supervisor sean elsbernd. supervisor elsbernd: we can do this all night. mr. president, i would like to divide the file. president chiu: we are dividing this file. supervisor sean elsbernd has done this unilaterally. supervisor ross mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: this is the same exercise. i make the motion and amendment and reattaching. president chiu: if we could take that motion without objection. motion passes. supervisor sean elsbernd. supervisor elsbernd: i would like to divide the file, mr. president. president chiu: supervisor sean elsbernd unilaterally divided the file. supervisor ross mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: i would like to take a station break for supervisor daly. he would like me to follow through so i will make my amendment again. it's a familiar song. it is to reattach the parts divided by supervisor sean elsbernd 42 and 43. president chiu: is there a second to the motion? seconded by supervisor david campos. that passes. supervisor elsbernd: i would like to divide the file. president chiu: supervisor daly, i had already acknowledged -

supervisor avalos: supervisor elsbernd. supervisor elsbernd: following up on the economic impact on jobs and the public sector job growth, i almost wonder if your section of the comptroller's office and the other section of the comptroller's office might want to communicate a little bit in that respectively over the next few years it would be a mistake to say that the budget will grow. looking ahead we know that we have a budget deficit. to say that new jobs will be created, would not be more accurate to say that we will retain jobs? instead of getting new jobs? >> you are absolutely right on that point. i do not want to give representation that this represents a gross of the public sector. these are jobs that will not be lost just because the city revenue is growing by $15 million in the context of the revenue loss experience. supervisor elsbernd: potentially there is retention of public- sector jobs but a net loss of private sector jobs. >> yes. supervisor elsbernd: what this represents to us is the exchange of a loss of

supervisor elsbernd: puc? >> this item, actually, we had some similar comments at the public utilities commission prior to the passage there, and to make sure, although we have made proper notification at that time -- chair maxwell: and your notification process is? >> i believe it is to notify everyone within 300 feet of the property, so we held the meeting over at the puc for another two weeks to make sure that everyone was notified, and we also ran it through the attorney's office, and they were comfortable that everything was done according to city regulations. chair maxwell: supervisor mar? supervisor mar: can i just say that i think cpuc needs to do a better job in notifying residents, particularly in park merced? -- can i just say that i think the puc needs to do a better job? this is like a relocation agreement that is negotiated between the puc and san francisco state that i am having a hard time understanding how this could lead to a displacement of people, but i would strongly encourage strong notif

supervisor elsbernd: puc? >> this item, actually, we had some similar comments at the public utilities commission prior to the passage there, and to make sure, although we have made proper notification at that made proper notification at that time --

supervisor elsbernd. and, madam clerk, that is the last item we have on the agenda, so we are adjourned. thank you for your support. supervisor chiu: welcome to the public meeting of the san francisco public safety board. i am david chu. i am joined by sean elsbernd and ross mirkarimi. do we have any announcements? >> [clerk announcements] supervisor chiu: please call item 1. >> hearing on san francisco's public safety conditions, including a discussion of citywide crime levels and crime levels by police district station and or neighborhood. supervisor chiu: we are joined by the san francisco police department for a presentation. >> good morning, supervisors, i am here to report on the extraction period from july 42009 to july 10, 2010. homicides are down. rate is down 56% -- rape is down from 15 to 7. robberies are up 1.6%. aggravated assaults are also down 10%, 298 to 267. property crimes in the area of burglary, down 23%. 43 burglaries in the last extraction period, this year, 12th. burberry that from

elsbernd. supervisors elsbernd: i do not think anyone has raised more issues than i have on this. tw reasons why i think this should be rejected. -- two reasons. truth is, there's been significant review. we have very limited resources. i think if we are going to use those resources, we should use those to focus on those departments that have not had any review. secondly, and perhaps maybe it should not be raised, but i think it needs be raised, there have been things quoted by members of the board that retribution needed to be exacted against the public defender's office. i do not want to be a party to that. whether you agree or disagree with what the public defender has done, we should not disagree -- should not in any way exact retribution. we all know that is what this is. let's not disabuse our power for a sort of a political retribution. president chiu: supervisor campos? supervisor campos: one of the interesting things about being on the board of supervisors is you never know what is going to happen. chloÉ against this item in reference to the public defender, so anything i

joined by my colleagues supervisor mirkarimi:, supervisor elsbernd. madam clerk, do we have any announcements? >> all persons attending this meeting are requested turn off all cell phones and pagers. if you wish to submit speaker cards, please place them in the container to your left. please submit extra copies of the bile. supervisor avalos: thank you, caller. please call our one item. >> . item number one, ordinance amending the san francisco administrative code, 106 through 106.28, to impose a wholesalers and certain other persons who distribute or sell francisco to: 1) recover a portion of san francisco's alcohol-attributable unreimbursed health costs, and; 2) fund administration costs. supervisor avalos: thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, this is our second hearing on this item. last week i embedded amendments that we discussed that i will summarize the day. basically we had changed based on the economists' report that there is a higher level of consumption of alcohol in san francisco and alcoholic sales in san francisco, therefore the fee would

supervisor elsbernd: good. chairperson avalos: i want to thank you for the work of a department on finding cost savings and negotiating contracts for the city, and mr. rose for the work of your office to help us achieve even more cost savings. it is important that we are able to make these changes with the way our deficit is running. my question is related to the census and the inmate population of the jails. how is that? i know a lot of inmates were released after the problem with the crime lab. "since that time, is that remaining stable? is that fluctuating up or down? >> the census is starting to come up somewhat. we are still at a 24% decrease from prior year. we are at 1685 today and we normally would run about 1800. it is starting to creep up. the sheriff anticipates we will be near 1800 by the end of the calendar year. chairperson avalos: colleagues, any other comments or questions? if we could open this up for public comment? it is for item six. we will close public comment. supervisor mirkarimi: motion

supervisor elsbernd: thank you. supervisor chiu: as i look at my own district's statistics, it looks like crime has gone up 41%. could you help me break that down? how you add up the numbers, what is a 40% increase inpart 1 crimes representing? >> and increase of 12% in robberies, 17 to 19. there was a 9% increase in aggravated assaults. 23 to 25. in the area of dv, a 50% drop. stay where a court order is not related to dv, those numbers were not calculated in 2009. could you point out to me where you see the increase? supervisor chiu: the bottom of the sheik, the aggregate number. 86% increase in the number of aggravated assaults. 16% increase in larceny. are these numbers -- do you average them? do you get that from an average? >> each number is taken separately. supervisor chiu: the numbers are calculated separately. so the 47% number reflects the specific number of incidents, as opposed to blending those percentages in the middle column. ok, supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. good morning, ca

supervisor elsbernd: it does not, ok. chairperson avalos: i am kind of surprised to hear that $500 per meter is what the average is, knowing that i have been dinged at major's quite frequently -- at meters quite frequently. supervisor mirkarimi: i think we owned a couple of meters. [laughter] >> that is a turbo ratio. the purpose to increase meter revenue of giving fewer tickets. we really want people to pay at the meter and reduce the number of tickets we give overall. we do not make that much more money as a result, but our driving customers should be a lot happier. it also reduces our administrative burden of processing and dealing with protests related to that number. that is another area where we can reduce our costs. chairperson avalos: do you feel you will be lowering the cost for citations, or the number of citations? you still have a lot of vagueness -- uncertainty, perhaps -- about what the actual revenue would be. you are assuming adjustments will be based on usage as well. >> the revenue estimates were conserv

supervisor elsbernd: they will be assisting, but not collecting and transferring? >> correct. they do not have the ability to know where distributors sell of call in the state of florida. of course, we are concerned about sales within san francisco. they cannot really assist us with that part of it. but they can assist us with providing names and addresses of these 4000 wholesalers. supervisor avalos: supervisor mirkarimi is going to have to leave for another meeting. so, i thought that we would have the acceptance of the amendment as a whole fifth, essentially with language that clarifies the role of the collector on standard fees for beer and wine, as well as spirits. lowering the overall amount based on the economic report based on 25%. without objection? supervisor mirkarimi: ok [unintelligible] supervisor avalos: yes. the timeline we are looking at for this legislation, supervisor mirkarimi has to leave. based on the amendments we will have to have another committee meeting on that, monday morning at 11:00 this coming monday. whatever happens there is forwarded to the ful

i am joined by supervisor mirkarimi and supervisor elsbernd. will be joined soon by supervisor campos. i would like to excuse supervisor maxwell. she is excused. do we have any announcements? >> all persons attending this meeting are requested to turn of cell phones and pagers. if you wish to present any documents to the committee, provide a copy to the clerk for inclusion. if you wish to speak during public comment, please fill out the speaker card. actions will appear on the agenda august 3, 2010 unless otherwise stated. chairperson avalos: please call item one. >> item 1, resolution approving the third amendment of the agreement between the city and western states oil, increasing the total not to exceed amount of the contract from $25 million to $50 million and extending the term for one year, pursuant to charter section 9.118. >> naiomi kelly, said the purchaser. we want to increase the contract from $25 million to $50 million. this field contract is to support gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel for the city fleet and pieces of equipment inclu

supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor alioto-pier: aye. >> there are 11 ayes. president chiu: i suggest that we go to our 3:30 special commendations. why do we not start with supervisor daly. supervisor daly: thank you very much, mr. president. i would like to take this opportunity to recognize collins. president chiu: supervisor maxwell. supervisor maxwell: thank you. i would like to take this time to recognize somebody that is celebrating her 100th birthday on august 6, 2010. [applause] she was born on august 6, 1910 in richmond, louisiana. she moved to san francisco in 1945. she has lived in the western district before moving to the bayview district. she is the member of the order of eastern star for more than 40 years. she has served as a stay at home mom. everybody calls their mom a king. is the mother of 14 children. a host of other neighborhood children. on behalf of the board, i extend my pur-congratulation and proclaimed august 6, 2010, katy king in honor of your 100th birthday. [applause] >> ok. good

[reading names] >> good afternoon, supervisors avalos, elsbernd. we have seen cut after cut in critical services for treatment and prevention. there are those who wanted to reach out, with the principal at the local high school addressing issues, but, unfortunately, the program was disbanded because of significant cuts. risking their futures. alcohol is the no. 1 drug of choice for alcohol -- four teenagers in san francisco. there is a stunning number of alcohol billboards and signs. i feel that this fee is a very sensible and reasonable way to effectively prevent and treat alcohol problems at a time when the services are incredibly important. thank you so much. chair avalos: thank you. next speaker, please. >> director, good afternoon, supervisors. you have received your written response in response to the legislation, so i am not going to vote -- to mention that. with supervisor mirkarimi, kind any -- putting it into economic perspective, in relation to our small wine stores and the neighborhood commercial corridors, the costs have been identifie

supervisor elsbernd. supervise elsbernd: today is purely an informational meeting. this will go before the full board and, of course, the planning commission. this is just the first of what will probably be a series of meetings about parkmerced. we also have the project sponsors that are going to make a presentation. if we could, i see the director of planning is here. john, would you mind taking things off? -- kicking things off? >> thank you. we have been working with the mayor's office and others on this, for a long time. primarily because of the scope of this project. while this project is a single private development, it is as large as many of the re- deployment plans that you have been seen recently, in terms of the size of the acreage and the number of units and so on. it is comparable to doing a large neighborhood plan. because of that, we have been working with them on a number of things that you will hear from staff about. we have also been working closely with mta on transportation issues and with the mayor's office on issues related to the development ag

supervisor elsbernd: and that is the extreme example? ok, thank you. supervisor avalos: there were comments last week at the small business commission that we apply a feedback by about 5 cents for a drink. that you apply that feed at the distributor level and there will be a trickle-down effect to make 50 much higher at the ground level. some folks even express that it would be almost a $1 increase. your thoughts on that them >> i do not see the economic reason in thinking that wholesale distributors should be able to pass through more than what the fee cost them. if they could unilaterally raise costs, i would assume it would be doing that now and that right now they are basically charging as much as they can. it costs increase by 3 cents for a drink, i can see passing on 3 cents. i do not see how they can pass more, as it is a competitive business. >> as has been expressed by many, they are concerned about the cumulative factor based on city initiatives in san francisco. i'm hearing various information or disinformation regarding impact. what would y

supervisor elsbernd moves this passed to the board of supervisors. next item, please. >> item 4, authoress in -- authorization to the mayor's office of housing to expand soma community stabilization fund dollars under certain conditions in the amount of $2,762,000. >> i am with the mayor's office of housing assigned to the agency. i request the committee recommend the full board approve this resolution to extend approximately $2.75 million to subsidize the development of onside affordable rental housing use its -- housing units at 333 harrison street. i have submitted an amendment makes changes to the resolution from the july 3 meeting. i will read those after representation. the project at 333 harrison is a new project which would generate approximately $3.20 million in soma community stabilization fees, a fee established in 2005 as an amendment to the planning code for mitigation of the impact of residential development in the area. the fund must be used to addressed various impact of development and can be used for affordable housing, economic and
