -- richmond district. i will be discussing the following six topics. what is a casp, casp inspections, benefits of a casp instea -- inspection, resul

under her command, and ali is the department coordinator. glive i am the coordinator for the department costs crisis intervention team effort. i have been the coordinator since 2011. we have trained 74 officers in our department who are members of the team, and we have trained eight members of other agencies. we have also train members of our department of emergency management. we have progressed to such an extent that we are now engaged in conversations with the university of san francisco relative to getting their involvement in our efforts on par with what has taken place with the university of tennessee and the university of memphis being an integral part of the memphis police department's efforts to make a crisis intervention team more robust, but now as i stand before you today, this is not an issue of mental illness. this is an issue of the department having options available to mitigate the need for legal force -- lethal force. as i have had discussions, i thought it would be most appropriate to have a pilot program where members of

goowe contacted the department. there will be additional requirements the department will impose on this date going forward if the permit is upheld. one of them will be to set it back 3 feet from the property line to swing not into the path traveled, but rather it will swing short of it so there will not be a potential hazard. there will be adjustments required

, fire department. it has gone through all the review. we simply -- they simply did not come in and pick up the permit. we did it -- receive a complaint in early july from some other residents and we made them aware of that. they came in and picked up the permit and they realized the mistake. some work had started. a lot of the time the work starts and we are not needed until some of the work is done. any inspections that we have missed or maybe we have not seen, we can always catch up with. on a project such as this, maybe grading was done and the grading work would have been overseen by agent -- a geotactical engineer. we would expect a report to be submitted to us. other aspects of the work as well could have been inspected by dpw staff. dbi will be involved in the inspections going forward, provided the permit is issued. we will be out there. on the accessibility work, i think you heard that mr. jensen from the city had reviewed this work and my experience, most of the time when that happens, everyt

we have an outstanding fire department staff at the airport. i believe we have one of the most recognized fire department staffs of any major airport in the u.s. the airport is committed to making sure staff has the latest and greatest technology and equipment to support their operation. the team is led by deputy chief mike morris, assisted by ed dale. we thank them for their great work. [applause] it is my great pleasure to introduce major -- mayor ed lee to say a few words. >> thank you. i know that word leaked out i will be on an america's cup catamaran next week. i am sure this facility was identified as the very first fear reducer for me to be on the water. let me express my pleasure to be here with director john martin and his wonderful staff, with his airport commissioners that are here today, along with the chief and the chaplain, also here to give blessing to this wonderful facility. the chief, of course, is working closely with us. they have both upped their willingness and collaboration to work together on this very important facilit

the first for our police department. the police to barman is committed to being a world-class police department. a leader among urban police departments by hiring and promoting talented officers and professional staff, employing the highest standards of performance, the best practices in policing and accountability, and reflecting the values of world-class city that it deserves. we have brought the city's violent crime rate down to historic lows and implemented in a bit of crime-prevention strategies to keep san francisco the safest big city in our country. our officers have dedicated long hours to protecting our citizens and have shown a commitment to finding better methods to deliver police services to victims of crime. volunteer time, both on and off duty to provide at-risk kids an opportunity and positive attitude with in their neighborhoods. a goal to be a mentor to new officers as they begin a career in a dangerous yet rewarding profession. with the expiration of the deferred retirement option program, the so-calle

it is typically covered under department policy. that is not something i would recommend to them from installed -- policy standpoint. >> that is all i have. commissioner kingsley: thank you for being here tonight. this data you have provided with -- a steady you have provided us with, it tracks losses for excessive force claims from 2003 until 2008. 149 agencies. is there anything that of states passed that year? >> i am sure -- it is hard to get those associations to gather data. >> the other part of it, it involves 140 -- 149 agencies and i believe you said you have roughly 17,000 agencies. >> 16,900. this is one emple -- in michigan, they are half funding the purchase of their other municipal risk management. i can get a list of those. the purpose is to make sure that you understand it is showing a reduction in those industries. >> it is such a small population relative to the use that it would be terrific if we could -- if we have statistics that were more expensive. >> are you looking for statistics -- i am not sure i'd underst

appropriate for the needs of the fire department, for the local fire station. there are backgrounds associated with the identification of an emergency order authorizing the closure of this date in this specific case. vice president fung: okay, there was no directors teetering or appeal? >> not in this case. vice president fung: okay, thank you. i'm willing to float a motion if you are willing to hear it. i am prepared to uphold the department of streets and mapping on their permit, with two conditions. one is that they procure a building permit with any required modifications for exit paying for ada purposes, as required by the building department, and secondly that the installers of the gate, in this case the permit holder, supply keys to every unit in both buildings within one week. do you have a procedural question? president hwang: ok. >> if the date or to remain closed and locked, i would like a call box at the sidewalks of my drivers can call up to the apartment and open up so they can pick me up to the handicapped access in the building. vice president f

office, d.p.w., the health department, and planning department, but we're also talking about the state's requirements as well. so the goal of all this, the overall goal is obviously to simplify doing business in san francisco. as i mentioned earlier, this isn't going to solve all the problems because someone who is more savvy will be able to do all the research on their own and come on this site and pull all their forms but there are other folks who are going to need more hand holding and those are the folks we're going to see in our office. this being a point of central location that aggregates all the forms helps simplify things and also creates efficiency in the office of small business. so if martha and i are sitting at the counter and asks what are all the forms i need in my food truck business? as we explain we can pull the forms up. and the last piece, which i think is also very important is the fact that we saw 2,500 clients in our office last year, but i'm sure there were hundreds if not thousands -- thousands of other individuals out there who didn't seek our assistance, who ar
