overview of the services provided to victims of crime. the san francisco police department currently provides a variety of resources and the context in which we provide services is related to our mission to protect the public. the department utilizes many resources and make referrals to outside departments and other agencies on a daily basis. each unit makes referrals on a case by say -- case by case basis, depending on the need or type of crime investigated. an example of the referrals and resources available to the public, talking about the victim's bill of rights when completing crime reports, every officer has available to them the distributed following inappropriate. that is actually the form that talks about the victims' assistance program, domestic abuse situation

>> it is our policy, when we respond, we are required to provide resource information. i do not have independent knowledge to say that i incident -- certain areas we are or are not, but i know that we see it being done and i have witnessed it in the field. whether it is domestic violence or financial crimes, the officers are quick to reach into their books and pockets to pass this information out. we have made it so simple for them that we have put together small versions of information to fit in there citation book. i believe that we are giving out the information. supervisor chiu: i would love to get a copy of this so that i can get an idea of what is being distributed. as distributed to many victims in town, i am aware that this document is provided and there is nothing in. about where they can go in the city in terms of getting information from our agencies. >> today i will have a package in the office regarding information. supervisor chiu: there has been much discussion about the protocols around sex crimes, financial crimes, particular kinds of egregious crimes w

the regulars provide something.would be to look at the entire portfolio of the borrower, in this case, mercy housing of california, and we looked at that. but mercy's portfolio itself is so deeply affordable, and it has so much soft debt on it already that we couldn't get there by going that direction. we also looked at reducing the scope to a much lower level to again try to meet this requirement. we weren't going to be able to do that and still obtain the state and tax credit money. if they come in, they put the building way over the 95% ratio. looking at this smaller scope proved to not be feasible. the building is fairly o

we provide. but some of the other things that probably are less well recognized is homeless people wind up in the emergency room, lots of times, repeated times a year. that's very expensive for society, because we all, as taxpayers, pay for that. they wind up in jail, and to incarcerate someone is very expensive. so the costs of a homeless person just being allowed to continue in homelessness is very high for society, and some studies have estimated it may be 30-to-40-some thousand dollars a year per person. and some people, if they're repeatedly hospitalized, are costing society tremendous costs, well over $100,000 a year. and, conversely, you know, if we were able to assess, as dr. clark has mentioned, find them some permanent housing, and what other aspects are necessary. employment? well, we haven't talked about that, and i think that is important. i think many homeless people have the potential to get back into the workforce. in our studies, most of the people, on average, have been employed

training when they have, provided to victims and for roll-call in the setting. we have release stepped up on training with regards to cultural awareness, diversity training, language access cards. for example, in the victims' rights bill, when it was put into law in 2008, we called for services. one of the things i would like to point out is that we have a comprehensive policy that is progressive requiring officers, when encountering a person that lights began language other than english, getting a certified interpreter to help with this. we have access to about 140 languages through the language line if necessary. we also have officers with language personnel if needed. , including english, spanish, and chinese. a question was posed -- where are the gaps. one of the reasons we are here today is to talk about the services and how we can come together to make sure that we are communicating and working together. one of the gaps of wanted to point out was technology. you might have mentioned where we might be able to track all the resources available to us through

there are providers of smaller loans and providers of larger loans, but that sweet spot is missing. i am going to move on to commercial corridor revitalization. i found that our space programming is a strength. it enables us to reach out to a lot of businesses that we wouldn't otherwise reach. but we have a problem communicating about the neighborhood marketplace initiative. that limits our ability to leverage the success of that program. i also found there is no universal city-wide program for tracking and filling vacancies. i thought that was a key point. so those are my mindings. i have made a number of recommendations based on the findings. i am going to quickly go through those. first, improve the quality and accessibility of assistance. eowd knees to establish universal tools and standards for the providers. we need to encourage the grantees to do more outreach of owners of small businesses, rather than just serving people who want to start new ones. second, ensure a wide variety of loan products to small business owners. so in order to meet this goal, we need to first do rese

they provide resource information as well. the police about his record is something that was brought to san fr

so they have been able to provide educational at the meeting or they've helped insure that they provide us with the information that we need so that we can assure that the educational needs are getting met. we also on our staff have a child welfare worker who acts as the liaison with the unified school district. they worked with the services staff and the two representatives to have a collaboration. through the part northeast are nership through the foster services. the other brochure that you are in front of you describes that. this is a have innovated project. it kicked off in january. what we've done is turn to the school community. >> can you show us which pro sure we're supposed to be looking at? >> it's the with the families. ok. so the -- >> we're doing foster care with their quim. in the adoption agency, it has done the needs for foster care. the the needs for the children to remain in the community and in this school setting as much as possible. since january we've been able to make 15 placements of kids with families in their school. we're very excited about it. it's quite inn

provide fund to help them. i was surprised about involved with michael's group another outstanding program. for us to engage in disaster recovery from the standpoint things will be better when we get there. we provide what's called public safety training. that's if you have a wire down or a gas leak what do you do as a citizen? as a neighbor? as a community. we provide that training from the standpoint of safety. that's the bottom line of what we are trying to do is to create a safe environment. the folks that are available to provide the training across the city here but we provide it to emergency responders, local law enforcement, fire services. we provide it to community groups themselves. if it's a community group a safe group and/or nert group we will provide that training for individuals. the other as an organization for us to take care of business during an emergency. for us to take care of your needs to get power on, we have to have aggressive emergency response planning for our employees. we have 20,00

they have been providing us with support to provide a needs assessment in the tenderloin to better understand the health care needs. the proposed location provides a platform for cpmc to expand existing programs and i see that their long-term engagement with us and are theses in the tenderloin will ensure that cpmc is attentive to community needs. president miguel: jane martha. >> good afternoon, commissioners, joseph smith, coalition for health planning, san francisco. breaking down simply that cpmc has four campuses which are basically hospitals with associated services. what cpmc plans to do is phase out the california campus, concentrate outpatient services at their pacific campus and concentrate inpatient services at the new facility at van ness and geary on cathedral hill. the description of st. luke's, however, in the project plan, focuses on a new medical building and a new hospital building that is significantly smaller than the existing hospital. what we see in the d.i.r. is that there is no vision for st. luke's, no anchor. functionally, it reads as though it is an access point for

that includes providing robust and direct support for our teachers and our students. in order to best access the content in those standards, we know that a large part of our student population we are hoping to support includes a lot of differentiation we need to be effective at providing. therefore, aspect that allow master plan, we have a dedication to completing, which includes english development time on all of our master schedules. then we begin to have deep conversations around instructional practices to differentiate for those students. the second essential question our superintendent often speaks about -- once we have come to terms with defining what our students want to learn, how is learning being measured and what are the results? we are putting into place a work around in measuring performance, which is a range and battery of assessments -- everything from diagnostic testing in the classrooms to school-developed rubrics as well as the benchmark assessments our district is going to be putting into place. all of those tools are going to help to monitor studen

we look to make sure that the identity of the provider is an active provider, not someone who is dead, for example. we look to make sure that he acted beneficiary in our system, making sure that the service being billed is covered by medicare, and so forth. this new technology will also allow us to look at other things. we're setting up lists of beneficiaries whose medical identity has been stolen. beacon check it against those lists. ofre looking at lists suspicious billing patterns, where things do not match against each other. we're looking at list of medical conditions that do not fit with each other. we're moving in a very strategic and cautious way. we are committed to doing this and to keeping the bad guys out that you heard about this morning while making sure that we have the legitimate, honest providers in the system. we want to make sure that we hold back on payments when they should not be made and that we continue to make payments when they should be made. the biggest task ahead of us, a flavor of what we're doing at the centers for medicare and medicaid agencies, to move

although you could say that they'd have to provide it offsite. if you're going to alou it to be residential streets, then we could actually ask for it to be offsite, not be on the property, right? i think that would make a lot more sense. nobody wants them to build a garage for a car share space but if there's a concern that there isn't readily accessible cars in the area, maybe we we would want to deal with it that way by saying that you don't have to provide it or the option was to provide it in the neighborhood, notting in. >> -- not within the building. something more attentive so you can deal with both. >> yes, they would be -- currently now you could allow the car share requirement by providing a car share space within a quarter -- quarter-mile radius. sometimes it may be difficult to procure that sight. commissioner borden: would it make sense for this legislation to say if it's a preference that we conet want to require car share but should the building want to have car share, then do it within a quarter-mile radius not with property? i'm

if you provide documents to the committee please provide one to the clerk for influential into the final. it will appear on the board of supervisors agenda on september 14, 2010 unless other weiss stated. commissioner avalos: please call item number one. >> item number one, resolution authorizing the san francisco department of public health, community behavioral health services to enter into a negotiated amount and drug medical recommitment with the state of department of alcohol and drug program. commissioner avalos: very good. do we have a presentation from d.p.h.? >> good morning, supervisors. i'm dr. alice glickhorn, i am the county alcohol and drug administrator. this is our funding for medical from the state. it comes in the form of a three-year agreement. the negotiated net amount. the combined amount is approximately $60 million. and i'm happy to answer any questions that we have on this. >> great, thank you. mr. rhodes, share with us the report. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee, this agreement with the state is required. it would provide reimbursement to the department

>> we have provided training.ome of them have allowed us to go in to their schools to demonstrate the program. almost all the schools in the city are visited at least once per year. they talk about the online program and what it can do for the students and how they can use it. supervisor avalos: every school has a library as well, hookups for computer technology. it seems like the librarians and the schools could find a good place for those as well? >> yes. supervisor avalos: great. supervisor chu: are there any members of the public that wish to speak on item number one? >> good morning. my name is douglas shepard and i have lived in san francisco for 15 years. i would like to speak in support of this. i think it is something that is noteworthy and i would like to make a suggestion that four students who are kind of close to dropping out of school, i think that this sort of program should be offered in writing to the parents of students and that the school should get a written reply as to whether that student is

in our budget, we provide all projected available sources and we made our best attempt to try to provide the state whatever they needed. what we assumed of $20 million of sources, the state has said at the very soonest this will not be issued until september, 2011. we have taken the existing plan, the project would stay exact -- exactly the same that we have moved the proceeds up a couple of years and projected the grant proceeds that will leave those trailing a couple of years until we next visit the plant, you will see that the numbers are still similar but the timing of the grid vs. the revenue bond in basically provides a substitution of those two sources. over the 10-years, the same number of bonds, the same number of grants. the appropriations substitution is required because on the source cited the budget, even though the use is the same, another is slightly different because of the revenue bond verses the grant. when we do these, we have financing costs. we would be able to keep our existing rates just as they are through 20-14 -- through 2014. we are always reviewing the project

we could actually provide prevention and health care

we also provide a host of other services. we have a psychiatric clinic, we work with children and adolescents, we have a huge housing program. so there's really a range of services that we offer here at the agency. i didn't know what direction i was in. i didn't know what's going to happen to me. i, i was on the verge of giving up life and everything, until community connections decided to take me in. there's people in here that know my name and know me, and i don't even know them, but i always hear them call my name out. so i feel very comfortable realizing that, you know, i have people around here that care about me. there are really three different things that we think about all the time. one is to develop a relationship with our consumers. people have been marginalized, and they've been cast off, oftentimes, and they need somebody who believes in them and who can create with them a sense of hope. the way i show support is by going into the field with consumers and supporting them while in the field. sometimes i will advoc

this is material we have been providing -- that we are providing and keeping as part of the mta traffic company. i am trying to get back up to speed because i left in 2006. i just came back last saturday. i will be trying to get back up to speed on everything in terms of technology. i am going to be able to present more complete data and more complete statistics. supervisor chu: right now, you said two incidents retract now are collisions and citations? -- we track now are collisions and citations? >> i can give that to the committee. supervisor chu: ok. >> unless there is any other questions? chairperson mar: there are a couple the public raised. one of the findings is that enforcement is often lax. that is one of the findings. susan king mentioned she is the defending point of view from the advisory committee, feeling that the one size fits all approach is not something that would help improve safety. i am curious what your response is to the "often lacks" comment -- "often lax" comment. >> there is a medium someplace. there is a perception we are too heavy handed and a perception tha

and we provide said for the better street plan project and access ibleible curb ramps and stops. and one thing that we want to communicate, these are not stand alone elements, they are building blocks placed in the public right-of-way. and we encourage these to be integrated into the pedestrian environment and not as isolated elements. how do you do that? that's through what we call universal design. and we have a board in the back that talks about the seven principles of university design. and equitable use and that it doesn't disadvantage any group and flexible in use and it provides for the widest range, and simple and intuitive and perceptual and it communicates effective information to the user. and tolerance for error and minimizes hazards or inverse accidents. and low physical effort that makes the use comfortable, and safe and within minimal fatigue. and things designed for the proper space and size for approach and use. basically what one gets out of universal design, is not just design for people with disabilities or elderly, but it's designed for everyone, it has cross

they can be child care providers so our clients can go out and work. >> we found more and more women of child bearing age come down with cancer and they have kids and the kids were having a horrible time and parents were having a horrible time. how do parents tell their kids they may not be here? what we do is provide a place and the material and support and then they figure out their own truth, what it means to them. i see the behavior change in front of my eyes. maybe they have never been able to go out of boundaries, their lives have been so rigid to sort of expressing that makes tremendous changes. because we did what we did, it is now sort of a nationwide model. >> i think you would be surprised if you come to these clinics. many of them i think would be your neighbors if you knew that. often times we just don't discuss that. we treat husband and wife and they bring in their kids or we treat the grandparents and then the next generation. there are people who come in who need treatment for their heart disease or for their diabetes or their high blood pressure or their cholesterol

we also provide a host of other services. we have a psychiatric clinic, we work with children and adolescents, we have a huge housing program. so there's really a range of services that we offer here at the agency. i didn't know what direction i was in. i didn't know what's going to happen to me. i, i was on the verge of giving up life and everything, until community connections decided to take me in. there's people in here that know my name and know me, and i don't even know them, but i always hear them call my name out.

that is not provided to the indigent defense providers. federal grants are almost all directed toward prosecution and law enforcement. so the problem to have vast resources that i'm facing right now is that you have grant funding the police department, the sheriff's deft, the district attorney's office. there is a share that -- etc., etc. that share, which for them is a portion of their funding is almost my entire funding so when you say you're going to cut 13% off everybody equally. well, 13% for us is more than 13% of their entire budget than for the other agencies. now the problem is that's the ripple effect we just had here. now they still have their investigators because they have other agencies that provide the investigation. we don't. our investigators are the ones that have to be trimmed off because we can't pay for them. our attorneys, again, they are paid for by the county. we have to cut back our attorneys. meanwhile, the prosecution, yes, they may have to cut back the attorneys. there are a lot of attorneys still being funded b

some provide it free as well. i think that there are some airlines who have spaces that they don't charge their employees to use. >> i know you do not come here prepared to talk about that, but i would love to get a little more spess physicality on what -- specificity on what that real population is of parking spaces used? >> numbers, you'd like numbers. >> i would appreciate that. >> that we provide for free and we receive rent? >> that's correct. thank you. that would be very helpful. i'll share it with my colleagues. >> ok. commissioner avalos: while we are on bart airport contract, let's have mr. rhodes present the analysis report. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee, i'll add a few comments. first of all the airport receives $2.5 million a year from bart. that was an agreement previously approved by the board of supervisors and that's for the debt service, flat, over 50 years. under the existing agreement, bart pays that $2.5 million in advance. under this proposed agreement, bart wants to be treated li

specifically, the purpose of the grants, the purpose of case management is to provide assistance in the form of access or care coordination in circumstances where the older person or adult with disabilities and or caregivers are experiencing diminished capacity to function including personal conditions or other characteristics which require the provision of services by formal and or informal service providers. just to briefly summarize the intent of the linkages program which we're also asking for your consideration is to prevent premature or inappropriate institutionalization of function lale impaired adults 18 and old are by providing intensive case management, care planning and monitoring and follow-up and comprehensive assistance and services. finally, the basis for the community fund living program is intended to reduce unnecessary institutionalization, providing older adults. untense dwriff case management and purchase of services to avoid institutionalization of seniors and adults with disabilities. i'll now hold my report in advance and respond to questions the chair or members
