we commend the district for bring this m.o.u. to the board and we strongly urge the board to adopt it. i'm jewish, but this is not an issue but jews and arabs. this is how they'll support the students in sfusd. >> hello, i'm a member of aroc program. we would like to thank you for putting our m.o.u. on your agenda. as aroc, we provide a space for arab youth among community that speak the tongue and don't. we empower students, fearless, united, social justice and diversity driven. for three years, the m.o.u. hasn't been passed. during these years aroc gained allies who supported youth. and await the day the m.o.u. is passed. we look forward to you vote in favor of the m.o.u. and us to put our attention back to doing our work. we're excited to have aroc back in our schools to further celebrate and preserve arab culture in these difficult times. thank you to aroc leaders and all partner organizations for having our back over the years. thank you board of ed for giving us the attention we deserve. >> my name is julie. i'm a parent at

for three years, the m.o.u. hasn't been passed. during these years aroc gained allies who supported youth. and await the day the m.o.u. is passed. we look forward to you vote in favor of the m.o.u. and us to put our attention back to doing our work. we're excited to have aroc back in our schools to further celebrate and preserve arab culture in these difficult times. thank you to aroc leaders and all partner organizations for having our back over the years. thank you board of ed for giving us the attention we deserve. >> my name is julie. i'm a parent at redding and here with other parents and teachers and representing folks from parents from redding who were not able to come out, many fasting for ramadan. i didn't just find out about aroc yesterday, i've known them for years, because as a parent of a child to speaks vietnamese, i'm been excited about the fact that they were -- i've seen how important it is to have strong community partners. through the survey process, there was a couple of times there was not a community partner, o

and we'll have the others speak on the m.o.u., okay? come on up. thank you. and please state your name. >> yes, i did, thank you, for the reminder. i'm raul avila, parent at redding elementary school. i've been at redding for six years now. i have three beautiful children that attended redding. i really don't know arac. i just found out about them when this whole arab program was coming to our school or there was a -- doing some research to see if our school would be a good fit for the arabic program. i was wondering where this came about. i heard this organization called araq. so i went ahead and did some research and i looked into them to see who they were because i had never, ever heard of them before. by doing an internet search, i did find some youtube videos that i did hear members -- actually one particular member saying some hateful things. like i said, i think i sent you an email, but i don't think or feel that there should be an organization that speaks hateful things that will be part of our district. thank you. >> president m

i will provide brief background on this project, the m.o.u. that was approved back in 2014, telling us to move forward and work with the mayor's office of housing to see if we can come up with the physical project. and the few remaining tasks that we need to complete. and the documents that we'll bring back to you in july. and analysis of the proposed time and the dommestics. the site is located in the northeast waterfront historic district. it's at the corner of broadway and front street. not far from pier 9. next to it on your slide is the city pass through. the site itself is approximately 38,000 square feet and currently being run as a parking lot and generating roughly $465,000 a year to the port. it's a great location. it's near chinatown and the financial district and easily accessible by all transportation. here's a view of the site. in times of legislative background, it faces a number of challenges. among the key challenges is the high historic building costs and complex regulatory compliance requirements, to name a few. staff work wi

and i have gone back and reviewed the language in the original m.o.u. and i reviewed the ordinance that mandates lafco oversees and for feedback on cleanpowersf and i feel that language is outdated, frankly. and it's something that we'll need to revisit, to clearer define what lafco's role is in the oversight of cleanpowersf. >> supervisor fewer: that's great. are you referring to the 2008 m.o.u., yes, and it does state that the m.o.u. calls on san francisco lafco to advise the searcsfpuc and the board of supervisors on all aspects of cleanpowersf's development and operation and management. i believe that commissioner pollock has a comment. >> vice chair pollock: thank you so much. this is helpful i think. perhaps in the future that we would like to revisit the language on the m.o.u. though it looks like we probably in doing a special study might exhaust the funds in that m.o.u. in the next one or two fiscal years. but i just want to clarify lafco's unique role in this is because of the way that the city and the county have set up the board of supervisor

item five, ordinance to adopt a decision and award of the arbitration board establishing the m.o.u. between the city and san francisco police officers association effective july 1, 2018 through june 30, 2021. item 16 and 17, the m.o.u.s between the city and municipal capex tiffs association, fire and police, effective both for july 1, 2018 through june 30, 2021. item 18, compensation for employees of the city, subject to provisions of charter section a8.409 in job codes not represented by an employee organization and establishing working schedules and other terms and conditions of employment and methods of payment effective july 1, 2018. for items 19 and 20, an ordinance to adopt and implement number two to the 2015 through 2018m.o.u. between the city and union of american physicians and dentists. unit 17 and 18 to update certain terms and conditions of employment and to extend the terms for both m.o.o. uz through june 30, 2019. for item 21, adopts and implements amendment number six through the 2007-2018 for the city and m.o.u. local 2021 for h-1 fire rescue par ed manyics to update

many of the commitments in the m.o.u. have been fulfilled already, and the path to the remainder of them is clear and transparent with us. the staff approached the planning department as well as others in january with a draft of the vision that you saw today, and we provided many comments, many of which they've addressed clue collaboration and enhancements. we hope to continue with collaboration, the m.o.u., and eir, and ongoing sort of monitoring of methods and data that come in from their transportation analysis. so looking forward to that, and we're happy to answer any questions, as well. >> president hillis: thank you very much. let's first see if we have any public comment on this item. any public comment? mr. david. >> todd david again on behalf of the h.a.p. i really want to congratulate sf state. i do think it is really worthwhile noting that they are under no obligation to come and speak to the planning commission about this, right? they have a totally different track to get things approved, and i think that that

s between the city and following union locals. items 7 and 8, m.o.u. etween the city and firefighters union, both local 798 unit 1 and unit 2 to be effective july 1st 2018 through june 30th, 2021. item 9 arbitration board establishing m.o.u. between city and san francisco police officers association effective july 1st 2018 through june 30th, 2021. items 10 and 11, m.o.u. between the city and municipal executives association, fire and police both effective july 1st 2018 through june 30th, 2021. item 12 ordinance to fix compensation for persons employed by the city whose compensation is subject to 88.409 of the charter and job codes not represented by an employee organization and establishing working schedules and other terms and conditions of employment and methods of payment effective july 1st 2018. items 14-18 american physicians and dentists, unit 17 and unit 18 to update certain terms an conditions of employment and extend term of m.o.u.'s through june 30th, 2018. item 18 m.o.u. local 1021 for h.i. fire rescue paramedics updating language and extend

the reviews, we have an ongoing dialogue with the police department so the three years that is in the m.o.u. is to us is a minimum, okay? we amended -- we modified those injunctions in 2009 and in 2011 and in 2013. but outside of those modifications we had discussions with the police department on an ongoing basis. >> supervisor fewer: so i know that you have done these reviews and you have gotten this and so what i would like to see are the official reviews and the results of those reviews? >> so one of the things that we'll have to talk about is then what format we talk about that, because these are -- it's existing litigation and our reviews are work product. and we are in an open session. >> supervisor fewer: so are you saying that the 2008 m.o.u., did it call for a written review, any documentation of that review? >> let me pull it, just a mome moment. my recollection is that it didn't but i just want to -- i like being precise. no, it does not. what it says, and i'm happy to read it and to provide you a copy, the city attorney shall conduct a review every three years from the date tha

the problem with the m.o.u. as it was first drafted is that it ignored the commission completely and most of us did not see it until after it had been signed. i talked to president tuman and vice president and i went and met with mayor farrell. i talked to the police chief. i talked to the state d.o.j. a ld our concerns that you could not sim simile ignore thee of the commission when you were outlining what the state was going to do i terms of monitoring the work around the u.s. d.o.j. recommendations, everybody was in agree ee have now in front of us, i'm not sure who highlighted the provisions that are highlight the because they capture some but not all of the key provisions in here. it recognize the role of the commission and actually quotes from the san francisco charter under recital item b. the fact that the commission is to formulate, evaluate, approval goals, objectives, plans, ju wanted to make sure that i was included in any m.o.u. that existed between the city and the state of california. so this was t

so with your approval the motion would be to enter into an m.o.u. with pai white to come up with a revised proposal in the amount of $25,300. and then the next project by hiroshi sugimoto is foreur about a buena hilltop. he was born in tokyo. he is primarily known for large scale, very impressive photography but he started to work with architecture and sculpture over the last several years. there was an article last year in the sunday "new york times" magazine, an extensive article about his work in both sculpture and architecture. he recently performed commission to redesign e lobby of the hershwern museum. hiroshi has proposed a large monumental sundial for the top location on the south side of yerba buena island. it would have white marble that extends to a height of 11 feet and from then fabricated from stainless steel going up to the height of 66 feet. the point of the sculpture would only be 1 and 1/8 inch wide, that's why the panel had concerns this would not be considered a hazard in any way to the coastguard and the f.a.a. i would like to re

i don't know if we articulated that in the m.o.u. i don't think -- my understanding is that -- i'm happy to work with you on this if it hasn't been articulated, but it would be in years at the real estate transfer tax did not bring in as much revenue as other years. we anticipate that's when there is a recession or down years again. it is not a very stable revenue source. >> supervisor cohen: so this fund, will continue to grow and grow and grow in a very robust years? i would imagine, when there is an economic downturn -- you know, i don't know if an economic downturn would lead to the downturn of transfer tax. i understand in some ways there is some correlation speech and there's been a level of trust with city college around the reserve fund. they haven't drawn down upon it. >> supervisor cohen: what if we accrue 20 million dollars kwee for the future board to be able to be in a position to stop funding? that is my question. i'm not trying to, but i wanted to know, once it is committed, it is locked in. >> supervisor kim: yeah. >>

so is the further studies we are funding here through the m.o.u.'s, if it doesn't result in a satisfactory proposal, what would the committee do at that point? do you open it back up to the finalists? >> very good question. i think i would have to go back to the steering committee and seek direction from them. but i think we might actually just open up the competition again. but i really couldn't, i would have to consult with the steering committee. i don't believe in the ranking of the non proposals there were contenders who were, well, there were some other contenders so we could look at the other contenders, i don't know if commissioner tsen who served on the committee would tment >> if i could. thank you, jill. it was a very thoughtful and consuming, time-consuming process. a lot of people certainly had their chance to comment on the art work. but i do think these first three pieces are so important for setting the tone for the island. it would be our first public pieces it's worth it to take the time to make sure what is being done is going to

can you tell us about the discussions around the m.o.u. with the state a.g.'s office? >> i'm sorry, state a.g.? >> supervisor cohen: yes. >> we are not having any discussions with the state a.g. for an m.o.u. we have been trying to negotiate an m.o.u. with the police department association so that we can be the primary investigating unit, and that still has not occurred. even though as we're speaking today, not only was i.i.b. fully funded in january 17, we do not lead the investigations, we're conducting parallel investigations which is sometimes a little difficult. >> supervisor cohen: okay. and what is the division of labor between the city and the state for these types of investigations? >> well, there really is none. the state generally does not investigate these cases. we -- and it was a decision that i made back in 2014 to begin to share our entire investigations with both attorney generals before -- well, actually, we still do. we send them to the civil rights division of the u.s. attorney's office, and we send it to the california attorney general, and there w

the table and i think it's a more efficient way to do business. their arguments against it which i will like it too now but it is part of our one federal decision m.o.u. the reality is if you give any jurisdiction of the environmental review for a major project, you have to be a cooperating agency, which is key. key. that something else we have mirrored inside the department of interior. used to be that all the agencies would operate independently within entry. park service and efficient service and blm, there were not necessary cooperating and they work necessary communicating, so early on to the park service against the blm record of decision and it just didn't make any sense. under the same roof interior, you are having different decisions across the life for a single project. more importantly, back to the cost of compliance theme i think i'm running with today is that when you're in project proponent, you have to deal with several different agencies across the board, inciting trigger. you know what that means. that means several different staff, different field biologist, different biological opinions. go down from everything is different if they

the terms of our -- the m.o.u. between the bay area tolling authority -- tolling authorities, because the bay area toy -- tolling authority does have the right to toll people, all traffic on the bridge including traffic that goes from treasure island into the city, and wouldn't otherwise go through a tollbooth. but what we are really looking at is if someone is going through the toll at the east side of the island, in coming to treasure island, you know, how do we make sure that we are not double tolling? it is all about those tolling arrangements for traffic coming and going from the island and how that interplay is with the tolls collected. as well as the tolling level will be influenced, the initial tolling level will be influenced by ferry operations and planni planning. i will talk a little bit more about that in just a moment. for the shuttle, we are currently studying a pilot program for an autonomous vehicle shuttle program on the islands. a couple years ago, i guess it was little over a year ago, they got a

and $500 million, the full amount in the m.o.u., is invested in the israeli missile defense cooperative program. the committee has taken its oversight responsibilities seriously, to encourage greater efficiency, improve transparency, strengthen communication and ensure the department of defense adheres to congressional direction. unlike other spending measures considered this year, this bill is the product of an inclusive process that invests in bipartisan priorities and is free of poison pill riders. it was written within the funding levels agreed upon in the most recent budget agreement , skipping gimmicks previously employed to skirt the cap funding levels. i urge your support and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. the gentleman from indiana reserves. the gentlelady from texas is recognized. ms. granger: mr. chairman, i yield two minutes to the gentleman from arkansas, a member of the defense subcommittee. the chair: the gentleman from arkansas is recognized for two minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'm proud today t

the m.o.u. describes a process by which the corps can use existing authorities to collaborate with a non-federal entity in order to allow for greater flexibility of placement. this has the support of the district office, our local community, and the state of minnesota. it is also environmental friendly as it will allow the dredged material to be used in a manner that benefits society rather than taking up place on a pristine farmland. it also spreads the burden of a public benefit to everyone who benefits. my amendment encourages the army corps' headquarters to fully consider this alternative plan and alternatives like this in the future. in its history, the corps has rarely approved innovative plans such as this. federal, local, and private partnerships is something we should encourage instead of putting roadblocks in the way. so i encourage my colleagues to support this amendment, and i ask the army corps fully consider incentives in this particular amendment and the affected projects across th

one of the things that has been a struggle for getting an m.o.u. signed with the police department, and it's a matter of formality and we have m.o.u.s with the other law enforcement agencies that operate in the city, but some have been drarry has not been signed. supervisor thank you very much. >> supervisor cohen: you said earlier you cleared the backlog but i was under the impression that there was still a lot of officer-involved cases that are unresolved without decision. >> so if you recall when the unit was originally funded, there were approximately -- and i am going to say approximately -- 27 cases that were backlogged. and there are only two cases left from that batch. however, we have continued to have officer-involved shootings coming in. most of those are resolved within 180 dayshat so w you are seeing is a turn around for the few shooting is usually right around 180 days. there are exceptions involved. we also do inustody deaths and is doing custody death and other accusations of substantial abuse of force wells conviction review. >> sup

i first want to say thank you for bringing forth the proposition g m.o.u. we did some good work last week, and let us all hope for the best that the bill that's in the state senate passes on thursday. this will change the landscape, and we won't have to worry as much as we're worrying right now. in terms of the budget, just in general terms as we go through the year and expenditures are happening, it's important to keep our eye on the prize, the priorities that are set in the budget are laudatory around multitiered systems of support, around professional department, safe and secure schools, and performance gaps. we also should note that the majority of the funds that are expended should be expended at the school sites, and that's where we want to see that happen. we want to make sure that we are student centered, and that is one way to make sure of that. and then in compensation of our members, which has been increasing due to some hard and excellent negotiations, it helps students if approximate we have stable staff as we've said often, and paying people a

you may recall that the commission approved an m.o.u. ith weta as it relates to the mission bay ferry landing where they have agreed to assist with us, assist us in raising funds for the project, and have demonstrated a desire to take over the management and the operations of the facility, once it's completed and to help with permitting and design and coordination all along. however, we will need to, once it get built, go back to the commission, the weta board and a lease in place for those operations, and need to work very closely with both weta and m.p.c. to make certain that we are able to get the $25 million out of the regional measure 3 funds. on the subject of weta, managing the small vesseleasibity study. however, they are indicated they want the port to participate and i also believe t they have asked some of our small vessel operators to participate. they have established a working group to help keep that movie on track and to get diversity of representation. and then our privately operated ferries are just that, however, as it r

the way. >> it is m.o.u. zoning. including retail permitted use and that is what is in front of us. hink to speak about the policy of really looking for housing and decide what is suitable for housing as i think a policy discussion which i think we should have every thursday. but that aside, i have a question for the architect. i think it's a lovely building. i think it fits well into the circumstance. but you have talked to me about drawing a 013. >> where is that? >> i speaking through the chair. gas, commissioner, let me see where we are. >> 813? >> zero -- a 013. >> that is 8013. that is the one. the question i have is this is the funniest question. i look at the drawings and they say why is there not a third tree over to the south? is there a reason that across from the gas metre room you couldn't have a third each weekly it looks as if there's a tree missing. >> this is the dumbest question i've ever asked in meeting. but there is a tree missing. >> let me be vague in my answer but sympathetic to your basic direction. if there is an opportunity to put another tree on, it would

work within 180 days whenever possible, and with the staffing, we have been able to do that, so that is a dramatic improvement. we still do not have an m.o.u. signed with the police department that gives us an investigative lead on these cases. it has been a very lengthy process with the police department. chief scott has indicated his support, but we are in meet and confer with the union, and it has taken longer than our office hoped it would take to get that completed. i think that will bring an additional level of quality to the investigation, so those are the improvements i've seen to date. >> supervisor cohen: okay. so just for clarification, the standard of review for i.i.b., is it the same as a standard of review for all other criminal cases? >> yes. >> supervisor cohen: okay. and how many cases were you able to charge with the special focus of the same standard? >> so we have several force cases that we have filed. if you're asking about officer involved shootings, you know the answer to that question. >> supervisor cohen: please say it for the record to those who does not know it. >> we have not nor has any prior san francisco dis

the school will pay to send students to programs like literacy. my question would be how much are we currently paying with those contracts or m.o.u.'s or whatever to support students outside of the district now versus what it would cost to provide the sservices internally. [inaudible] >> we know that price tag, but thank you. >> may i ask something, as well? there are many parents who don't want to deal with the process of having to literally fight for those kind of reading programs? i myself was one of them and had fought to get reading in my daughter's i.e.p. on a regular basis. threw my hands up and ended up paying for it out-of-pocket for a few years. the increase -- my daughter has autism, and sometimes she can't read how she feels. but the fact that she started reading and stringing words together and seeing the things around here increased herself esteem. i can imagine what it's like for families if they can afford to pay for it independently if they don't want to wait for the district and the months of including it on an i.ee.p. there are many students going without that necessary instruction for reading, and i just want to

m.o.u. your team has been at the helm in many ways every step of the way. >> thank you, supervisor. >> supervisor cohen: now with that said, no increases for you. just kidding. [laughter] >> that's fine. just take back the additional work you give us. >> supervisor cohen: we can't quite do that. how do we know the success of the conservativeship program? >> thank you, supervisor. as i eluded to, i think what is extremely important is we have the resources that we need to do that job well. you have, this board has given a directive that work be transferred to our office because of your belief it would receive all the attention it needs and deserves. so i have made the request that we get two attorneys and a legal assistant to do that work. now i understand, my understanding is, i should say, the d.a.'s office, the current situation is the number of f.t.e.'s they have 0.9 lawyers assigned to it and 0.5 administrative staff. it is a little bit of an increase, but presumably, the reason is, we are getting 500 new cases and i don't think that you all would have transferred the work to our office if yo

m.o.u. with health and human services, we're working on sharing information. my opinion is that parent or sponsor, mostly parents, in the country illegally, and they a criminal organization to smuggle their children to the united states, which is not safe at all, that whole smuggling trip from central america into the united states by a criminal organization. jessica: these are not charity. tom: we have many cases, kids have a criminal organization trafficked, these kids, those cases where they have been brought in by nonrelatives. a bigger been information sharing with h.h.s., i.c.e. and my personal opinion is if you are illegal alien parent that had your child smuggled through a criminal organization tohe united states, you should be in proceedings with your child. you can't keep hiding in the shadows. if you hav valid a bigger asylu persecution, i would think the parent would want to stand shoulder to shoulder with their child and plead their case as a family. for your claim of i think that's the right thing to do. instead of having a child stand in front of an immigration judge by themselves, the parents should be t

m.o.u. provision we believe it will enhance that and insentavise our officers to get bilingual certified. i'm going to speak about our strategic framework. it was a part of the department of justice recommendations when they assess the san francisco police department, there are many recommendations tied to the need of the sfpd needing to develop a strategic plan and framework so our strategic framework is on the screen in front of you. there are five strategic initiative clusters, we want to be better at collaboration and improper our responsiveness and strengthen our department, define our future and be better at measuring and communicating. on the top axis, you will see how that parlays with our operational priorities. priority number one is homeless issues and harm reduction. priority number two violent crimes, priority number throw property crime and priority numberfour-foot- patrol and it explains how those fit into the strategic clusters and framework and how it intersect with our priorities. hopefully you understand the thinking prioritizing these initiatives. our operational initiatives are based on the many concerns we get from the community. partic
