the seattle fire department. we are very proud of the fact we had a lot of students hired into san francisco, but as well as many other fire departments throughout the state and throughout the country. we have students that work in career fire departments in austin texas, new york city, so that was really a big plus when one of the students was hired in the fdny. we have a work experience program. our work experience program is constructed so that once a student complete our fire academy, and a emt, they can apply to work in the student work experience program that places them in a fire station in the city for one 10 hour shift a week. they don't work 24 hour shifts, they are not allowed to pgo into burning buildings, allowed to respond to medical calls and participate in all training activities. this program is very successful and it's-the fire houses get a early read on how our students are and they see how qualified they are. we also support the fire department in many activities and we also support fire depar

the department that i'm addressing are being incorporated to department notices. department bulletin will not be an issue. guess this is 7 that i'm referring to. there is 7 for quarter one, 7 that fall into quarter one. >> yes, i believe so. >> do you any department of these issues--[indiscernible] [speaking away from mic] cod you really tried to create a system, and not department notices. so that we could have a better idea. >> okay. >> chief. >> thank you >> if they need to be reissued, they will be reissued as notices but we started the practice even before the 3.21, we regularly did that. so any of the old bulletin this amended, we hope to roll them into the d g.o. process depending on where they fit. >> i just realizes because that was old terminology the new terminology is called operations order which i don't think even exist but i think he meant bureau order. so in addition to the department notices and bulletins can you tell us how many bureau orders have been issued each quarter? i'm assuming that these bureau orders that were issued for the, for use of

we are also grateful for the support of our colleagues in the department of state, department of treasury, and department of homeland security. and i want to express our gratitude to the many mexican service members and law enforcement officers who have bravely put their lives on the line to combat the cartels in their country. i want to again express my condolences to the families of the many mexican service members and officers who have lost their lives in that effort. just yesterday, we met with our law enforcement and security counterparts in the mexican government here at the department of justice. together, we renewed our commitment to working closely in the fight against fentanyl and firearms trafficking. finally, the justice department will never forget the victims of the fentanyl epidemic. we will never forget those who bear responsibility for this tragedy, and we will never stop working to hold them accountable for their crimes in the united states. i will now turn the podium over to deputy attorney general monaco. >> thank you very much, mr. attorney general, and good morning.

departments. i heard the [inaudible] say that herself. and so some departments you know may not finds the features that they are looking for on the platform. it is built in a way what perhaps limits some of functionality that other departments are [inaudible]. and now i would have to defer to her for more details on the specifics why departments have not moved to sf. gov i know they regularly engage departmentos this issue. to speak to the fifth grade reading level. the intention of the. requiring vielth information be available to folks at a fifth grade reading level to make it maximumly accessible to members of public. there are many reasons why individual either by manies that reading level is meant to you know -- make sure any information that affect machine's access to city services or their livelihood is easily attaind and understand. regardless of background or educational attainment. and i think also an leadership of the reading slefl not all folks you know english is not the native langua

department of labor. during her time as secretary of labor in california, she launched the first wage it is a crime campaign so that both employers, if employers as well as the wage workers, better understood their rights and responsibilities. as a secretary of the california labour workforce development agency for the then fifth largest economy in the world, now the fourth largest economy in the world, she managed seven major departments boards and panels to promote quality jobs, provide workforce training and strengthen the states economy. did i mention california has got the fourth largest economy in the world? on a personal note, it was a privilege for me to work alongside julie when she campaigned in california to help low wage workers to understand the rights and feel protected about one speaking up about labor abuses. that is critically important. and timely. i know many of you have expressed concern about recent reports about child labor violations in america. particularly migrants, children being

here i would ask the departments that are responsible for the pension provision of these citizens. pay attention to this issue. today on the agenda is a bill on the extension of the national sports system to donetsk and luhansk of the people's republic of zaporozhye of kherson region, so that their athletes, coaches and judges can use all types of state assistance, the document prepared by the government will allow them to create regional federations and fully enter the all-russian, assign sports titles to participate in competitions, at any level, individual or as part of our teams and receive all the due payments preferences, including for winners for prize-winners. and those who have the gtu badge will be credited additionally, and points for admission to russian universities such measures first of all, they will help preserve sports traditions and young people will have more opportunities to achieve high results. a few words about the issues of state property management on the balance sheet of the state, i would say, there are even thousands of unused buildings, premises of lan

fire department, what will i do in the fire department because i didn't know there were women on theines and trucks and didn't know the difference between engine and truck. the same night i was watching tv and there was a commercial of the fire department recruiting women firefighter and there was a woman all dressed and tolds to go to division of training and 27 and a half year later i'm erhoo. when there is more presence of asian person, asian community it educates the population and helps people understand our community rchl ism i think people hate because they don't understand. i will tell the young women that definitely consider you know, a career in the fire service. don't just think it is just for men, because the fire service is not just suppression. suppression is one portion of it it. there are different parts of it. there is ems portion, the medical portion, the fire prevention portion, and there is also the fire investigative portion. all of the departments needs to work together to keep the city of safe, not just the citizens safe, also the first responders. i thinks the

every person has a good experience with the fire department. no one ever spokous they say, they are here. they're do this work and everybody loves them. not everybody gets that in their job. i don't do it for the recognition but niez nice to see people that respect had you do and know you did a lot to get here and you still do to work and you set your life on the line for other people. it is cool. >>> san francisco, 911, what's the emergency? >> san francisco 911, police, fire and medical. >> the tenderloin. suspect with a six inch knife. >> he was trying to get into his car and was hit by a car. >> san francisco 911 what's the exact location of your emergency? >> welcome to the san francisco department of emergency management. my name is shannon bond and i'm the lead instructor for our dispatch add -- academy. i want to tell you about what we do here. >> this is san francisco 911. do you need police, fire or medical? >> san francisco police, dispatcher 82, how can i help you? >> you're helping people in their -- what may be their most vulnerab

i want to thank the fbi justice department, prosecutors and our colleagues at the department of defense for their diligent work on this case. this investigation is ongoing. we will share more information at the appropriate time. thanks everyone did he have lawful access to these documents? as china's recent military exercises in the taiwan straight. this is about 35 minutes. >> good afternoon, everyone. quite a few things to cover at the top so appreciate your patience in advance and we will get right to your questions. first of all, we are aware of the press reports regarding a potential suspect in the department of justice's ongoing investigation into unauthorized disclosures of documents appearing to emanate from throughout the intelligence community. because this is an ongoing criminal investigation i will have to refer you to the doj for any questions. this is a law enforcement matter. it would be inappropriate for me or any other dod official to comment at this time. when we have more to provide from the department of defense we will. as secretary austen has stated the department

no other department in this city, and let's be clear, no other department in this city, could or even try to get away with this kind of financial mismanagement, why? because what is the mayor and the san francisco police department did here is absolutely prohibited by the san francisco administrative code. sfpd violated administrative code section 3.17b which specifically provides quote any dpept identified in section a, that includes the police department, that proposed to spend more on overtime than the amount so appropriated must first obtain a supplemental appropriation ordinance for that purpose. according to sfpd own data, it was clear na they were on track to over spend their budget fairly early on soon after we approved by the budget, by september of second of last year, just when the budget was starting, just five pay periods into the fiscal year, ne had used nearly half of their overtime budget for the year, so when this body debated and discussed and the budget committee decided what was the appropriate time of overtime by the september of second in just five period sfpd ha

whether or not the department does exit interviews that is for the department. choir preston i will let the cho know about data what they know from background. i will say that like to have 166 million dollars decision on the idea this investment is going to retain receive and base that on no data showing that is a smart or productive way for us to spends if the goal is retention i get there are to thes you got to improve retention this is sell row increase is always on the table. but that is different from actually tracking why people are leaving. where than i are going. right? and correlaing if people are leaving the department in search of increased wage and whether they would have stayed if they got the 10-15% increase. i'm in the saying it is irresidential this can be a factor but basing on anecdotes not data y. supervisor chan. thank you, i want to say i understand today we are looking what is proposed we are looking at the mou. i want to say hasimilarly, i irrelevant want to see with this as a basis we have a successful police department moving forward thi

office department of reparations. i think it's very important that we do have a structure to support. um, are are asked moving forward, and i just want to, um i hope that it supported and moved forward by the whole, um, but also providers and, um thank you very much. thank you for your comments this evening. okay, mr xu. do we have another color in the queue, please? madam clerk. there are no more callers in the queue. thank you, billy. much appreciated, mr president, general. public comment is closed. madam clerk. could you please read the adoption without committee reference calendar. yes items. 32 through 38 were introduced for adoption without reference to committee. a unanimous vote is required for a resolution on first reading today. alternatively any member may require a resolution on first reading to go to committee. would any member like a an item or items severed supervisor ronan item 32. and i will sever item 35 on the balance of the calendar. madam clerk a. we can do that same house. same call. the resolut

[cheers and good morning it meeting will come to order welcome to april 26 meeting of budget and finance committee. >> i am supervisor connie chan. chair. i'm joined by rafael mandelman and supervisor safai. our clerk is brett jalipa. i would like to thank paul from sfgovtv for broadcasting this meeting. mr. clerk. >> thank you. for those here silence cell phones and electronic device as to not sprupt our proceedings the board and committee are convening hybrid meetings. and providing remote access via phone. public comment will be taken on e

but with that, i'm going to make a motion to approve department general order 5.16 for the departmento use in meeting and conferring bargaining units and it's two with two additional edits. if you go to page four of 11 on the dgo, under g1a, the third paragraph says the name of the lieutenant that authorized direct submission and remember for the agency and the -- there are more one, so we're going to strike the words, for the (indiscernible). the name of the lieutenant who authorized the direct submission and reason shall be documented. >> page three. >> remove the words for the exit-gency on page three. the other minor change is on page 8 of 11. journalist and california shield law. if you look at the third paragraph that begins with for any search warrants, and the third line, it says members shall consult. that was just left over language. that should be changed to members shall provide the search warrant and consult, so it's consistent with all the rest of the general order. so, i will make a motion to adopt the dgo with those amendments and with my labor instructions, which i gu

it has been a very busy couple of weeks for the san francisco police department. and i can't be more than happy and proud to be here today. to honor members of department who have been demonstrated extraordinary work it i can and also met the challenges of picture job in a way that is gone above and beyond the call of duty before i move on one some of any comments i wanted to thank and acknowledge the former police chief who is in the back (clapping.) chief and i had a conversation awhile back to talk about what we could do to support police officers in san francisco and in fact, some of you know i've been visiting a number of police stations and hardcore knowing sessions hearing about information that was hard to hear more so because what i think about the challenges of what the department is fashioned when i can't help but think about what i can do or some of the elected and leaders could do to make sure we are doing everything we can to support them. and in fact, it has been a hard couple of years for law enforcement in general we know that the departments over

earlier this year signed is that your department the department of energy determined a lab league is most likely the origin of covid-19. did you agree with your own agency experts covid was most likely linked from the chinese lab? >> found with low confidence because there is conflicting reports and a conflicting opinion within theni community. >> the president signed into law a bipartisan bill directing the administration to declassify information on covid's origin. so will you make public the rope relevant information that covid originate from a lab leak? >> as soon as a director of national intelligence makes the determination are sources and methods are protected progress you agree the american people do have a right to the information? what's in a congress passed a law the president signed it. >> the department is right in the middle of the epa's attempt to regulate the internal combustion while out off existence. the administration will not stop until everything is electrified. we will then be more dependent on china and russiaa for materials are going to batteries and solar pa

going alongside the defense department with the defense department. what this state department of what we are here to discuss today has to deal with the responsibility that the department of state has. and i am extremely glad to see the administration budget request prioritize diplomacy and development. ensuring we have the tools necessary to lead on the global stage and leverage the united states soft power, soft power the better positions united states to address global challenges, deepen our alliances and advance our u.s. interests. the fact of the matter, mr. secretary, at not president biden led we talk about particularly, ukraine, led by having our allies join with us, if we had jumped out there by ourselves putin would have been right. but have been divided. nato would not be strong. the eu would not be where it is working collective together to fight back the aggression of vladimir putin and russia. that unity put us there where we are today. with ukraine at the time no one thought we would be here a year later with ukraine sales and it is the

other departments. mayor london breed says the deal will also help recruit new officers by giving san francisco the highest paid entry level salary for larger cities here in the bay area. police chief bill scott says the department is currently 562 officers short of recommended staffing levels for san francisco supervisor for district nine is heating up with a year. and a half until the election this afternoon, we spoke with community activist trevor chandler. he's joining at least three others who plan to run for the seat. chandler told us he announced early because he's an outsider to city politics, he says his experience as a community activist will help him address tough problems , including drugs, homelessness and crime. i want to make sure that our that we have a community policing model here in san francisco that relies on a fully staffed san francisco police department by making sure that merchants actually know their beat cop making sure that neighborhoods here in the mission actually know who

we ask a lot from the department in this space. from securely operating networks and inherently insecure weapons systems to assisting small and large systems. more important than anything else is how prepared and capable we are to hold our adversaries at risk. i've expressed my concerns about the department's pace for modernizing and growing the ships, aircraft and other weapons for a fight with china. if we accept that we need more time, it is my genuine belief that our ability to robustly use information and cyber operations should provide us with the opportunity to buy time to maneuver for our kinetic forces. while there have been some signs of progress such as the first delivery of a budget built through cybercom commanders enhanced budget authority there are wide gaps between where we are and where we need to be soon. there are issues like force readiness, lack of support and the shortcomings in acquisition of cyber capabilities that continue to plague the cyber force. these problems aren't new and it's remarkable how much eff

after i kid that, the department of -- i did that, the department of labor did issue a directive to all do the same thing. since i've been deputy secretary, what we've been doing at the department of labor is really trying to learn from those lessons to the make sure they are never repeated again to work in collaboration with statements to be clear about the things that we should do on a national level to fight that kind of fraud. that kind of fraud went from state to state. to shore up the up employment insurance safety net so that in the next crisissing ed the really deliver. >> thank you for that response. i wanted to make sure we got as much of that on the record as possible. i'm going to ask you a second question and just ask a commitment from youin to work wh me because i'm running out of time. you and i talked at length in my office about the challenge we have with the defense industrial base in connecticut. we have to the hire 5,700 new workers if connecticut and rhode island -- in connecticut and rhode island to meet the commands of the submarine fleet. we're producing more sub

the department has relative to the authority of the police department. as well as if there had been -- how many use of force, and come plains. and -- [inaudible]. were there huge federal lawsuits with the sheriff's department. [inaudible]. kind of understand and look at the union contracts as well. what types of protections than i have. and how they operate policies, procedures. early on and see if [inaudible]. you can provide technical assistanceor recommendations to the commissioner or board. okay. thank you very much for that. any other questions from board members? okay. thank you so much ms. phillips and the effort you put in this presentation, it is very helpful. >> you are welcome. i can stay on if members have a question for me. that would be great. thank you. that was very helpful and valuable for us to consider your points. >> absolutely. dorm we have a member of public when would -- members of public withhold like to make public comment for item 3, on the presentation by ms. phillips line up at the podium or call 415-655-0001 enter the access

in the 20 years since its creation, the department of homeland security has departed from its original mission and used its expensive authorities in funding to compete on the rights of american citizens. this is not just my opinion, in november of 2022, the aclu concluded 20 years later it's past time to seriously reconsider dhs. it's abusive practices are not just antithetical to our values, their waste of taxpayer dollars and the destruction from serious problems facing people in our country. what should terrify every american is that the full extent of dhs's abuse of power against its own citizens are still largely unknown. the public has only recently learned the degree to which the department cyber and infrastructure security agency, cisa, was employed to surveil and censor american citizen social media for what it concluded to be misinformation and disinformation. what was the result? statements of -- that are now supported by evidence, they were flagged is disinformation. statements including my own that were once labeled by our government as disinformation, such as opinions on

as a police department, they must represent the department with the core values we have and recognizingtheir job, oath of office to support the constitution and to enforce it. prospect the rights of everyone. extremist views have no rights in this organization. last two years we've had instances of social media posts have been made by individuals in this organization that we identified those responsible and did everything possible to fire them. there is no place for racism, no place for bigotry, for sexist remarks that are not reflective of our core values. unfortunately, some of our people have been found. it's a rarity though. i agree with chief bratton, i remember the day, one of the ugliest days in american history of january 6th. and what i saw was thousands of law enforcement officers rushing to protect this great democracy. and we later learned that we had some, very few in regards to the overall population that were there to overthrow this democracy. they tarnish this badge and i'm thankful that i've yet to see a law enforcement leader anywhere in america that has given them any

we need a department of justice.t we need one that functions to advance the interests of the american people. we don't need an fbi and department of justice that functions to enhance its own glory, to perpetuate the careers of the career people who are working there. that is nonsense. it is there to protect the american people from violent crime, to defend the rule of law and to make this country a better place. it is not been doing that especially over the last two years. [applause] >> one of the departments and agencies particularly if the ones you know off the top of your head are important but the department of justice is more important because it confines the president's ability to establish what he can do under the law. the president can't ask questions, you all have lawyers. if you can't ask your lawyer can i do xyz, your lawyer doesn't say you're trying to violate the law, your lawyer is trying to inform the grounds for the conversation. donald trump had a bunch of people around him sitting on eggs and saying

i do have a question for the department of public health. the disterance between the existing security contract between allied universal and the grant is switching to the-preference by the planned parenthood. the difference i try to understand is that ally universal is not armed, but as we switch to with public dollars we will be armed security. >> that is one of the primary differences that ally has been unarmed service, the planned apparent hood normal security company is going to be armed. they are mostly retired police officers and so licensed to carry. the other reason is because the s2 security service is long-standing and quite familiar with strategies and techniques and tactical methods for management the advocates comes to protest and can manage the safety and security for the site, because they have been there. >> when you say former retire police officers are they from sfpd? >> no, i think they- >> in general. >> understood. is the s2 security also being used by planned parenthood outside san francisco? >> yes, they support walnut

it is the department of labor! i want a department of labor that is fighting every day for workers. not as some have characterized it. it is a department that has to administer some 180 federal laws 450 million workers, in town million workplaces. there is a lot of work to do to protect workers. if corporations were doing their jobs, we would not need a department of labor. but you need one in the united states of america. a couple of things about unemployment insurance, this is where the hot air is in this debate about this nomination. i want to clarify a few things. first, california is a huge state. they paid more claims than anybody. one in five of all unemployment claims in the country. is that correct? >> that is correct, senator. >> isn't it true that 95 to 98% of the fraud in california was not from the regular unemployment program that you administer, but actually from the specially created pandemic unemployment assistance program created by the united states senate in the house in the middle of the pandemic? is that true? >> that is true, senator. >> here is what we have.

when i think of the department i think of it in that way, standing up for american values. so grateful for everything you do and you've done for the country and for the world. you know, every 9/11 i think about a friend of mine named david from delaware. the year before 9/11, i was watching television in my recreation room looking at my grandkids in the swimming pool and all of a sudden they broke in and showed someone sitting on the bank of the delaware chesapeake canal with his head in his hands and they said he had just lost his youngest son because what happened with a small boat they had. he had died. picked up the phone, was dialing and as i watched him dial the phone, my phone rang. he was calling me to tell me what had happened. then a year later i was with him on 9/11, not with him but near him when he got a phone call. his oldest son six days into his job on the 104th floor of the south tower in the world trade center. he went straight to ground zero in search of his son and searched deep into hope as he put it in a few days later after they finally found him, his

the department? and making sure they meet contract obligations. >> so this is observed by myself as the program manager when i'm out in the field and by our public works and operations team when they are in the field if they bench anything they'll report and we will reach out to cyc and notify them of anything we need corrected. >> but grantees and in general so do we have a unit that -- over sees that and ensures guarantees live up to contractual obligations? >> the obligation of 3 key areas one is the program manager. a lot is done through observation and data reporting. there is the quantitative is incorporateed the performance measures that are electroniced and machine tord. and i think third is this is improvement we are wing to standardize. both they have been instrumental in the rfp's for grants we are working to make the workforce development consistent and standards to improve electronic and reporting than i are pre, prenticeship to gain employment in the city. we are w to improve that t. is
