center, and it's necessary to have a level of position with the skill set to work with department heads at building inspection, the fire department, city planning, the department of public health behavioral -- not behavioral health, environmental health services to make sure we have a true stream lined one stop permit center spot for everyone to go to. we would still like to reject the 18 -- the deletion of the 1822 administrative analyst position. i know this position has been sitting vacant for some while, but it is to work on a mandate for -- that the 14(b)cal business enterprise ordinance is asking us to come up with a prompt payment program for our small l.b.e.'s who actually do work, but invoices are submitted two months later in flying to help them float cash flow in order to pay their workers, and it is a program that has been befuddling to us, quite frankly. we're trying to come up with programs -- low interest programs work with our now market tax credit board and in working with our city attorney to find ways where we're not violating the laws but yet supporting our small construction worker who do work on behalf of the city

really speaksll e -th not only thathe men and women of the san francisco police department but the partnerships and collaboration with other city departments and the community, i think is all contributing factors or all contributing factors to the crime stat. as property crime, the commissioniti commission knows, we have the struggle with crime, particularly car break-ins. more good news, with hards to that we are down 26% on our car break-ins, with you is almost 3,000 fewer car break-ins than ar.ti last ye more great ne. i think that can be attributed to my things. our strategies changed last summer, and we put a lot of things in place to contrib t and we beliehose strategy ad working. our overall property crime are down 12.4%, which is 3, -- about 3300 crimes less than this time last year. and car deaths, we are wn almost 30%, so that's 600 year.sw thanis tim so our crime assistant sticks are very positive at this point of the year. we'll continue to do the things we're doing and make adjustments when we need to, but really good newo report t crim front. there were two homicides this week, one on the 200 block -- or this past

the best men and women in our police department here inside of san francisco. proud of all of you do who are here today in front of us. i am not afraid as the mayor of the city and county of san francisco to say how proud i am of the men and women of our police department. every day they are putting their lives on the line for us as san francisco residents, they deserve our respect and our gratitude. when we are so fortunate to have such dedicated men and women on our police department, we simply don't have enough of them today. san francisco is an ever changing city with ever changing neighborhoods. we cannot be bound by antequated staffing levels that do not reflect today's reality in our streets and in our neighborhoods. that is why today i am very proud to announce that my budget plan this year will include the addition of 250 new officers being deployed on the streets of san francisco. -- san francisco from our business department. in the fiscal year alone we will graduate 80 officers in the current academy classes, add 50 new academy recruits. we will also increase opportunity for promotions and shift highly trained civilians into positions that are cu

the car hit a female worker who we are told was a member of the water department, the city water department. she was transported to san francisco general hospital. the car then hit that dump truck i referred to during the live shot. and that's where the car stopped. we are told by the hospital that the female worker died at the hospital and that she worked for the city's water department. now, as interesting twist to the story, we have observed a carload of police chaplains and public health workers who came here to minister to the neighbors. apparently this is part of a new city program to help during emergencies, a neighborhood that might be in need of counseling. and so the police chaplains and the public health workers are here. we have seen them talking to neighbors here, dlug the woman who apparently owned the car who had called for the tow. police of course are investigating this scene. there are police investigators talking to the tow truck driver who we are told is cooperating with investigators. so that is the very latest here from noey valley. vic lee, abc 7. >> thank you. >>> a

the 1890's is when department became dominant for shopping in american cities. as department stores moving to cities, they undermine the status of older, locally owned, often immigrant owned neighborhood businesses. small shops, owned by recent immigrants and working-class neighborhoods are slowly displaced by the rise of the department store in cities. department stores also have an ,nd -- impact on overall areas as big companies initially based in chicago begin printing it enormous catalogs where you can see a whole range of commodities. typically household furnishings. these catalogs get sent to rural areas around the country and people can purchase them through mail order. it is not just the purchase of these new commodities, it is the ability to see them. to page through a catalog and see the possibilities for what you might be able to have if you could afford it or if you lived in the city, you might be but to purchase these goods. it is transforming people's aspirations and the way they imagine themselves as part of american culture. the way they imagine t

department, they're doubled our foot patrols, creating a dedicated unit within the central police department, and increasing the burglary and serial crime units. year to date, car break-ins are down 20% in the city of san francisco, but we will not rest on our laurels here in approximate our city. this budget will reflect additional investments in our public safety departments. in particular, our police department to make sure we do not slip back. the center piece of this public safety goal is the addition of over 250 sworn police personnel over the next four years. i have often said that we have some of the best police officers in the country. we just need more of them. let me be even more specific. i believe we have incredible men and women of our police department. they put the lives on the line for us every single day, and they deserve our respect, and i am proud of them. but san francisco is a growing, changing city, and we need a police force that grows and changes with it. in the next fiscal year, 130 new officers will be in the police academy, setting the foundation for 250 more officers on our streets. i want to make it clear that these new officers will not be just focused on our prope

example for the nation about how cities and city departments should be working together and treating rape. it is very important to me because over the last couple days whether i have heard from the mayor's office or the department on the status of women or police department or colleagues very confused about what sharp is. it is an office designed to get accountability and to change city systems internally in franco we are not anyl no longer doing wrong by women, but we are setting the standard for the country about how we do right by women in al and all sexual assat survivors because it's not not only women but men too. i hope i have made that clear. towards that end i am going to make a few amendments to the legislation today that i want to bring forward. we have talked to all the city departments and we agreen agreea few amendments are warranted a. the first is on page 7, section f. it's introducing language to clarify our intent that the department of human resources continue to address personnel-related managers include sexual harassment cla

, existing city departments, community leaders and supervisors from the abobo. what this legislation does is formally recognize cultural districts in san francisco and creates a formal process for operating them. it provides a framework for city departments to invest resources to preserve them through a creation of cultural districts and any accompany stablization funds. this legislation shapes cultural districts as community stablization tools within neighborhoods. we think of cultural districts as areas where certain communities have established themselves historically in san francisco, areas where these communities have brought a rich diversity of cultural artistic and aesthetic traditions and life to the neighborhoods they inhabit. for example, we have the latino cultural district on 24 street in district 9, the soma filipinas in district 6, communities that have been marginalized and been oppressed, they make our neighborhoods in san francisco an amazing travel destination. it is these neighborhoods that prevent san francisco from becoming a cookie cutter

as i say for wage workers or the immigrant, urban laboring classes in the city, most of the goods in the department stores were not available. they cannot possibly purchase all of these consumer goods, but they could see them. they are visible as you come into the city to look for other leisure activity. the department store is a gendered space. it is a space for women who can travel downtown on streetcar and it creates a whole bunch of other leisure activities. there are tearooms, restaurants, and some department stores even have childcare facilities so you could travel downtown with your kids, leave them in the facility and go off to have your lunch with other lady friends while you are shopping and talking. so it is a new type of space in the center of the city, in the business district of the city designed for particularly middle-class women. in addition, in the 1890's, as the first decade of the 20th century, many goods displayed in department stores were goods that expressed different kinds of cultures other cultures. , they don't do it literally but there is an emphasis on middle eastern car

the 1890's. department stores. the earliest department stores appear in new york and 1830's. really come of the 1870's are the beginning of department stores in cities. the 1890's is when department shopping.inate elite shopping in american cities. as department stores move into cities, they undermine the ,tatus of older, locally owned often come in the -- immigrant owned neighborhoods and businesses. small shops owned by recent immigrants in working-class neighborhoods are slowly displaced by the rise of the department store. of an impactores on cities but also on rural areas. companies based in chicago, initially, sears begins printing enormous catalogs where you can see a whole range of stuff. typically, household furnishings. the catalogs get sent to rural areas around the country. people can purchase stuff through mail order. it is the ability to see them. page through a catalog and see the possibilities for what you might be able to have if you can afford it. or if you can purchase all these goods. --is transforming people people's aspirations. the way they imagine themselves as part of american culture. the relationship of their homes to the

were coordinating the department is coordinating public safety and security messages along with other city agencies including department of emergency management, department of public works as well as civic organizations. we released the publicafy announcement this week. that will run through pride week. there will be security screening checkpoints as there have been in the past few years. we found that to be very valuable to enhance public safety of this event. that wil this coming year. additional information will be forthcom k you, chief. >> any questions for chief scott? okay. please call line item 2b. >> dpa director's report on activities and announcement and presentation of the statistical report. presentation of statistical reports, summary of cases received, mediation of complaints, adjudication of sustained complaints for march, april and may 2018 and companion reports. >> i will have a brief report and not repeat the information in the reports. you can read them yourselves. please feel free to contact me if you have questions. we won't go over them line by line unless you would l

i can't tell you how many in this building or city hall have had the training. but certainly departments within the city hall have participated. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. supervisor yee has a question. >> supervisor yee: thank you, supervisor cohen. you mentioned one of the programsyou operate to connect people with disabilities to departments, or city jobs. >> yes. >> supervisor yee: i want to thank you for that program. i see it's moving along and hopefully will be further successful in the future. i had a question about staff around some of these opportunities. we had been focusing on employing seniors because many people are finding it difficult, either their social security or, what do you call that, their pension to survive. or to be able to live in san francisco, so they have to go back to work. they are finding out at 65 or 70 they are still healthy and really want to get back into work. one of the biggest barriers seems like, that was discussed, in terms of that not happening as much as it could is this whole issue whether someone has to work full-time versus 2-3 days. bec

the information on the city's housing production. this is complex information. lots of different departments touch it, and the definition of affordable and the other programs, and then which units meet the criteria of having been completed, so we've developed a better, more transparent view of housing production in the city and that's linked to your conversations on it. the next couple slides, i think just again comment on the -- just go back a couple, mark. i mean, just for your kind of being aware of our scale. there's a slide which shows the sizes of our budget so you can see, again, general fund department -- no, the next one. general fund as a whole is the largest one, department of public works, mta, and then everybody gets smaller after that. just for a sense of scale. our staff size is -- i think we're now 6 -- what did i say? 68 people? and we have a couple of hires that i know will happen during the year, so again just to give you a sense of scale, a few more auditors than performance scale staff. the budget breaks down to about $18 million in the operating budget. and then during

and i'm very, very concerned that the legislation does not require hpc, just three city departments, and it doesn't have to include the hpc and it must. this commission, your staff, they're the experts and are really good. and i cannot imagine why they were not included, why they were not given more advanced notice before the final draft came out. i'm very concerned that the legislation establishes these five-member bodies as the sole input, primary input perhaps is better, for advising the board, the mayor and the mayor's office of housing and community development. jhs is a community-based process. i think it needs to be changed. i also find it puzzling why you would go to the mayor's office of housing and community development if your emphasis is to prevent cultural and historic preservation. i have copies of a full testimony for you. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public? >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners. my name is robert resky. i participated heavily in the development of the jhs document and came here to -- not just to repeat, but echo so

the city of san francisco. our men and women in the fire department are also responding to increased medical calls here in the city of san francisco, so today i'm announcing we're investing $1.5 million for the fire department to add an additional quick response vehicle. this team and the budget to support them will build upon the success of the ms-6 program that responds to high frequency emergency service users. the team will provide 24/7 medical response to call services and ambulances that are needed in our streets where we need an ambulance or a fire engine. this team will also alleviate the appreciate on the larger fire vehicles to come to the scene. combined with the additional investments we've made over the past few weeks and that we have announced, i want to make sure that san francisco residents know that we are investing in the future of the city, that we are investing to make sure the streets of san francisco are as safe as can be, and those that are on our streets can get the help that they need and off the streets as quickly as possible. since day one as being mayor, i've always states that public s

the responsibility of other departments? >> yes. so, the construction safety management audit, there -- that was a city-wide review performed by the city service audit and multiple departments there, and so there is a lead department, also probably working with another oversighting agency in the city that would happen to take upon those recommendations and work with city-wide departments to implement the resolution. >> and within that, are there also recommendations that pertained specifically to the p.u.c.? >> not specifically for that one, no. p.c. was highle our ink the proactive practices and our health and safety. >> ok. and for the other two, the power enterprise and wastewater? >> power cells for two irrigation districts and long-term energy agreements are on a cycle, and renewed on potentially annual basis and those conversations have not happened yet due to an extension of the agreement. >> as i recall, they said we should renegotiate our contracts, easier said than done. >> part if i may say, is that with that particular audit, it was -- it was -- there was a gray area, the recommendations were, they were really recommendatio

and the policy and provide greater alignment in the city. and bringing the wide range of department of hazard mitigation and climate adaptation efforts to a city wide umbrella or framework. we are work in close partnership and the department of the planning of the environment. and we consider departments as key partners in the planned update and provided staff with klee knowledge of hazards and with the city services to participate in bimonthly meetings and a community engagement strategy with key stakeholders. we are planning to submit this plan in july of 2018. we are happy to provide future updates at other meetings. >> that is the large effort that we will be understood taking and updating the 10-year plan and 50% have traditionally gone toward earthquakes. that will include another important function in the next year. and finally, a few other things that were listed in the handout here. the soft story program is moving forward very well right now tier three which was the largest of the tiers if you recall the earthquake split into four different categories. and that has about 3

the puc. it's not the city department, but it really affects the end users. that was one of the motivating factors to try to come together and work with the solutions. i'mhopeful. i think this hearing and fo- hearing to make sure that the talks are fruitful would be very appreciative. thank you. >> and now we're going to hear from nick castner from san francisco unified school district. >> good morning. my name is nick castner. we have benefitted from clean power through the puc for a long time now. we also benefit from the fact that the puc provides support for the sustainability office, for the director, for energy audits, efficiency work, panels, and for water bottle filling stations. and the puc also supports our garden education and environmental science efforts. so we've had a long road trip with the puc. that's why we've been troubled by some of the problems that have occurred recently in terms of electrical service upgrades. they cost us delay, space, and cost, as has already been mentioned. as you can image, we allow for school construction to be com

we also have funding from the port in the airport and work orders with city departments. port of s.f. funding was moved to a work order in the upcoming fiscal year. next slide is a chart that will show you the department's expenditure by type. 88% of our budget is set aside for salary and mandatory fringe costs. main low supporting minimum staffing requirements in fire suppression as well as our e.m.s. emergency medical services personnel. next chart. outlines our general fund operating budget and where the funding is allocated. on the previous slide, the majority of our budget goes toward fond line operational staffing, meeting our minimum staffing requirements and t city's ambulance system. we did, i believe provided all of you a copy of our strategic plan which we're very proud of and we completed last year. the department identified strategic goals surrounding five areas. recruitment, staffing, training, operations, infrastructure, community programs and partnerships health and wellness. the department's budget supports the continuation of a number of initiatives that

rates come from the state and some others continue to work as well. >> is this something that the city can help with? >> absolutely and look into our legislative areas in the department. we are doing a lot of work around that and planning and trying to look for support for those facilities. it is a level of care that's going away in the city and we don't want it to go away. >> i hope you could quickly look at your budget and see how you could help with that situation. >> thank you, sir. >> supervisor stefani. >> just really quick, do you have a comprehensive list of behavioral services from acute inpatient beds to our clinics? >> absolutely. >> i'd like to see that. >> we have a provider manual that provides that for the community as a whole. we will get that to you. >> dph changed the way you provide treatment services to an organized delivery system. i want to be clear on what that is and ask if you have a comprehensive list of the community-based providers for that. >> yes. so we've done over -- i think that we should all be proud that over the fact of the last 20 years they are proud that we have provided purely general funds for our substance abuse system. remem

the san francisco police department, as the mayor said, we have a healthy street operation center, better known as hsoc. we use that initiative to collaborate efforts between our various city departments to address the very issues that we have in this bart station. with that we will be increasing our footly presence almost five fold by nearly adding approximately 500 patrol hours a week to this effort. we believe that will make a tremendous impact and enable us to do what we need to do to keep this platform safe, clean and for our residents and our people that use this transportation hub to enjoy it. i'd like to thank keith carlos rojas from the bart pd who has really been a partner in this and we believe jointly that we will really make a difference in terms of realizing mayor farrell's vision to make this the safest transportation hub in this region by working together our officers will be able to respond to immediate concerns and more appropriately proactively work to identify on going behavior that we get calls about all the time that contribute to threats to public safety. additionally, we will work in partnership with all of the city agencies and organizations under

the city and its growing needs. many of you heard supervisor peskin when he introdu the legislation talk about the process of the task force 2045, a six-month process, included all the city departments, included stakeholders from across the city as we tried to identify $100 million annually towards the local contribution, toward the overall $22 billion need over the next 27 yearis i a general tax, nis something that is intended necessarily to be dedicated towards transportation, given the fact that there are so many competing needs in the city. so, that's ultimately revenue that this body would be tasked with figuring out how to prioritize in our city's general fund. what else can i tell you about the tax? today, unfortunately, because supervisor peskin is not here to ask himself, i would ask that your offices should have given you proposed amendments that we have worked with the city attorney's office on to add a category, or go ahead. >> do you have the language? >> yes. sorry, i ogize youhould have gotten a copy for staff. >> thank you. thank you. >> so in addition to the two definitions for tho psenger services, vehicle services that would currently be included in this tax, whic

the planning department and the city defines it as the streets, parks, open spaces, tissues that ties the neighborhood together and makes it one, cohesive place. what does a public realm plan do? it has two objectives. one, to reflect local priorities and a sense of the local community's objectives and needs in the neighborhood as well as a practical implementation tool that the city departments can use when deciding where to make investments, how and when in the public commons, as well as to help guide the investment of private funding when that's available towards public realm plan implementation. with that, i will turn it over to sun hahn, who will talk about the development pipeline. >> thank you. why do we need public realm plan for the central waterfront dogpatch neighborhood? this is recognized because the neighborhood is going through a rapid change. in 2008, as part of the eastern neighborhood planning, the plan was adopted. since then, the neighborhood has been growing rapidly and as you see in the chart, about a quadruple increase of housing units is expected. and in the ne

the traffic department. we have about 100 degrees in the east bay. we are starting off miles. and as we look out towards the brilliantly lit tower the gift to the city who was a fire department chaser. a big fan of the fire department and the city decided to build the tower using her funds. temperatures are in the middle 50s. and we have just a bit of fog. low pressure in the gulf of alaska is going to spend high clouds into british columbia but we don't live there. we are worried about the high pressure over southern california. the double-barreled high -- things are going to be getting warm. this shows not much in the way of local outing is. this will be shut off afternoon leading a severely clear coastline and pitchers skyrocketing. after a mainly clear start it will be sunny and warmer today. a peek of the heat coming tomorrow where numbers will approach 104 degrees and land. cooler around the coast heat advisories are no surprise for tomorrow bay area, except for the shoreline where relief to be had.there is inland will be 90 degrees to 105 four tomorrow. and that the bay will be in the middle 80s so the usual things when things get hot don't o

allocate so that we can support the continuity of care and coordination for families in our city that would be in partnership with the school district and the department of public-health and other city departments. >> one last question from you. as you know, as part of the reauthorization, there was a decision in the voters supported it for many our children and families council in which the purpose of that is to look at all issues that impact children and family in the city and how we can coordinate better. how is that going or -- is it under your department? i'm a little confused sometimes if it is under your department, can you answer whether or not we're moving anywhere with that? it's been several years now. >> yes, thank you for that question. part of the reauthorization of our department, we created a council called the our children our families council and for the past two and a half years, that council has lived here in city council. it's moving over to our department. so that we can provide that back office support for that council. the council will still be chaired by the mayor and the superintendent. the council will still have senior lead

the city administrators office. someone has the clicker? i don't. all right. just a quick reminder of all the different divisions here. on the left-hand side, there are six departments that are technically under the city administrator. what up which you will hear separately. but the other departments consist of th medical examiner, the entertainment commission and animal care and control. we have many programs including 311, things of that civic engagement and immigrant affairs, the bachelor programs, the community grants, the county clerk, the mayor's office on disability and grants for the arts. the office of cannabis regulation, transgender initiatives and treasure island. and then w have the back office, which we call interpersonal services. our contract monitoring division, digital services, -- fleet management, real estate, we often stop resilient, risk management and mail services. i would like to point out that there are two not departments that were transferring out at the city administrative family. the allsup -- office of short-term rentals because they have traditionally been serving two masters or a mistress, and in the justice program, which will be mo

have more intentional collaborations through that report in getting recommendations from the different city departments as to how to best leverage our city resources and policies so that it can -- so that we can actually help small businesses. the other piece is we want to make a lot of connections, especially with the legacy business program and try to be creative in what our new legislations and protections that we can create? for example, we're already kind of experimenting with that on mission street around having special provisions for, like, areas where we have legacy businesses, right? if they are -- like, for example, we have current income controls that if you displace a small business that is a legacy business, you won't be able to get another business in that is not a legacy business for about three years, right, and we're trying to figure out if that can disincentivize property owners, for example, from displacing small business owners that have been there for a long time. they want to be experimental and creative, and in that way, we want to continue working with you, the small business of
