staffing shortages, emerging technology and mandates, strains on the unit resources due to staffing. staffing plan... i didn't change that number and it's supposed to be 39, i apologize. and two-year plans, the ideal staffing would be 84. and it used to be 100 which is ideal but as we -- as we hire and we have that hiring plan, i believe that we can get those numbers back up. >> supervisor fewer: how often are you putting classes through to train on the motorcycles? >> we have not had a class in a while. we just don't have the staffing for that. >> supervisor fewer: when is the last time that you had a class? how many people were in that class a few years ago? >> pardon me, could the speaker address us through the microphones up front for everyone's benefit. >> sorry, so lieutenant martin and captain eswani are in charge of the traffic company. >> good morning, lieutenant luke martin, traffic company. so to address that question. the classes are generally two sergeants to 12 officers. because of the nature of the training that goes on for that class we can't really have more than tha

the issues are very complex, you need to be looking at the staffing, that you got the correct staffingou need to have a prison fit for purpose. it needs to be maintained with suitable accommodation. the type of prisons they have there, the short—term convicted listeners, the remand prisons, the trial prisons, you need to have the help there that is able to have the help there that is able to deal with these issues. you need to deal with these issues. you need to have technology so things like drugs, so it is more difficult for drugs, so it is more difficult for drugs to come into dozens of. while you mention drugs, spice is said to bea you mention drugs, spice is said to be a particular problem. this drug which has been called a game changer in all of britain's prisons because it is changing the mood of prisoners. tell us how big a factor you think that is? yes, psychoactive su bsta nces you think that is? yes, psychoactive substances act as they are known, have a massive issue. they drive debt, pilots, they kill people. we do have this in our prisons and that is why we need to have te

we need more staffing, we need help. we do have r.n.'s, and they are also in the same position as we are. they're saying the minimum is two r.n.'s on these shifts. but we have a population, maybe of -- for the whole county jails, a population of maybe 1300 inmates, and we don't have the proper r.n.'s in there as well as l.v.n.'s, so we need help. we are asking to add additional representation so we have staffing. we are asking for additional positions where there's four l.v.n. positions, six r.n. positions that we can fill. we are asking for nor requisitions to fill the staffing that we need. no, county jail two do not have as much staff as county jail five, but our accruity is please higher, so we're asking that you consider our proposal that you're also seeing there to help us. thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, everyone. my name is elaine samuels. i'm an l.v.n. at c.j.-2, and i've been an l.v.n. for 40 years. we deal with clients with multiple medical problems, psych problems. we deal with clients with psycho social problems, s

or staffed by teachers on emergency credential. and so we're exceptionally grateful for the curriculum and instruction department this year and their phonological processing program that supported ten schools in reading interventions? and dr. stevens has been supportive of us, very patient with our questions/pestering and was kind enough to meet with us and explain how the program will move forward in the 2018-19 year? we're excited that the program will be rolled out beyond the ten pilot schools but one of the things that we wanted to point out is rolling this out, this is a -- this is a pilot program that will provide reading interventions to all students, whether or not they've been identified for special education but make sure that all of our readers are -- are getting intervention services to come to grade level, which there's no more critical thing that we can do for our students to prepare them for success in the 21st century than to teach them to read. and if you look at studies of prison literacy rates, for example, there

police is faced with a serious staffing shortage. bay area council wants mutual aid from the communities the train system serves. >> local cities served by b.a.r.t., that benefit from b.a.r.t. service could provide local police resources to help supplement b.a.r.t.'s ports. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. says in a written statement, the collective bargaining agreements make clear only bat police may provide security at b.a.r.t. that doesn't mean another agency can't respond to an ongoing incident if we need their assistance. b.a.r.t.'s former police chief gary gee says mutual aid has been used during emergencies. he says b.a.r.t. could be in one now. >> if this were an emergency staffing situation, i believe b.a.r.t. can call this as an exception. >> reporter: staffing is also a problem with many of the police departments of communities that b.a.r.t. serves. richmond has a station. the police chief says the question is who has officers to spare. >> that's the issue. i know that all of my counterparts in the region have the same struggle with

ratios and staffing specifically trained to care for those patients. so given that our older adult population is growing, we know that our population 65 and older will grow from 14% of our population to 20% by 2030, and the alzheimer's foundation has estimated that san francisco's population with alzheimers will grow by 69% by 2030. we know that residential facilities for the elderly are a critical level of care and long-term option of care for our residents? so how many do we have in san francisco? approximately we have about 66 facilities that provide 3,070 beds. unfortunately, there's not a good data source or publicly available information to learn more about these facilities, but we were able to determine that there are at least 13 facilities in san francisco that advertise memory care and they have designated around 322 beds for that type of service? i'll just note that this is likely an underestimate since we were only able to collect information on what we could find. so a little bit about the residents who are currently at swindell. as of june

the customer service agencies now are down to minimum staffing levels.hen that happens and you have one agency at the gate and minimal staffing levels, sometimes we're boarding the plane prior to the pilots even making it to the plane, right? so we don't have that communication vehicle through. we cannot talk with each other about what's going on. it's difficult for an agency to say, hey, we've got a tip that anybody somebody is intoxicated, we need to watch them. i would hope that that person is kept completely off the plane in the first place, best way to avoid a problem in-flight is to keep them off the plane, but we don't have the ability to communicate on issues with each other, and that create huge problems with carry-on bags, which are a huge reason that people are fighting with each other on board the flight, trying to find their area of space and try to get that carry-on bag. and maybe a family isn't seated together and we try to work on issues like that. so, we have huge problems with minimum staffing today, that exacerbates the issues on board

we want to make sure that there's weekly staffing calls with h.r. for the school that's have been identified, and there will be around making sure that if there are any issues, that h.r.'s providing support. if changes need to be made, that h.r. is there as an assistance. and then, it's also support around doing effective evaluations, giving staff the feedback that they need. and then, making sure that these schools when they're hiring staff, that they are making sure that the incoming staff are demolessons or teaching videos for all new teaching candidates. so we're making sure that the teachers that we're hiring, especially at our pitch schools, are of the highest quality. central office will provide coaching and support for these sites, and so once again, this is just a sample of some of the strategies that we want to put in place at our pitch schools. so with that, i will stop and take questions on either the progress made in the areas or in the pitch strategy. i just shared the strategy matrix with you, but in your folders is also the rubrick f

fortunately the middle school is staffed but the principal says it is a big challenge. >> i have 15 new teachers at hoover. we are fortunate to have found teachers but a lot of them have moved to idaho. teachers are going to the areas where it is cheaper to live. >> reporter: eduardo is the spanish and social studies teacher. it is tough to get by but the payoff is far too big when you consider how the teachers influence the kids in a very positive way. >> it is difficult.

here at hoover middle school it is fully staffed now, but the principal told me it is a big

week so most kids have their schedules and we had for the ki as soon as we are started, we are fully staffed so that is excellent. >> so some flats are coming soon. i am up to about 5000 steps already. i was here at 6 am. >> tell our viewers, this is a performing arts school. is a little bit different. >> we have over 28 performing arts classes including marriott cheese. -- we have drama, dance, it is an amazing place.

that came from looking at how many -- what our staffing model look like. we're always trying to replace new hires with those that have been retired. we feel that that was a decision. away wanted to wait until the end of fiscal year to make that decision. we will have those three classes. there's a slight alteration on the start date. during that period of time in the fall we anticipate having what we call bump-up academy. these are advancement opportunities for current members. that will take place in the early fall and september roughly. basically, we're looking at approximately 20 that have the paramedics licenses. we have hired firefighters with paramedic licenses. we're looking at placing approximately ten h2 firefighters and advancing them to h3 level fully cross-train. that training will take place in the early fall. then later towards end of the year and late fall, we look at who's where in retirement. we will be offering an entry level emt class. which is about six weeks in length in the late fall. we appreciate the work that will be taking place.

is there a sense now of how much increase staffing will be needed and what the cost might be? >> yeah. i feel like that's a little bit too early because what my hope is that one, with the first wave of utilization management, we can look at what we currently have and what we currently offer, but the second wave, which was the next fiscal year, when we're looking at all our i.c.m. levels and looking at all our levels, our full service partnerships or sort of wraparound services, once we look at that, okay, then we can identify what's the number of people we need to serve, what's the staffing required, what would be the best caseload, and what would be the best requirement, again, services to be provided in the field. that's really what intensive case management is, the majority should be in the field. so i think we can better identify the staffing structure and the caseload after this initial phase. so i felt like it was premature to say we need additional staff because i'm trying to actually look at what we currently have and is this the right level of care for the people that

i would like to update the public on where we are with staffing. we are currently 96% staffed, and we are working rapidly to fill the vacancies. we've filled over 800 certified positions this summer. our human resources department in partnership with school leaders and with lead is hard at work to ensure that our remaining vacancies are staffed with high quality candidates. this summer, our district facilities division has been working hard to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and ready for instruction by monday. i want to share some of the highlights we have. custodial services has completed deep cleaning at all sites. all of our custodians have received their assignments for this school year. school major bond funded construction projects were in project this year at six sites. construction will continue into september but all sites will be open and ready for the start of the new school year. new traditions elementary, alvarado, alternative, and -- new alternative, and jefferson all received new led lighting this summer. the new building l

>> and as you know we pay per diem per day and that extra dollars the staffing has. >> can you talk more about why this is a piece of the puzzle that deserves the extra money? there's a lot of other things out there that need help as well. >> i think that we don't spend enough time talking about stopping something from happening in the first place. when you think about the amount of money it takes whether it's wages for employees, or an increase in the dollars that it takes to feed people, whether it's additional services, physical therapy, social services and things that go into actually taking care of some of the individuals who are in board and care, the costs are going up. then what happens when there's a huge gap, that means most likely that sometimes they can't necessarily take care of all of the clients that they have. and the reason why this is important is because if they have a budget shortfall then that means that they go from 90 beds to maybe even 80 beds so they could at least afford to cover the costs of those particular individuals. this is important because where are we g
