card that allows them to buy alcohol from a wholesaler the right now no one is not the department of public safety to process those cars we have a permit. well and that he is going to give us his libertarian first. but from my perspective i think that once you start taking people's booze away when they can't go to the bars anymore and there's nothing to drink then that's when you might see some protests in the street you might see some riots and that's when they're going to kick the government in the butt and say enough with the shutdown figure out your problem and this is going to affect cigarette smokers because a lot of the people that sell cigarettes and get cigarette licenses are going to be affected i think when the cigarette smokers can't smoke that's when you're going to really really. you know it's unfortunate that it's going to be this that winds up kicking the lawmakers into doing something right now there's a report there's a couple across the border in canada where they've just adopted a child but they can't bring the child across state lines or from canada into my state without the s

and the district attorney and the department of public safety for their hard work in making this investigationk out very smoothly. it was very difficult. and very manpower intensive and everybody came together at their local, state, and federal level to bring it to a quick closure as far as an arrest but there is a lot of follow-up yet to be done. any questions? (inaudible). >> ft. hood was the target for this young man? can you elaborate. >> it is still under investigation. the information we obtained ... we are working through that. i will say that military personnel were a target of this suspect. >> did he explain why? >> we have a lot of information and as you know, interview and interrogation aspect of it, and based on information and other leads we have there is a physicalup, and i can tell you today this is a lot of at mist that sense so we are trying to be careful what is being said publicly until we have a chance to vet that. >> there were two other individuals possibly involved we heard. >> what happened was there was another incident in killeen involving the response unit and some p

department that was leaked by the group, a siper hacking group that hacked into the arizona department of public safety maneuvers. it warns of a growing partnership between hezbollah and the cartels and that hezbollah is establishing large stockpiles of sophisticated weapons in mexico. the memo points to evidence such as the arrest of a hezbollah militant in tijuana last year trying to set up a base of operations there. the arrest of another militant in new york, which exposed a huge cashe of weapons stored in mexico, and the fact that cartels are changing tactics, using more car bombs and improvised explosive devices versus guns and knives which has always been their trait. here is a former drug enforcement agent talking about the threat. listen. >> what happens with this kind of scenario, really, is the witch's brew comes together. that cannot be good for us and it cannot be good for our national security, nor can it be good for mexico's columbia's or any other freedom-loving country around the world. >> reporter: a north carolina congresswoman says she has spoken with law leaders, with law enforceme

of the department on the right path. it is critical that whoever the next chief of police is continue that modernization of the department. it will have benefits citywide. in my district, we have public safety challenges. the district is often viewed as a "safe district." we do have violence. we had a bunch of violence around delores park last year. there have been robberies in glen park and parts of the valley. there have been shootings in diamond heights. one of the challenges is making sure that the police department understands that even though we may not have the same crime levels as some neighborhoods, we still need attention from the police department. >> let's talk about the city's economic development. are we on the right track? what would you like to change about the approach to developing the economy? >> we are getting better. the city as got more proactive about attracting businesses and new industries and providing incentives for them to come and stay here. it is still a very expensive place to do business in terms of the cost of labor, land. we need to make sure that we are not taxing businesses to the point that it is not profitable and we are not attractive for them to be he

department as the post-release community supervision authority is considered an adopted by the board of supervisors. supervisor mirkarimi: every city and county is required to designate a specific agency for assembly bill 19, public safety that process, we have asked the san francisco probation department to be that , lead that orchestration. and to do that, we will be beginning the process of the prison realignment implementation plan of adult probation. as we read this resolution that designates that officially. we have submitted a report that goes into deeper detail on the details of how all the adult probation will enfold. we plan to hear more on this in coming weeks. any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. the item is moved. madam clerk, i any other business? >> no, mr. chairman. supervisor mirkarimi: i would like to thank everyone for their contributions. the meeting is now adjourned. >> about four years ago, [inaudible] look at how beautiful this was. there is our relationship to the planet. these regions are the wealthiest, the most powerful. that really has impacted the planet. it is almost impossible now to go anywhere and had it really be completely dark. there are very few locations that y

report to the california joint legislative audit committee, the california department of public health, and the california seismic safety commission in compliance with california assembly bills 1823 and 2437. >> president vietor, commissioners, good afternoon. could you turn on the projector? thank you. we are seeking commission approval to revisions to the program, a process we go through every couple years. it is common industry practice to periodically adopt new schedules and budgets for the program, the magnitude, and complexity of the water program. the packets for today's public hearing include a number of documents that do support the changes we are proposing to make on the program. i am happy to report he will not see any surprises today. these changes are consistent with what i have been reporting to you and the board of supervisors through my quarterly reports. except for a few minor changes, our proposals are just hanging as the forecast -- are just saying as the forecast from late may as part of the quarterly update. we are in deep implementation of the program with ongoing construction projects worth over $

. >>> san jose gets hit with another round of public safety cuts. the department effected this time. >>> the number of people driving this holiday weekend is down over the last year. did they all end up at the airport instead? >>> and fire works go on sale in several bay area cities this morning. the reason the police will be watching closely and where you can use them. the morning news continues. >>> good morning, to you. we're ready it's friday it's the first day of july i'm dave clark. >> and i'm pam cook. thank you for joining us. let's check in with steve paulson. people want to know what it will be like this weekend. >> it won't be raining. it will be sunny to warm to hot. by the coast even though it's fog free, 60s and 70s. there still a little hint of a westerly breeze. it won't take long for inland areas to warm up. low 90s for some. 60s and 70s maybe near 80 near santa cruz. >> traffic looks good on interstate 880. we are expecting it to be a nice commute on this friday morning. trying to get out of the bay area may be a different story. also we are look

safety benefits. supervisor chiu: i certainly agree with those comments. the three biggest users of overtime are the mta, transit, police department and fire, public safety. it seems to me that that should be a consideration. is it job classifications that will have much more significant impacts if something would go wrong? i know that we heard a presentation from one of your colleagues. we heard loud and clear that the mta has a history of really not being able to get a good hold of overtime. i think that we know what the explanations have been for the past, but i have not gotten a clear sense of what the path is going forward in terms of putting a cap on these things. >> we are aware of the concerns raised by the committee members. you are correct. over time as recorded was a black box to drive over time. the service model and the level of vacancies available, what we are attempting to do pick is -- we recognize that the city business model will have to be amenable. it is good business sense to use overtime as a tool. we are not 24/7, quite, but we are fairly significant. we are attempting to break out of that blockbuster overtime and determine the appr

department has devolved into a state of confusion that is truly monumental. this monumental confusion creates huge cost for customers and the department itself. i must remind you this is a public agency in charge of public safety. public safety is clearly being compromised by allowing this day to be in her position. i have required directives before. i can only assume there are no directives for staff to be produced in her defense. ms. day is therefore charged with misconduct and should be taken away from her position. if you do not dismiss her, it will be a civic obligation failure. i believe there are additional improprieties that can be exposed. i must remind you that i informed you of this obvious malfeasance. any filly to act immediately on this threat to the health and safety of the people who live and work in san francisco will unfortunately spread the taint of malfeasance. if you are willing to forgo your civic obligations, i cannot strongly recommended that you consider your legal exposure. on top of all else, i urge you to do the right thing. i would like to recommend to all commissioners and city attorneys represented to seek legal counsel regarding this matter. thank you. >> any other public commen

numbers ready, both for the probation department and for the other public safety departments and come to you with a plan and a funding proposal that would be part of the larger state budget discussion, where we make a determination about how we allocate out the state budget reserve and how we're going to implement some of the other proposals in the state budget. so we will fold that conversation together and bring that to the board probably within the next couple of months. the timing is still a little bit uncertain, but this fall, to have bought the policy discussion and financial discussion about what the impacts are on operations. supervisor mirkarimi: now that some of the blanks are being filled in, because the state appears to be arriving at a budget resolution, there will be another meeting, and we have already hit -- already had two on this. we can begin to round out what we expect to win with the first infusion be? january or sooner? -- when will the first infusion be? >> likely, october 2. when they release on october 1, they released into our custody for probation supervision. the court commitments will take a little bit longer. one thin

put additional responsibility and work load on all public safety agencies, and not only the public safety agencies, the social service and of the department of public health. but to the degree that we can create an intervention, as we design in this plan, we have an opportunity to improve the outcome. which would then decrease -- you know, could eventually end of decreasing overall populations. because we know what the needs of this population is. it is going to be housing, jobs. it will be those types of educational opportunities were there is ged, high school, or vocational training so they can get the job. it will also be other services that they're going to need to support case management, mental health, substance abuse. so these individuals already are utilizing our system to some degree. so what we're really proposing to do is to create a plan to where we have some dedicated capacity, and we have also created such things like an adult creation where we have a community assessment and a service center to where we bring all the resources to a single location. instead of having to violate someone on probation or parole, or on this case

peace officer that would be a member of the surest part by 2 has been the primary safety person inside our public institutions. when the testimony last week by the department of public health suggested, asserted there would be more authority given to a security guard, i did ask the surest apartment and i have talked with legal counsel to understand what and how we would be able to rely on that difference of authority in a rent a guard verses a peace officer. i can see where there might be a splitting of hairs, but i walked away from my query of them thinking our gut feeling is right. a peace officer unquestionably is more empowered statutory away to be able to do what's -- statutory early to be able to do a security guard is not. even if there is debate, knowing the industry of private security, or you have high turnover cali have people who are typically not on pension and have very little benefits. the fact we would actually rely on them in situations that could be high risk for more at risk situations based on a proposal submitted to us i think would automatically make anybody question how the practical expectation is that this particular security guard

earlier today so have more of the funding go away from the sheriff's department and towards the services and the communities that are going to create the kind of long-term public safety outcomes that our county needs. and then i also wanted to echo what the previous speaker said around s.f. county being a model to other counties. we're working statewide with a lot of counties on their realignment plans. and i was so excited to hear a lot of the way you all are talking about alternatives through incarceration and programming. and i encourage you to share those models with other counties. because we're seeing a lot of threats of other counties expanding their jail capacity instead of actually supporting people to be successful in the community and stay in the community as opposed to increasing people's times in the jails. and then curb, a lot of the work we're doing is also on

how do we sort of reconciled that reality, when the police department is actually being used in this kind of repetitive way to help deal with the primary responsibility of public safety in dealing with repeat offenders? how could we possibly do something with this opportunity to make sure we are able to get to a place where we are lowering the statistics of you having to do with that level of population of repeat offenders? >> my

how do we sort of reconciled that reality, when the police department is actually being used in this kind of repetitive way to help deal with the primary responsibility of public safety in dealing with repeat offenders? how could we possibly do something with this opportunity to make sure we are able to get to a place where we are lowering the statistics of you having to do with that level of population of repeat offenders? >> my initial thing would be to have successful outcomes in all these programs that have just been outlined to you. in other words, the resources -- housing has been thrown out there. the police department -- we do not have resources. you brought up the budgetary numbers. we are not sharing in any of the budgetary numbers. we will make do with the budget you have so generously supplied us. supervisor mirkarimi: i am only bringing this in stark contrast that in some ways we are keeping this in supply to do something on the front end that is constantly being fuelled by something on the back end. the police department is the primary responder, right? it is dealing with the response needs of the heavy repeat offender population. i think it is a questi

one of the things i talk a lot about on the campaign, making sure that we do fund our public safety departments. we have to make some tough decisions this year, but to me, one of the biggest priorities is making sure that we have our police and firefighters and sheriffs' offices and their budgets fully funded so that we can ensure that public safety does not lag during these budget times. again, in district 2, i do not think it is talked about as much. we are fortunate that we do not have a lot of homicides. we do not have a lot of those types of serious crimes. but the crimes that to happen to matter to the people in district two. so as a local supervisor, it is incumbent upon me, and i take it very seriously to pay attention and make sure we engage with the police and fire department said they are aware of exactly what is happening, but again, i have to tell you that i think we are very lucky with the police infrastructure we have an firefighter infrastructure we have and the officers and firefighters we have on the ground. we are very lucky. >> you mentioned that you are a former athlete. ta
