and then the police department. there was a willingness in the leadership to move forward, to implement this department general order and to continue with the dialogue on how to best implement land with services that is what recently in the last year, a subset of this language access coalition has come together. we are working on a variety of projects. one of the first was to have another kind of department bulletin for officers who touch upon the common indicators, signs, in a more complicated situation where the person understands some english but because of the complexity of interaction, the rights involved in the need of accuracy, an interpreter is required. would put together good indicators for police officers. the other thing that we worked on, a work in progress, roll-call training scenario based. that is an ongoing project. we have been working with the department, scripting it out, we hope that it will be rolled out of the beginning of next year. under the project we are working on to enhance services, we

some departments other departments have stated that the department of technology has not provided satisfactory service as often as desired. >> president chiu -- as we go through the items and clarify them if we have discussion so we can record the information -- what the recommendation will be. >> sure. okay. >> mr. chair, members of the committee and higher budget -- [inaudible] analyst office. if it's possible through the chair if it's possible president chiu to get a copy of the written testimony. >> i think i have one more copy. >> that is terrific. thank you. >> i think since we have two members here we will agree and i think the mayor going to every one and is not feasible but to make it a bigger priority is real and actionable here and i agree. >> for finding number two and give everyone context i will probably summarize the finding we're asking to refer to. the finding was the department of technology continues to perceived by customers providing unsatisfactory service and my response is it's comp tentd for some functions and some department there are other departments that they don't

needs with unique department solutions, and that should rest within those departments. that already exists. no changes is offered. what is missing is the means to provide for the other needs those related to city wide government programs. here coordination and communication are vital if costs and duplication are to be managed. this is the area that needs fixing. the office of the mayor seems to believe what we're asking are a formal tie between the city cio and technology, leadership within departments for common city wide activities already exists as is stated in the response. has he or his staff really talked to the department -- really talked with department technology leadership or the city cio about this? we did. much more than one time and with much more than one person. it does not exist. the mayor's office says it exists not only in technology, but in such city wide services as finance, human resources and contracting. we would add capital planning and others. these are services the mayor states which are managed by the them and the central agency but that is no

of public health and the probation department and the mayor department has made this happened and we have the first person hired and the first group of people screened to go through the program and i am thrilled to tell you san francisco is one of two counties in the state doing this program. we are gathering data from the beginning and we will have good information to share with you what is going on, so these are three major things that happened in the last year that i am most proud of the work that family violence council has done and all of the community agencies have come together. thank you very much. >> so i will touch on some of the trends and recommendations that we're seeing from the domestic violence perspective. domestic violence has been worked on much longer in san francisco at a policy level and you will see that reflected in the numbers, but again when you combine elder abuse and child abuse and domestic violence it's san francisco's most reported crime, family violence. so you will see that still the majority of the calls that are coming in -- thank you -- come in to

the police department, sheriff's department, fire department.fund equipment at rec and park as well as training in hazardous materials for staff at the department of public health. there are no new positions that are created under this grant. there are no matching funds that are required. the legislation is retroactive because we received the notice that the grant is has been awarded to us the same day the performance period began which was october 12. and we request your approval of this resolution. happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you so much. this one does not have a report either, so we'll open this item up for public comment. are there members of the public who wish to speak on item 4? >>> [speaker not understood] again. again, i call your attention to the received and assigned part of this item. if there had been a persona tadv to this and a phone number, i went to emergency management yesterday and i was sheriff's department guard, they had their hands on the trigger. i asked them about this. they didn't know at t

departments should provide this data to the department of technology. the fact it's not done is reflective of the fact that departments are not willing to share or centralize these assets. finding 19. there is a need for data base of city wide personnel. agree. this could assist coit in the city cio to understand duplicative functions and prchl personnel to assist different functions. let's go to recommendations. recommendation number 11 which is a recommendation to the city cio work with the controller for a survey not limited to performance data, et cetera and for this i would state requires further analysis. the city cio should work to provide survey performance, decision making and annual baselines to measure performance. recommendation number 12. the city cio should report annually on the state of technology to the mayor and the supervisors. my understanding this will be implemented with the new cio and there is little by the board of supervisors except for the supervisors that have chosen to learn more. recommendation number 13. the city cio or th

>> the department would normally engage with the department of building inspection, the building is constructed outside the property line, and let the building department take appropriate action because it's currently defined as an unpermitted encroachment. >> how many people are in this building. >> the permit states it is a one family unit. >> i've heard there may be more than one family. >> according to the building department documentation it is a one family dwelling. if there are suggestions there is more than one family, maybe subdivided, i have to refer back to the building department. >> how long has it been occupied now, do we know? >> i was unaware it was occupied. i'm hearing this after the fact in many cases. >> question for the city attorney, in terms of the actions we can take today and what would constitute a full rejection as opposed to -- what are our options? >> tom gitner, deputy city attorney. basically your options are you can adopt the resolution approving the encroachment overturning the department's decision. you can approve a resolution rejecting -- or rejecting the enc

we had a new application for the council direction for the sf police department, the sheriff department, courts and da. we created a portal with the police department so they can access information such as quality of life information. we help them with the 2011 justice department report so we were appropriately assigning bcs codes; we migrated their blades; and supported the police department request for -- funding for phase i. we created a separate portal, a portal for non- criminal justice department so that we can present aggregate data in compliance, this is non- -- data, that is aggregated that the public should be able to see, in cooperation with the department and dr. -- i will show you four sample reports. the last things we implement it the first phase of interdepartmental notifications with criminal justice business processes so that when probations are booked, both the sheriff department and adult probation department is notified immediately. for the justice reporting portal, i want to show you sample reports. as you can see from little icons, if red, locked one, only justice

i am from the san francisco police department. they have filed an application with the city and on cite beer premseses for 748 innes avenue. for the purpose of this hearing the california department of alcohol and beverage control seeks determination from the board of supervisors as to the approval or denial of this license. from the period of july 2011 through january 2012 there were no police calls for service, nor any police reports. the plat information located in here and 354 police actions for the calendar year 2010. the pemz premises is located in a high crime area and sensus track listed here. applicant premises is not located in undue concentration area. there are no record protests with the california department of alcohol and beverage control and also no records of support with the department of the california alcohol and beverage control. department of recreation. there is no opposition from the station. alu recommends approval and recommended to the california alcohol and beverage control. number one, sales, service a

>> i think it's the building department that mostly refers the jobs tot to the fire department. >> that is my understanding, but i would like to hear it from the building department. >> i'm sorry i was in discussions with mr. sanchez, while you were speaking. what is the question, the review of the perimeter? >> it would be the building department or mechanical plan check for the california mechanical code and then the building code as well, which would be building department plan check. for any of the penetrations through 1r rated construction and you also have the san francisco fire department plan check, and inspections as well after the permit is issued. >> okay. >> i think that is about it. >> i understood this continuance also to be for purposes of allowing planning to review and determine whether the proper permits were issued for purposes of the changes of use. >> the health department also reviewed it and the planning department also reviewed this permit that is under appeal tonight. so it did get routed through. >> i'm talking about the uses and the questions that were raised.

so every department, the police department, the public defenders office, the district attorney, department of public health -- other departments involved, the sheriffs department, all must be involved so we can become more preventative. >> thank you. any further questions for captain flaherty or lieutenant --? we will now move into the public comments section. it says five minutes total. the city attorney suggests that we give 2 minutes per person without a five-minute limit. >> speaker shall address remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners, or department or occ personnel. neither police or occ personnel or commissioners are required to respond to questions, but may provide a brief response. occ personnel and police shall refrain from entering into a debate with speakers. limit your comments to two minutes. >> as any public comment regarding tonight presentations? there is no comment. before we move to the last item, we will like to adjourn in memory of some folks. i want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for tonight's presentation. a lot of work

>> you know, i think that the human heart in particular, the heart of this department has not changed. if you looked at the history, if you look at the history of the department, every chief starting with every chief has asked for tasers, including fong, and temporary chief, and go down and now chief sure. and in each of the cases i think that those discussions were precipitated by an officer-involved shooting that in the hearts and minds of our chief of this organization and looked at the facts of that and said that if we have a different weapon system and a electronic weapon control system we would not have to have deployed that force and in this case with the chief sure and i completely concur, that the shooting in july, that had we had a electronic weapon system in place and that person would be alive today and back to the road to recovery. and i think that is conist ent and the reason behind the chiefs bringing this discussion to bear. >> just hearing that i am reminded of when officer... was shot and he was shot by an officer, he said that he thought that he had a taser. and wou

cost savings come from department to department for the city for any of the consolidations. isn't there is a need -- didn't i just do this? we propose a consolidated city wide ict budget and staffing plans. we propose a survey of ict performance from departments that is updated periodically. we propose console daitd ict management asset system for these purposes. we propose a data base for personnel. maybe we have enough data but we're not collecting the right useful data. everyone agrees that hiring for technology needs to be improved. technology is a highly dynamic and ever changing field. no one can predict the five years of technology or what talent will be required. of your cell phone. the administrator requires a staffing plan. doesn't exist. there maybe hurdles to overcome but hiring as permanent exempt is better than the traditional civil service for technology. it reduces time to hire. it raises proakt of attracting top talent. it means hiring mistakes can be corrected easily. it's done elsewhere in the city. lawyers and our attorney departments do have at will stat

so, there's conflicts between these departments and, you know, according to the building department, they passed it for the code violation, they were corrected. so, there's conflicts. >> commissioners, any questions? thank you. anybody care to make a motion or ask more questions? commissioner walker. >> i think that the conditions of these buildings is -- makes these uninhabitable even though people are living in them. and the issues of uncommitted electric heaters, those type of things, make it a real risk for fire. so, i would like to make a motion to uphold the department's recommendation, the abatement, and maybe allow for 30 days to take out permits and resolve these issues. >> i second that motion. >> so, i just want to clarify what commissioner walker said. so, could you flesh out -- you're basically saying that you find that -- the v. laytions that the department has issued on these properties are habitability issues, and make the buildings unsafe to occupy, even though they are occupied. and the potential risk for fire, the mold that we see, and the evident presented all are

and it also asks the department or the commission on the status of women and their department to work with other city departments to distribute such information to employees contractors and grantees and other organizations including non-profit and businesses. with that i wanted to thank emily for the work on this and to acknowledge the policy director an leman. >> i wanted to thank you for sponsoring this legislation and hopefully that other supervisors will join in your efforts i will introduce ann and thank the staff of the department of status of women to always be there for the commission and this very important issue and hope that it will help all city employees to be made aware of domestic violence. thank you, again. >> ann policy the director for the status of women, first i want to explain what i am standing up here and not dr. emily, morase. >> last night we had a dynamic meeting on the status of women and the police commission, a first but not a last about some of these issues and as a consequence, dr. morase's voice has given out. so i am here with meranda to thank you, sup

my discussions with the department, specifically the department of dpw, it would be, they would agree to us rejecting this and sending it back and asking to come back with a street vacation rather than a major encroachment. so that's the course of action i would like to propose that we take today. >> so that sounds to me like it's a motion to reject this resolution. >> yes. >> amend the resolution as a rejection. >> amend the resolution as a rejection. >> mr. gibner indicated that the resolution before us to --. >> either up or down. >> is to approve the encroachment. i think it would require a motion to amend the resolution to reject and then to forward that resolution to the board. >> correct. >> so there's a motion -- there is an amendment to the table to reject. are there any objections? so -- and then on the motion itself as amended to reject, are there any objections? >> that would be to forward the amended resolution to the board with a recommendation to adopt it. >> yes. so without objection. thank you. thank you, mr. gibner. miss miller, could you please call item no. 2? >> i

. >> san francisco police department has been given the chance to set a national precedent in how they respond to crisis situations through the implementations of the crisis intervention team. instead of prioritizing the training and the culture shifts that are necessary to save the lives of our vulnerable populations he is offering a new weapon to be used. numerous studies shows that they are a deadly weapon that do nothing to lower fatality or police shooting victims. in fact we have seen the opposite. you will hear more testimony that highlights lawsuits and respect if i have studies done here in california and nationally that expose the harms of trigger happy police officers who rely on force instead of culturally competent deescalation tactics. they need to invest in strategies to support the communities is not lethal weapons. thank you. >> thank you, very much. next speaker, please? >> please, please, refrain from clapping. this is the tone that i would like to set for this hearing and other hearings. >> good morning, i am michael, the deputy director of the mental health associa

before considering, you know, use of lethal force in the department. i am not a decision maker through but this is part of a hearing from hearing from the supervisors and members of the public. we also have here, i am happy to have chief greg sure and who is here to present on this issue. he only has a limited amount of time here this morning and so i would like to call him up first to discuss his objective or his interest, the work of the department around electronic control weapons, tasers, mr. sure. >> good morning, members of the public. thank you for affording me the time prior to this hearing being schedule, i had made a commitment to be at fransisco middle school to talk to the students and i like to keep my commitments to the kids. but this is an important meeting so i appreciate you letting me go first. when i became chief of police there had been a resolution passed by the police commission to look into less lethal options. there was a process described in that resolution that members of the commission, the chief of police, or the police depa

i had more computers than the police department and the fire department and before i had nothing and it was interesting. i said to the mayor -- mayor jordan how do i approach these people? how do i do it? and he said "well, john i heard you speak before. just throw one of your guilt trips on them" and it worked. i know time is running out. i will make this quick but i wanted you to know how we got here. it didn't happen. it wasn't magic and this building as the mayor told you was a direct result of a tragedy on 101 california street and went up in the building and the crazed gun man killed all those people and i asked to build this building for a long time and the mayor knows that and all of a sudden the money was available and the mayor asked me to do a investigation and it was in the papers and unbelievable. you know it's difficult to investigate the police department. it is. my father is a police officer. you have to walk carefully, and i came to the mayor and i said "mayor jordan -- i said it's a dog's breakfast. 911 is broken. they don't practice the incident command system. the

it is department policy. it is city law. it is what we have been raised on. >> does the department have the authority to control that information within its own database so it is and shared with the federal authorities? >> what information is that? >> my understanding is there is no opt in and out. maybe commissioner chan can say something. >> secure communities is a post-arrest situation, a sheriff situation. those questions are not asked at the police department level. >> the chief has been extremely supportive of efforts by community groups. chief beal recently met with community groups about the same issue, that is something they have been receptive, trying to address. -- has resulted in over 638 deportations as of august this year. it has an impact on the victims of domestic violence. it is a continual problem. >> but not from the san francisco police department. >> there is a reason case, longer story. not because of the specific police officers fall; this program has a direct connection to the immigration database. it

people always talk about the department of defense, and they should, but not forget the department of state, the role that they perform are around the world is important to america's defense and as important as anything else in terms of avoiding war and conflict in the future. what we learned is we cannot go with inadequate resources and preparation. i think the key, the new challenge will include making certain america is strong, not only through the permanent defense but department of state as well. the last point is anyone who bought "internal investigation and accountability review board would gloss over what happened" need to take a look at this report. admiral will lead is one of our best. they have done an extraordinarily candid and frank job analyzing a very delicate and tragic situation. -- admiral mullen. >> [inaudible] >> that was brought up several times. it was a conclusion on accountability review board that there was no "willful misconduct." it is also clear there was a failure when it came to the management of security. as a consequence, some internal administrative ac

we have a 60-department bureaucracy. they're still working in a lot of different silos and one of the things that we still have to do is get them on a higher level of sharing their data. so, establishing a chief data officer for the city that will work with all the different departments, establish some additional standards for them to create pinpoints in every department of what their data is, what they may not be aware of that they're collecting and computers in our departments and allow that data to flow out. this will be a good addition and a great improvement. it is part of the best practices that we're learning across the country that if we establish a data person, person that will really look for opportunities and establish them with the departments and bring more data out, that will improve our city's performance. >>> the other roll out we're having today, government for the last three years, our government has really been on both the pressure point and i think now realizing a tremendous opportunity to allow our d

but mostly it's to help public service, like the fire department, the police department, the mta know more about how people move around. so, we're providing crowd data. so, if a thousand people pass one of our sensors in an hour, that data will be available publicly. every month. so, chris, do you want to go a little deeper? >> you can see we have a lot of blocks around union square covered. when you show this data to property owners and real estate agents and to retailers, they want to know more about how much -- how many people walk in front of their store every day, kind of the story -- the way i thought of the idea was standing in my balcony looking down at walgreens and realizing they had no idea how many people pass their store every day. they don't know that, how do they know if they're successful because the weather is nice, or because they did something right. so, you want to go into business hours? the wi-fi store here. so, one of our clients is saks fifth avenue and we end up giving them some really great charts about how many people pass while they're open. so, you can see
