this overtime, i know there is flexibility in the regular staffing. if they need to switch shifts around, they have a flex ability, already knew they need to change the regular officers assignment they have the flexibility. they showed no need for the overtime and it seems to me the cost the city could better use elsewhere. >> having been pretty much in every staffing committee that the police department has had over 32 years i have to respectfully this agree with ms. campbell. wednesdays is also a day when we scheduled things like this summer it will be midnight asked about. we take full advantage of the fact that we have additional housing officers on those days and the officers well into the evening utilizing some of the overtime to do just that, to try to engage folks that would otherwise be engaged in less productive activity. >> supervisor breed: from a community perspective, i didn't really understand the details of exactly why one point the san francisco housing authority was paying this additional fee in order to have the same support in term

staffing requirement? and has that been looked at by your office? >> supervisor farrell: ms. campbell first. >> i'll respond to the supplemental appropriation. we based our numbers on the reasonably expected increases over the end of the year. >> based on minimum staffing requirements? >> looking at supplemental we were looking at the average spending per pay period per overtime, accounting for the fact that there were holidays coming up between that day and the end of the year. >> supervisor breed: i want to be clear. you don't take into account minimum staffing requirement so that over time does not exceed the minimum staffing requirement? >> yes we did. we looked at the number of ftes the expositions they have to staff the fire stations as of that date and how it compared as of that data prior years, and how it compares to overtime spending as of that date and how it extends out to the end of the year. >> supervisor breed: how do we account for the discrepancy? >> they were spending at that pace through

. >> so right now the police department is down about a hundred officers. 16 in staffing. i'm told by police that they have no problems with 4:00 in the morning but they have 40,000 police officers in the city. it's a resource issue for us at least for right now having a conversation because the daytime people where the most people have been dying for beat officers, officers on foot, officers on bicycles, school resource officers . if the hours were stretched, it would stress our resources that much later into night to cover those extra hours making this a 24 hour time like new york is. right now it's not a conversation that we are in a position to have. >> so i understand there is going to be some policing training. >> we have plans to be full staffing by 2018. >> you have a question? >> it's more of just a comment going along with the 4 a.m. legislature. i know you said you are short on resources, it's also something to consider the standpoint of club employees. i work the bar staff and ride a bicycle. if a show goes really late and the bars let out at 130 and all these

this overtime, i know there is flexibility in the regular staffing. if they need to switch shifts around, they have a flex ability, already knew they need to change the regular officers assignment they have the flexibility. they showed no need for the overtime and it seems to

and outside of staffing levels, we've put a number of measures in place. i'd like to acknowledge mickey cali, we worked with her staff to decrease overtime. [speaker not understood]. we're having to rely too heavily on mandatory overtime. with the trend of hiring, we'll see that reduced significantly. the department has revised our overtime assignment and mandatory overtime policies and fortunately we have been able to institute and it seems like a lot, but it is a hard cap of 1100 hours for fiscal year for members. even those with approved exceptions to the overtime ordinance. that was not easy to arrive at. we worked closely with the department doing resources and with our partners in labor in 1978 to arrive at that. that being said, the department is scheduled to come back to the board to request the remaining reallocation of overtime that was not approved at a previous meeting in april. that i believe is on for next week. this was needed to address the current staffing shortage and the department is requesting to reallocate salary funding to make up fo

so, when the process is just paying off continuing debt and whatnot, the staffing resource he, staffing needs may not be as high as it currently is. so, it's something that has to be continually validated. >> great. thank you. thank you very much. >> and i certainly appreciate the response, the swift response, if you will, you know, to this issue and i think it's just something that we have to continue monitoring. so, thank you. >> so, can we move forward with my presentation that was the only comment in terms of financial reporting. we do have a second comment relating to the new pension accounting standards. this is just an informational comment. it is not a deficiency in any sense. but because we do expect that it will have significant impact to the citifinancial statement, we want to bring it forward to your attention now. the new pension accounting standards [speaker not understood] will end by the city in 2015. what has been the biggest difference in the newest pension accounting standard is that currently the city's financial statement that's not recognized the liability for the

we were realizing the staffing we respect to a 10 hour day. it gravitated towards special operation in admin which was not a good use of our resources so we put it back to the 8 or 9 hour day and it was 16 thousand additional days the police officers spend time on the streets which is equal to those who are inside vs. outside and it's saved us a lot of money. many of those officers were shift to more nights and weekends. we're having the impact we're having because we're holding our own on the overtime numbers. we're not asking for any more next year even though we're down there were 3 million more in overtime in 2009. some of the savings we are use a hundred less you hours on event and the planning for events is down our training is down two hours largely because making better use of technology. the next slide is the recivilian jobs. since the job had to get done modified officers were handling it. of the 21 positions allocate in 201315 will be fit by september and another 3 to complete the 21 we're going to have in place and 18 will be on st

so, we are very difficult verse in our staffing. in terms of the other for cultural competency, we offer our clients in terms of access, language line, we have english and spanish publications. also our reception area which is our first contact point, we have multiple language spoken in that area. in terms of overtime, we have zero overtime we we always have ceo overtime. so, keeping up the good fight. ~ zero we do community policing b we offer staff time off, and we give them time to do that. those are two things, we do pink saturday and also halloween in the castro district. but we do not authorize any overtime. staff basically look at that part of our community corrections or community relations opportunity. in terms of the clients that we service, high-risk, high-need as we talked about, substance abuse, 82% of our clients, we do risk needs assessment on our clients and 82% have a substance abuse issue or need to be addressed. vocation and education, 78%. cognitive behavioral, 73%. and residential and stability or housing needs,

. >> back to what this chief said, i certainly understand the fact that staffing drives a lot of this and i think it would be useful for us given where we are in terms of staffing to have a conversation of what would it take in terms of resources to get to the right amount of staffing prior to 18 if that's where we are now and talking about making changes that could expand hours i'm sure this community could be very interested in working with the police department to get to that point, 2018 is a long time. but i think that to expedited the right result with staffing, there are things we can do right now. we are undermining our own efforts to grow the economy and hopefully we don't have to wait to have those conversations. >> okay. berry, did you want to say something? >> supervisor really hit on it fairly quickly as well. that is i was just going to ask chief sur if there is anything that our industry can do to expedited the staffing and the resources that might be needed to help in light of the economic study that has been done. we can show that entertainment and nightlife is a great

that was usually when we were at high water staffing where it seemed okay to delay classes. i believe that would be unprecedented to delay classes when at a low. i would put that out for consideration. >> supervisor avalos: i appreciate that analysis. i do believe that yes, i have called asking for beat officers, i call my captain, making sure to establish beat officer south of geneva, really critical that it happens. is important that we increase public safety as well in conjunction with the police department and those of things that we have for consideration as well, some of the priorities that we want to put forward in the budget towards that. youth employment, afterschool programs, childcare programs, things that make a huge contribution to overall public safety in san francisco; these are the trade-offs that we have. it does present a longer-term plan even if it is just a month on in this case for getting the deployment that we have overall in the police department. >> i don't dispute that partnerships are critical but again cops do count. we are low; we anticipate anot

we have dedicated police staffing but don't include the overtime pay >> could you talk about theo. >> i'm not aware of the 12 hour overtime shift. >> but i'm saying the 6 foot corridor there's also a dedicated program in the school district and in the corridor not unlike the program of overtime they just add it on others shifts. we're asking where you have dedicated staffing it would be on the regular 10 hour shift and not overtime >> those corridors have 10 hour shifts. >> they have 12 hour coverage but in order to get the overtime which is 15 percent of the expense we use i can basically make 32 officers and the exact officers it's a desirable assignment and it was to give those folks no public housing the same faces everyday for midnight basketball. their basic shift is a x but the union rules keep me from moving them around but overtime allows me to put them all in one place and i get tremendous flexibility for that million dollars >> mr. chairman i want to emphasize all we believe is there's no justification of overtime but they can handle the situations we don't want any overtim

what you see here is there are staffing level is actually going down from 157 to 156. what's not reflected here is with the assistance of the mayor's office as well as the controller, we have reduced our staff by five. and as you recall, we had some problems earlier in the year in terms of overspending and temporary salaries and that has been resolved such that those positions have been eliminated. so, there actually is a loss of five positions that's reflected here. in terms of the work load of our office, our largest division which involves felony cases, we handled in this fiscal year 8,6 12 felony cases. our average annual caseload per attorney is 196. now, in our profession, we look to what's called the nac, american bar association standards. that's the national advisory commission. these standards were set forth in 1973 to determine what caseloads public defenders should be handling. and for felony cases the standard is 150. so, we're about 28% above the standard. we recently completed a case weighting report. the case weighting report is in addition to counting

. >> worst-case scenario it is down 15 percent staffing. -- as was the case of any housing area where they had a housing complement. i believe tenderloin received more officers because they are and fto station that they are now down 7%. the traffic companies have been bumped up back to normal because of the training involved and with the pedestrian safety priorities here in the city as well. >> supervisor mar: and i know you have to deploy to where you will strategically need more officers. my concern is that you have adequate staff so that is why i have a request of that information. also the new academy will help with increasing staffing levels and i want to ensure that the stations are adequately supported even if you have to strategically deploys you need to. >> i want to assure you that the smaller houses, places that enjoy lower crime levels, when they got to 15% down, nobody was allowed to take personnel off the stations. the pain was shared equally. the difference is that we have certain specialized units that we move around as we anticipate or experience concerns with regards

but i think that to expedited the right result with staffing, there are

but i think that to expedited the right result with staffing, there are things we can do right now. we are undermining our own efforts to grow the economy and hopefully we don't have to wait to have those conversations. >> okay. berry, did you want to say something? >> supervisor really hit on it fairly quickly as well. that is i was just going to ask chief sur if there is anything that our industry can do to expedited the staffing and the resources that might be needed to help in light of the economic study that has been done. we can show that entertainment and nightlife is a great part of our economy. how can we show that? >> given the money that is available in the city budget and a lot of cuts are now asking for things back, for me to ask for more would get me just as much ill will from other communities that would be an expense. we are hiring three classes a year for the next year starting last year. there was a more aggressive plan that was 54322 or i don't remember exactly, but it was each academy class is about $4 million addition to the police department budget. so it's a l

it's in another a staffing issue. you can see they're going through the roof so people are running more red lights. so i think the education pie and if you go back to the statistics the failure to veiled it up 10 percent as the cause for the accidents. so it appears to be education has to be a big you piece of this. as the commissioner said the wave and the eye contact is big hence the campaign about texting. it's literally impossible to go through the city during the day and not having people cross the street not on their cell phones. i look at the numbers and see the facilitys are at 8 we're right on track with having the same high number of facilitys. so i know that staff is going to increase the numbers going up but at the same time would the department feel they're making great progress >> no as we get the newer officers out as part avenue their training with promotions officers come up u come in and it all has to happen at the same time. but we're focusing on the primary collisions because of the economy that we

they just are not staffed at this point. we have the ftes rather. dem has also requested one new position related to the public safety radio project. so, the public safety radio project, this is a replacement of the city's public safety 800 megahertz land mobile radio system. through this initial funding this year, we are going to be doing a -- we hope to hire this individual early next year, by october certainly at the latest. also to skiv out what the project should look like, how we interface with other p-25 systems within the city. ~ scope out we think what the project planning phase will probably be about two years, and the full project completion is expected in 2018. again, the current radio system we have now is 13 years old. it needs to be replaced. it's end of life, so, we're very pleased that through coit and through the mayor's office in the city is supporting this effort for our first responders on the street. you asked about proposed legislation. we have one piece of proposed legislation, which i believe is item 9 on your calendar today
