. >> it's good to know within the staff and commission what's the threshold not necessarily the number of events but how many people do those events represent so at what point does sfpd dermatitis capacity has been reached so i mean obviously sfpd staffing levels vary from year to year but what is frustrating maybe being told yes one year and next your costs are going to double because the staffing is not there you don't have that clear delineation for the staffing of the city services so providing guidance to say this is where we tap out this is the number of events and the number of people at those critical times we can afford to cover and beyond that that could be cost recovery kicks in those additional cost permits kick in that will be an easier way to handle this at least it's more transparent. >> commissioner frost. >> that makes sense but when our talking about year by year this doesn't effect that because we're talking about anyone that is filing within 40 days of event and i know from first hand experience the police department requires our captains to have their plans made a

today feel there you go more hope in the project team and adding the temporary staff seems like the natural solution but the metrics didn't go up. >> part of project team is they've been on board for 2 1/2 months part of it is the size and number of projects keeping it the same that the large projects take an awful lot of time we have to look at the small project and the team is a model for other parts of department specialized teams that specialize on only projects and staff was doing one thing for moreal standpoint was not great but we reinventing that we need to look at the performance awe paralyze the metrics so the metrics are being looked at correctly he appreciate those comments the numbers are not good we looked at them at face value. >> i hear a lot from developers small medium and large the complaint around the boogy think we do spend time talking about the best policies but the bread and butter of the department is getting those through. >> just to add sarah jones we keep referring to the volume of applications we're getty thought it might help to character one exampl

it's not just enough to get the staff on board we need the right staff with the right experience and if we train we need time for that so we're in active discussions about and have to factor in. we have to have them trained properly before we open the question. >> can i just do a short question? >> yes. >> one of the lessons that we heard at laguna honda that they have excellent retention rate and 5% turnover at laguna honda and on average 20 year life span of average employee there so while looking at the new hire end which is coming in are we looking at retention strategies to retain and keeping a healthy work place at san francisco general so it's a desirable place to work? is that part of -- >> it is. we have a group looking at retention rates and also of course strategies and there's some pretty significant differences between this type of work and the work environment the two organizations but all of those things and succession planning and just the activities available to employees we will look at that and see what the differences are and see what we can build in. we have thes

i'm not going to repeat what the supervisor said earlier but i want to thank the sfpuc staff this is a different model and approach than what san francisco had been looking at doing in the old version and they definitely took that model to heart. there are different key points now that didn't exist before and other key points in my opinion are not as relevant as they once were. and so we know what our base energy costs are going to be and determining staff costs for the administrative part of the program and that's the key part to get to and based on what supervisor avalos said i agree with the timeline. it shouldn't be a political decision but what's the best time of the year for san francisco and when is the best time to launch and if february is what staff is saying i'm fine with that and the drafting of the rfo and that that can be done while the process is going through the board of supervisors and there's no reason if we worked with the board and mayor and everybody is basically on board but it's just going through the process why can't we draft the rfo's and the day everything

the staff is just an extension of the senators. they have the rights and privileges the senators have and that was established by mike when he read on the floor of the senate depending on the papers of one of his staffers. >> right here. >> thank you. my name is david. november 26th 2014 just recently i read an article in the new york daily news, entitled hating from healers. it was about a clinic set-up in melrose bronx for transgender people who are terrorized to get medical help and these doctors have setup this clinic just for them so that is a good development. and the article did not say what they were terrorized of but i think if you were to find that clinic and ask those doctors what their patients are telling them you might get a lead on torture in new york city because i have experienced it. i take two medications and the side effects of them are that i am about 1 % transgender. >> we should be clear this has nothing to do with anything going on domestically in the united states this is only overseas. >> over here? >> yes

or the board has taken the social investment procures very seriously or if so perhaps staff didn't communicate to index s f they have include the approximate i didn't action i'll say this is the only fear in the last year that the board specifically called out proxy action so the fact it is a discrepancy ricci so make sure make sure? included in the next item. >> speakers sielgd and we brought you monthly report under the proxy assault weapon that included the engagement it was a separate project we brought to you and report each month at the end the proximate i didn't we provided you with the result of our holdings and how we voted button proximate i didn't see for the incentive we have those separated out and but we have also considered it not part of the annual report but as a special report i believe the last report had been in june or july we'll provide the level of details for o cooker 2 hundred companies. >> great, thank you call item 67. >> item 6 action item review and look at the proxy voting procedures did 2015. >> this is the second of two reports you've received
