it will be the cit coordinator in partnership with a mental health stakeholders. we researched their academic institutions and hospitals and asked for professionals from those hospitals and academic institutions to donate their time. that is part of the reason why this is a community program. people are donating their time to provide this training. we already have existing training. rather than starting from scratch, we would see this as additional components to add to it. supervisor cohen: so we are to have the experts from memphis to come? >> the cit coordinator would likely go to memphis. i think we sent three members to go to memphis before we adopt the program. now that we have adopted it, memphis has invited us to come back, to bring our cit coordinator, mental health stakeholders, to get more intensive training. that group would then come together and revamp and revise their training and find folks who are professionals who are willing to give their time to training. and it would be 20% to 25% of the permit would be trained intensively in this cit training.

in the resolutions, we refer to stakeholders and stakeholder engagement. we do not specifically call out community-based organizations. that has caused some concern with community-based partners. in response to that, i just want to take the opportunity to say as we think about stakeholders' we include community-based organizations as stakeholders. we did not specifically call out community-based organizations because we also understand there are individuals, residents, and ratepayers attached to organizations, whether they are community organizations or nonprofits. we are talking about the broad family of stakeholders who have skin in the game and are going to be impacted. we want to find all the different ways we can reach out to those constituents. folks who are watching in the audience today -- that includes community-based organizations. whether they are churches or local partners on the ground, we are going to incorporate their feedback in this resolution and identify ways of beginning to work with them immediately. with that, i will stop. you have se

this has given me at the opportunity to meet with many of the mental health stakeholders in this room who are dedicated to providing services for those who have mental health needs. i've also learned about the model for increasing collaboration between mental health stakeholders and the police department including mantis and los angeles. what i'm hoping is that the impact on mental illness among your family and friends that we prioritize and care about this issue. i attended a community meeting after a recent officer-involved shooting and i can say that there are no winners when that happens. there are a lot of emotions when these things happen. the community has a lot of questions. us moving forward on this and coming up with better and effective solutions for dealing with these issues that impact san francisco more than any other city in california is very important work and i am glad we are here to discuss these issues. >> before we introduce the resolution, i want to add that a major partner has been the occ. one of the research attorneys went to memphis and watched a model and ca

it has evolved in response to feedback from committee members and stakeholders. the concern here was that by looking at an entire plan, we may overlook specific benefits. that is the set -- the best example i can give you is in eastern neighborhoods, where we had many diverse goals spread over a huge area. some portions work effectively downzoned to protect light industry. if you looked only at those areas, you would see a net fiscal - in the sense that development potential was reduced and next tax base was arguably reduced -- you would see a net fiscal negative. we do not want to penalize the entire area because there was a goal in the entire area. what this says is instead, we will look at a new definition, which is basically a half mile radius around a proposal ifd and to the net fiscal analysis within that zone. to be specific, there was some of selling that allowed substantial new development. the ifd study area were to encompassed that generally and some adjoining parcels and blocks, and it would not necessarily penalize east soma for a separate decision t

we have had ongoing contact with a group of stakeholders. they represent the eastern neighborhoods, -- residents associated, and the southeast quadrant. the pilot contain 17 parcels and up to 10 potential projects sites. nine of the 10 sites have received entitlements from the planning department. together, these are 2500 units of housing and 25 million square feet estimated. the estimated completion dates all of these projects at 2022. these are the actual parcels that are proposed. this is a parcel by parcel entity, this does not constitute a contiguous area. this is just the parcels that we believe will become development sites. this is focused on public infrastructure and these are projects that are called out for the plan which was adopted by the board of supervisors. we focused solely on the infrastructures and projects that or on the outcome of that project. specifically, those are three new parks. there is a living street redesign, better streets redesigned and -- this was approved by the planning department and reviewed for accuracy

i wanted to focus if i could my presentation on the policies that were the focus of the stakeholder group over the last several weeks, if i may. we continued to refine the draft policies, and i wanted to provide this in context. when we originally discussed launching a pilot project, it was always in the context of having draft policies to guide the future use in the city, and our intention is we hope to be able to use this tool in other appropriate areas, which may include some of the existing neighborhood plans like market and octavia, or the eastern neighborhood or the west side of the city. these criteria that i'm going to present our the culmination of a conversation that began almost six months ago with key agencies, and including specific input from the capital planning committee. i was at the capital planning committee today, and that committee approved and recommended this package to the board today. i would also like to mention that the small business commission last week passed a similar recommendation. the five main threshold criteria, and these would be the criteria that woul

since there is so much support from stakeholders, that i'm going to be supportive of this legislation. is there a motion on this item? would you make a motion? >> -- supervisor cohen: i make a motion to put it to a vote. supervisor mar: so a roll call vote on this item. it is a motion to support this item with a positive recommendation. so, roll call. >> on the motion, supervisor cohen? supervisor cohen: yes. supervisor mar: aye. >> the motion passes. supervisor mar: thank you. please call item two, and we are rejoined by supervisor wiener. supervisor wiener: if i could just -- i was reduced, but i was watching on tv. i just do want to indicate that i do intend to, separate from this legislation, introduced legislation relating to the zoning and that the property, and we will be having discussions with the planning department about trying to find a way within the law to make that rezoning work without tipping the project to the point of not being financially viable. thank you. >> would you like to call item two and three together? supervisor mar: yes, please. >> item two, resolution d

i have been working with stakeholders to take a close ally as some of our policies related to cantorial and other service workers. ms. includes help the security, the worker security act. i look forward to working with you and others to make sure that our lowest-paid workers have the projections and the plane feel they deserve. >> today, i am introducing legislation that would legalize a temporary below market rental of payments for those said it is chris can -- that have been displaced by disasters. this is an amendment to the administrative code. i've been working closely with the tenants union and other groups. late last week, we had a series of -- resulting in this place and of a number of tenants. nor looking to find affordable or has is for these people. i would like to think the department association for stepping up and helping him. we could have been much worse the situation and as we know from the earthquake is. and we need to provide property owners with a gang units and the ability to enter into a temporary, below market rental agreements so we can quickly find replacement h

. >> thank you for your leadership and for all stakeholders in this deliberation. i think as i mentioned earlier and to reiterate, i think you will find common opinions that their knees to be a change. i don't think that is where the debate will ensue. what i do feel is that there are a number of details that are unclear or that there is an absence of information. first of all, i tried -- we have received data from the department and the budget analyst and of the network of advocates. we are looking for better revenue while at the same time we are looking for making capital improvements. on the question of revenue, was there a -- sent out that was looking for -- >> there has been four -- >> the last one. >> the last one was denied. >> there was not. there is the absence of the annual rent requirement, what was the benefit of eliminating that? we are in the fourth year of a massive deficit in the city and i am trying to understand the financial advantage in that theory. that is what i'm trying to understand. >> the benefit is that we have put this out on four suppli

. >> dan murray -- murphy, stakeholder in the eastern neighborhoods. i was appointed to be on the eastern neighborhood infrastructure finance work group, which was actually the group that recommended this half -- this ifd tool for transitioning areas in san francisco, so i have been very involved in the background. recently, i was voted by the members to represent the neighborhood cac on this committee, which is piloting this incredibly important financing tool in the rincon hill area. i think the policies that staff has developed in consultation with people like me representing the public are right on point. i think it is a great program. i would be remiss if i did not say in the context of being on the eastern neighborhood cac, i look forward in the not too distant future of working with this type of tool in the eastern neighborhood. i recognize the -- that rincon hill is a pilot area, but i hope we do not wait five years to be able to do this. this is a growth area for san francisco. private sector development for close to 30 years now. i can tell y

among stakeholders to be part of that. i think it will take me 30 days to come back with a specific weapon. it could take between six and 12 months to come back with a plan for that weapon. all i am asking for is commission to go back and research the feasibility of looking for a less lethal weapon, including the implementation for the taser. [applause] i have brought commander dan mahoney. he is going to guide the department presentation, what the issues are we are dealing with, and our goals for the remainder of the evening. we are going to have a real-live scenario played out in front of everyone here. i want to utter what the president said. ftc the real-live scenario, this is not about mental illness. i am working very hard with commissioner chan on the cit program, the memphis program. the will be a component of the mental health issues we have in the city. this is separate from the use of less lethal, including the taser. we are a century city. we are not supposed to purchase products from arizona. we will have a th

i just look at what the stakeholders say. maybe i will be getting different feedback on the now.

everybody was talking about stakeholders and how we wanted a team player. i think the culture makes the player. now you hire somebody that is going to be a team player. we need independents. i am not sure i would go with the reelection everywhere. in san francisco, you have got an intelligent electorate, but i think independence is very important. also, you have to be independent of the judges. we found they were intimately involved in selecting the people who would appear before them. we found 90% of public defenders reported judicial pressure to expedite cases. that means when you are under one staff -- understaffed and overworked, the judge says, you have enough time. we need to move things along. this train that has to be speeding -- i think that is a real problem. judges are implicit when public defender offices are not given the resources to do an adequate investigation, so i think those are big problems we see. >> you raise an interesting point about whether a public defender should be elected or appointed. let me ask you this. you are appointed comm

i also want to say thank you to all of the stakeholders, particularly recology and the department of the environment, representing the interests of this contract. historically speaking, i have been a big fan of recology. the incarnations in certain areas, i have found them to be very collaborative on many sort of cutting-edge, environmental proposals that have been born out of city hall and our partnerships together with them. they have done a good job. i think there is something to be proud about the fact that it is employee-owned, and they are the largest of the industry to be of such, and i think those are important. but what is before us here today, in how this has been delivered in terms of the proposal here today, it warns greater scrutiny, and i think that is what we will attempt to get into. in respect, as to is this the best deal for san francisco, consumers and ratepayers, and is this the most forward thinking strategy as it would unite with our environmental principles, goals, and objectives, and while i very much appreciate having the presentation that has been laid out p

the small permits have not increased that much, or at least that is what i'm hearing from the stakeholders out there. is there any truth to that? could you confirm, the night? >> i can answer that question. we have actually seen in increase in the smaller homeowner permits. not so much the contractor permits, but the homeowner permits are coming in more. people doing more kitchen and bath remodels on their own. not so much with the contractors. we are issuing about 95% of our permits over the counter, and they are busy from 8:00 in the morning until 5:00 at night with people waiting, so we are busy, and they are issuing permits. i can give you at the next meeting the actual figures. contractor vs -- versus homeowner versus developer. commissioner murphy: i would like some facts on that at our next meeting. when we get down the page a little further, the disaster recovery unit. >> right. this is being dictated by the various events, like these 10 or 12 committees that are involved with the disaster recovery, and they have asked us to form a unit. the building inspector -- was it two buildin

i just look at what the stakeholders say. maybe i will be getting different feedback on the now. >> the president is entirely right in what is happening. problem has been when we add new positions, we are only allowed to hire at certain times. we have two more clerks able to be hired in march of this year, which will bring the total of people we have brought back in the last 10 years

i just look at what the stakeholders say. maybe i will be getting different feedback on the now. >> the president is entirely right in what is happening. problem has been when we add new positions, we are only allowed to hire at certain times. we have two more clerks able to be hired in march of this year, which will bring the total of people we have brought back in the last 10 years up to 25. we have seven clerks that are right now going to be promoted into actual court positions, and that will allow us to bring seven more people into the department before the end of this year, without the additional people for the budget for next year. it is just a process of how we can hire them and when we can bring people in, so we are working on it. we do know is a need, and we need to address it, and we are trying to be the best we can with the limitations we are under right now. >> one of the complicating factors of having positions at this point in time was the way that the mou's were negotiated, and that is that people have furlough
