chairperson farrell: that would be helpful. we want to learn best practices and see how we are doing good and bad. i agree that tells a pretty good story of what is happening. but i think we need to dig a little deeper before we jump to conclusions about why. >> let us go to the next slide. this gives you a pie chart, talking about all of the households with children. you can see that 57% of households with children are on either end of the spectrum, either over 150% or less than 50%. this relates to some information about middle income housing, where san francisco tend to be a barbell sort of city. you have a high number of households at the low-end, a high number of households at the high end. there is a much smaller range in the moderate to middle income level. this reflects that. >> maybe this was answered before, but we do not have the comparative data with other cities? >> not with other cities. this chart is what was referenced by the director in terms of the first 5 data. this talks about the decline in the last 10 year

chairperson farrell: to purchase? >> i am sorry. to rent. chairperson farrell: with homeowners, how does that pair? home ownership in san francisco is very expensive, as is right. i believe it is a fact that we pay more in san francisco as a percentage of gross income on whether you rent or mortgage. >> what this chart is trying to get to is that if you are at the 120 to 150%, you are generally able to find, if you search long enough, an apartment that is somewhat affordable. the picture changes dramatically when we talk about home ownership. you are at 100 per -- 100 to 2% -- 100% ami. you are not able to get up to the median sales price. you're pretty far from it all the way around. chairperson farrell: this is that 30%? >> 33% for home ownership. affordable is defined at 33%. you and i probably do not know many people who are paying 33% of their income. chairperson farrell: i think lenders right now -- the standard -- i have been in discussion with lenders about other policies around home ownership. that are lending even jumbo loans for s

chairperson farrell: that would be helpful. we want to learn best practices and see how we are doing good and bad. i agree that tells a pretty good story of what is happening. but i think we need to dig a little deeper before we jump to conclusions about why.

>> supervisor farrell, you're starting it right today. the efforts we are seeing over the past five years have been instrumental. i don't think we have this level of partnership and to requirement -- and requirement from 15 years ago. that is why i was very grateful and the superintendent was very grateful to be able to be here. we can work for ways that we can cooperate and share a playground, for example. how we get the word out, it is a slow process. i don't think there is just a silver bullet that we can just come on land. i think it is an evolutionary process that began years ago. supervisor avalos: just to say i'm sure all of the members of the board of supervisors actively take part in events that happened in schools and our district, - -in -- in our district. i have been at lots of school- sponsored events at the high school, the institute of technology, cleveland elementary school. the opportunity that we take doing the reading, we had a time capsule 100 years ago where it was opened and a great event. there are great ways that w

supervisor farrell. supervisor farrell: thank you, president chiu. colleagues and members of the public today, i am both happy and p sad but very honored to be presenting a certificate of honor and commendation to a good friend and a really important part of our fabric here in san francisco for the past number of years. cindy brannan. cindy, come on up here. [applause] so everyone, cindy for the past seven years has been the executive director of san francisco safe here in our city. safe for those of you who don't know, i believe most of you know of it, it's an organization focused on safety in our community, in our neighborhoods, i think probably best known for neighborhood watch and so forth over the years, and has set up hundreds in san francisco but also does a lot with personal safety protection, involved with businesses in our community, and before coming here to the board of supervisors, i had the honor of being on the board of directors at ss-safe and i see a number of the board members and our police department including chief sir and the ca

supervisor farrell, i referenced the family satisfaction survey. i don't have the total number of families involved, but 96% of the families say that their child enjoys going to school. a 93% say that they are going to a nurturing environment. 91% would recommend the schools to other parents, at 90% says that the child says that they love the school. what they want to talk about -- lastly, what i want to talk about is a model city district partnership. and this is what -- this is one of the most exciting aspects of having us here today. the city takes an active role in its students. even though we have a low population of students and a lower than average concentration in public schools, the city cares about the public school students. the kindergarten to college program by cisneros. to provide accoutnnts for students to be able to save for college. the rainy day fund. the education richmond fund. a host of other programs have been critical. the mission promised in neighborhood grant, but the district was a huge part of that. we have seen huge diff

supervisor farrell: thank you, phil. we appreciate the presentation. we'll try to speed things up here. dan kelly, then you for being here from our human services agency to give a little bit of overview from your department and your perspective. >> i oversee planning for human services agency. our agency has to departments, the department of human services that includes medical, food stamps, children's protective services, etcetera. our perspective is maybe a little broader, and the lenses basically poverty. we see family flight not isolation, but part of broader trends. the fight of african americans from the city and the alarming rise in social isolation among san franciscans, particularly low-incumbeome ones. it doesn't show very well. can that be centered? this was a great chart. the title, in particular. it shoews the adult and child population. san francisco has always had very few children. if we look back to the 50s, the baby boom population, the sixties, white families started to migrate from the suburbs. we continue to have very low number of

supervisor farrell: good luck with that. >> we need more sports fields. supervisor farrell: you have mentioned the synthetic fields, and some of that is controversial. my question is, as you look to the future,

supervisor farrell. supervisor farrell: i want to support this legislation and thank you for that, you have done a lot of work on it. the question that is dragging me here, the small businesses -- that is striking me here. the small businesses that do not have a -- much storage in the bank -- in the back. are the -- how do we have -- deal with it for small businesses that have much -- do not have much square footage. how does that work? >> we are talking about commercial property. we also have to make sure that we are following building code or the fire code and safety code. a lot of small businesses are not going to have the room to be able to create that kind of space that is needed. the would-be -- they would be subject to an exception if there is not space enough for a bicycle facility to -- a place to store bikes. they would not be subject to a because there's a need to meet the safety code. we do not have passed this legislation is without penalties right now. -- wethis legislation is without penal

supervisor farrell: good afternoon, everyone. welcome to the meeting of the government ought and oversight committee meeting. i am joyous today by supervisor elsbernd and president chiu. the clerk is alisa miller. i want to thank sftv john ross and -- >> please make sure to silence of funds and the electronic devices. in the documents included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk. supervisor farrell: item number one, please. >> hearing on the recent statistics and potential policies to address family fight. supervisor farrell: i called for this hearing last year, and i want to thank all the members of the different city departments here today that deal with family issues in san francisco. we actually have a pretty robust line of speakers here, thank you for taking the time to be here. i also want to thank my staff and miss stephanie that has spent a lot of time putting this together. after the 2010 census was released showing a lot of family fled from san francisco, this has been a personal issue as a father of tw

chairperson farrell: thank you. next speaker. >> gabriel holland, san francisco but the coordinator for 1021. i want to thank the city for bringing this to your city. i hope you support it. our union supports it. as gus feldman mentioned earlier, deskilling captures part of the picture. to go more global, it is about valuing the work of people of color. that is why these classifications years ago had a raise. we had a comparative for the study and found those positions were underfunded because the were primarily women and people of color. 80% to 90% women and people of color. the value of their work, because of sexism and racism, is considered lower. those wages were increased. we were sorry to see the decrees and fought vigorously against that, as some of you may know. we are pleased this wrong was addressed before. we are pleased it is being addressed again. thank you very much. chairperson farrell: thank you. any other members of the public that wish to speak? seeing none, a public comment is closed. colleagues,

supervisor farrell:. -- supervisor farrell: thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. i am so pleased the government audit and oversight committee is taking on this task as -- on family flight. as much as these statistics, but to thousand eight -- 2009, eight reach of contract, one nuisance. 2010, 173 breach of contract, no nuisance. 2011, 195 breach of contract, one nuisance. up till now, there is over 350 people who have received three date notices. if this government audit and oversight committee is sincere about trying to keep people in san francisco, i would hope you would try to keep everyone in san francisco, not the super- rich. not the super-well-off. being of low-income, fixed income, ssi, social security, disabled, senior citizens, all those individuals who do not matter to this group because mark farrell, sean elsbernd, david chiu voted for high- density and to destroy parkmerced. they started their huge sweep of evicting all bus. where we to go? you are part of the problem. you are the problem. i wish you would -- there is no safety net for us. i wish you'

supervisor farrell: there are a lot of programs we want more of, for sure. do you have statistics on usage? how are we guiding metrics and how are we thinking about this? >> we have some very good metrics. we do track our program registrations both on a year-to- year basis and season-to-season basis. march 3 was the first day of registration for the spring registration season. we have 3300 registrations in the first day, 700 more than last year. it was growth of about 14%. that is something we are working on. we want to make sure the class's we are offering -- classes we're offering. we strive for a 70% occupancy rate. we have people on long waiting lists and the things that are not as full. it has to do with time, location, subject matter, and marketing. we earned every bit of marketing that we get. yeah, i know. i reall don't like the tie. i stopped wearing in around july of 2008. i think it is helping a particular demographic, we are now competing with private sector recreational amenities and suburban recreational amenities in terms of the outdoor action

chairperson farrell: is two bedrooms plus defined as family friendly? >> it is defined as family housing. i think it probably relates back to president chiu's question. if you have five kids, is a two- bedroom really going to be enough? what is the ability to finance either at market rate or in an affordable sending those multi- room units? i think it is a challenge. i cannot speak to all the intricacies of financing. it has been a challenge to create those additional units. the affordability gap, even on the rental side, increases dramatically, if you need five bedrooms in a rental situation. it is very difficult to find those larger units, rental or ownership. chairperson farrell: it is not just someone who has one child, or maybe to that can be in a room together. when you start to have families, or parents want to have larger families, are the automatically priced out and gone? i think that is part of what we are talking about. it would be interesting to find more data. >> just a few more. overall, this talks about what are the citied the-restricted

supervisor farrell: thank you. i appreciate all the public comment, but i have not spoken with any members of the public to spoke to my office before today, so i'm surprised that that, but i read it to everyone, as i always have, at my door is open to people what to think about changes possibly to this legislation. the one comment i will say to what mr. walsh was talking about, section four, that is something we put in. it is not something i am wedded to if there is strong feeling among community members. i'm happy to take thatit is somh in different departments. we want to make sure that it captured and work through different apartments and whether it captured all things. -- that this was behind. this is not meant to be a cog in the will but to bring neighborhoods and neighborhood members into the planning process and to get their voice to be heard. even if you end up disagree with neighbors or members, to give them a voice early on it means a lot. it is something we should try to include here. if there is comment

i want to thank supervisor farrell for co-sponsorship. it said city departments are predicted to spend $67.40 million on overtime, which is 39.3% more than budgeted and $23.40 million more than for the fiscal year 2010-11. the five city departments that have used the most overtime, which collectively account for about 86% of the total secured overtime expenditures, are the municipal transportation agency, the fire department, police department, department of public health, and the sheriff's department. the report also revealed that 858 employees are on track to exceed the requirements of and the restrictive code section 18, section 18.13b, which prohibits overtime hours in excess of 25% of regularly-scheduled hours in any fiscal year. through this hearing, we want to hear from the mta, fire department, police, and sheriff's department, so we can better understand why we are where we are. one of the things i would like to know more about is whether or not insufficient staffing or other staffing issues are primary causes of this issue. the

supervisor farrell: we are. thanks, next speaker. >> i am here today as part of the san francisco parra political action committee but i am the president of friends of -- valley. i would invite you to come to the farmers' market to see the number of strollers and ankle biter is running around. it is quite great. earlier you asked what are things that the board of supervisors can do to help talk about the great things that are going on in san francisco unified and with families in general. i was thinking about that. a couple things that are happening, there was talk about strings attached to the rainy day fund. that tends to be can -- conversations around proposition h funding and strings attached to that. the way the public or parents perceive their children being used whether it is a perception correct or not, there's a perception children are being used to forge a political want as opposed to honoring the public to be supporting what the voters have. it is so much easier to get out by muni then it is to get a

it you did not get to speak before supervisor farrell, so if you'd like to speak about your intereston the board. >> thank you for the opportunity of addressing again. i spoke about my enthusiasm for water issues and had ceci in particular. water is not that interesting -- hetch hetchy in particular. i remember my grandmother talking about the 1906 earthquake. people were living in further burned homes without water. hoarding water was a shooting event. -- shooting offense. that convinced your forefathers to build the cleanest water system in the country. san francisco citizens have historical -- historical used 88 million the to 90 million gallons of water per day, the lowest in the state. san francisco is the only city in california with a combined sewer system that treats both sewage and storm water. unfortunately, there are threats to this system and the san francisco repairs to support it. some will affect water quality and quantity in the future. the seismic upgrade is behind original's dental and there is concerned by the oversight committee with the internal reporting and whe
