supervisor yee? supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: the positions are needed right now. the 250 that you're suggesting is over a four-year period, so can you explain the difference between you need it right now and -- >> -- 18-19 and 50 positions for 19-20, and we're also talking about the 80 we've been budgeted for to get us up to the 1971, and then, the civilianization positions. so that -- those that i just mentioned, i think, equals the 205, i believe, is the number. and the other 45 is in subsequent years, so when i right now, i'm talking about this budget cycle, that's the subject at hand. and the 50 for this academy class, and the 50 for 18-19, that's what i mean by right now. >> supervisor yee: okay. i just want to be real clear, and again, i don't want to go through -- >> yes, sir. >> supervisor yee: -- what we went through on monday, but when we're talking about the first class, additional class that we're talking about, it would be starting in december -- or halfway through the fiscal year -- the year one fiscal year. >> yes. >> supervisor yee: and if there we

supervisor yee, can you restate your motion? >> supervisor yee: sure. my motion was to accept the b.l.a.'s recommendations with the exception of putting the 3 million on reserve. >> supervisor cohen: with the exception? >> supervisor yee: right. >> supervisor cohen: with the exception of putting the 3 million on reserve, so you do not want it on reserve. >> supervisor yee: yes. >> supervisor cohen: seconded by supervisor fewer. >> supervisor cohen: can we have a roll call vote. [roll call] >> clerk: there are two ayes, three knows, with supervisor stephanie, sheehy and cohen in the dissent. >> supervisor cohen: very well. that means that the item does not pass, that we accept the recommendations, and that this item -- i will make a motion that we keep this item on reserve. all right. can we take that without objection? we have a second? supervisor sheehy has indicated a second, and so the motion passes unanimously. thank you. all right. [please stand by for captioner switch] >> supervisor cohen: we're going to take public comment on items four and five.

supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: so right now, the allocations are what's in the budget -- mayor's budget for -- the allocation for 2018-19 is 700, and 19-20 is 700? >> yes. >> supervisor yee: and we've been going at four a year. so here's my suggestion -- well, here's one alternative. >> sure. >> supervisor yee: that -- >> supervisor, when you say we've been going at four a year, we're endeavoring as we move forward to come up with a regularly -- regular replacement plan which we just started on a couple of years ago. like i said, it's been so erratic, in 2014, we funded 14 new ambulances. it would be either four of the big box ambulances or six sprinters, and i've heard clearly that would be the desired model. >> supervisor yee: and this argues -- that point, actually is a good argument maybe for what i'm suggesting, because you do four every year, you commit to it, and it's been a regular cycle. then, you'll surpass 23, and you'll start replacing the old ones on a regular basis. so my suggestion

>> supervisor yee: yes. in san francisco -- in san francisco, there are 1200 young people separated from their families each year. this is each year, and put into foster home systems. because of the scarcity, actually, many of these kids are forced to live outside of the city with an adult that's going to follow them. in the past two years, over 50,000 -- over the past two years, they were able to put another 60 more foster youth through this program. so what we're lacking is about -- that there's about 360 foster youth that can really use this program that doesn't have that right now. and that -- meaning that if there's 360, about 900 or 800 of them, probably, it's not as crucial for them because they're younger in general, but those kids, when they enter their teen years, they're going from one thing to another thing. need some stability. so those are the numbers. and even the amount i'm asking is not going to reach it. >> supervisor cohen: what's the amount that you're asking for? >> supervisor yee: 50,00

supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: thank you, president breed. i want to thank supervisor peskin for tackling some of these issues i was concerned about also. and to be truthful, there's some good things about this and there's others where i have concerns. including the no notification for the 100% affordable housing. it's been my experience in observing what has been done over land use issues in this chamber is that when there's more input from community, more input from as many entities as possible it takes a little while that the projects end up being better than they started off. what we don't want to do, i want to caution just because it's affordable doesn't mean we want ugly inefficient buildings. want to make sure we understand the ramifications of just saying no notification and letting it go. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, madam president. i too also in agreement with a continuance on this item for the process of drafting some amendments to this. i do want to say some of the conversation

[inaudible] yee: okay. >> good morning. my name is linda zhang chl i an associate with the law firm of perkins couie. i want to thank the many organizations and individuals who are here in support of this issue. for 61 years. the chinese exclusion act severely restricted immigration and entrance of chinese people in the united states. in the heart of san francisco one of the most diverse cities in the u.s., we still have a park named after a congressman who pushed to make that exclusion permanent. [inaudible] >> when the act was set to expire in 19, kahn introduced the kahn bill to make the act permanent. the chinese exclusion act when the chinese and americans became allies in world war ii. san francisco's a city of inclusion. our parks should celebrate inclusion now and carry that message for generations to come. thank you. >> supervisor yee: thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is lindsey kwak. i'd like to give litit more background on julius kahn. he did not stop at the chinese. after the exclusion act was m

>> supervisor yee: i -- >> ssor vifai: supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: i'll just go put it out there for discussion, and if we agree or don't agree, we can keep on talking. >> supervisor safai: sure. >> supervisor yee: that the best way to do this? i don't think we've had this many candidates for only two positions before, so as i mentioned, the -- i believe each one of you have qualities that would lend itself well in this commission, and i mentioned what i'm looking for. and unfortunately, when i said those are the things i'm looking for, most of you have those, so it becomes what float -- who floated, you know, sort of towards the top. and i -- the two that i would like to put out there for discussion are john hamasaki and cindy elias. and the reason john, i liked the fact that not only is this the second time you're trying to do this, but for you to be persistent and showing up at meet and trying to stick with the issue that was -- that tells me a lot about not only what you already have in terms of your experience and quality but

supervisor yee. >> supervisor yee: could you help me understand this a little bit? increase of seven f.t.e. for the clean power and increase of 117 million in terms of revenues for cleanpowersf. not understanding the math. >> very good question. >> i think one of the premise of cingin people to participate in clean, cleanpowersf is that, you w,e want to use clean power, bt at the same time, we knew that people to pciwod ge h rate, especially super clean power, and then so is there any attempt to lower that rate? you continue to almost punish the people that want to have clean power. >> so, the commission adopted last month rates for cleanpowersf that will put it on july 1, 2% lower than comparable pg&e rates, and the dollars that you point out are related to the increase is really related to the cost of purchasing and procuring power, not staffing. >> supervisor fewer: thank you for the presentation and because the general manager meets with me every six months i'm pretty up to date on everything. congratulations onhe timine, on the cleanpowersf, i think it's very e

>> supervisor yee: thank you. suzy, we can't say enough about you, if every teacher were like you, every child would go to some ivy league. you are a terrific teacher, terrific mentor to a lot of other people. i'm glad you aren't leaving the school district though. that's nice you are still with us. i think you have so much to offer, not only the teachers coming up but even the established teachers that could learn so much from you. keep up the good work. you won teacher of the year but i think you should have won teacher of the century. >> my goodness. thank you. >> president breed: supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer: thank you, i just want to say what a gift you have been to our public school children who have been able to go through your classroom. i also want to thank you for extending your talents to dr. william cobb school and i think you will be sorley missed but actually greatly needed also in other communities. it was wonderful seeing you on our cuba trip and a special surprise to see you during dinner

>> supervisor yee: second. >> supervisor cohen: all right. we will do a roll call vote on this. >> clerk: on the motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: there's three ayes and two noes with supervisors stefani and sheehy in the dissent. >> supervisor cohen: all right. we're just be wrapped up here. -- about wrapped up here. we need to take motion on the academy classes. the motion that is on the table is approving the first academy class and putting the second one on a reserve that needs to be -- that is contingent on a civilian analysis that will be before us in the first six months of the fiscal year. >> supervisor yee: it was first five. >> supervisor cohen: first five months of the fiscal year. is there no second on that? okay. yes, supervisor sheehy? >> supervisor sheehy: i had a question. so accept full staffing in year one and put funding for staffing in year two on hold? >> supervisor cohen: that's correct. mr. rosenfeld? >> we're reserving the value of the january class in year two, as i understand, so we'll calculate the cost of that and pl

supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: just in follow up, miss rube in, in th event that your budget will be increased 1.2, what kind of adments can you make? >> we will not be open seven days a week. plain and simple. we do not have the people. right now we have eight people managing 1200 cases. right now we're about one person to 45 cases. standard in the industry is one person to 15. that's what the 1.7 would get us, and the extended hours. >> supervisor yee: i really appreciate your argument, and i don't understand why it's not in the budget. >> that's why you've been seeing me a lot laty. -- lately. i feel it's my obligation as the nonprofit provider to let the city know what the risk is, and we are telling you we can't absorb the risk. >> supervisor cohen: question. how long have we been operating for seven days a week? >> we are operating seven days a week in our o.r. component. >> supervisor cohen: so for what reason are you pushing us to operate on seven days a week as opposed to six days a week

supervisor yee, could you restate your motion? >> supervisor yee: sure. b.l.a. is asking for all four positions on temporary, three-year cycle, i guess. and what i'm suggesting is a compromise of putting two of the positions as permanent and two as suggested by b.l.a. on a three-year, temporary contract. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: how is that different? >> supervisor fewer is saying they should all be permanent. >> supervisor cohen: okay. there's a motion made and seconded by supervisor yee and let's take a roll call vote on that motion. [roll call vote] >> clerk: there are two ayes, three nos. >> supervisor cohen: motion fails. is there another motion to consider? supervisor fewer, anything that you want to -- >> supervisor fewer: so i can make a motion now? >> supervisor cohen: we have to give the controller's office direction on what to do with this item. >> supervisor fewer: i make a motion to maybe the three positions permanent. four positions permanent. >> and accept the underlying budget analyst recommendations that th

thank you. >> supervisor yee: thank you, supervisor yee. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you. i want to thank supervisor yee for sponsoring this. julius kahn is a hidden gem and i fully support supervisor yee's resolution to change the name of the public park to better reflect the values of our city. i have spoken with several community associations and leaders that are proud to support this name change. additionally, i've been in conversations with phil ginsburg, san francisco department of recreation, to ensure we have an open and conclusion dialogue in the renaming process and i look forward to those robust community discussions and want to be sure my name is added as a co-sponsor. thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you. colleagues, seeing no other names on the roster, can we take this item same house, same call? without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. next item. >> clerk: item 21 is a motion confirming cindy elias, and john hamasaski, april 302019 and april 30, 2022 to the police commission. >> supervisor breed: superv

supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: so this is the interim. and why did -- the dates are in june, so can expin that? june 1 through june 30. that doesn't make anyse -- oh, i see. i see these dates. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee, can you ask a question? >> supervisor yee: is this for a full year or a month? i don't understand. >> the june budget is a dupli thene in front of you. it is only for july, and then the board by charter approves at the vend of july. i believe the reference to june 2018, in the short title, which i think you're looking at, i k tinat relates to tran mission of the interim budget to the brgss which comes over from the mayor on june 1 of the fiscal year. it is effective as it says late june 30, 201 and june 30, 2019. >> supervisor yee: in your brief presentation, you talked about july 1 through end of july, and that's not part of this title, so i'm not -- maybe it's not important, but i guess reco i just wanto t make sure that we're talking about that month. >> it's absolutely true, what you're doing here is approvin

supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: not to him. not to mr. rosenberg. but a general question. maybe trying to get to this earlier in terms of my concerns, i think last time we -- >> supervisor cohen: he -- whoever is representing the airport come forward. >> supervisor yee: i'm a little concerned, and maybe more appropriate to the police department. but as, because i heard somebody say the last time we had this discussion that many of the police officers that get assigned to the airport, because of seniority, many of them are not your people that are coming out off the academies, meaning, i'm a little concerned, because what we are doing is all of a sudden we are having a big drain on possibly a big drain on the seasoned police officers in the city of san francisco and having a lot more rookies percentage-wise in san francisco. if it's true that many of the seasoned police officers want to just transfer over to the airport, it may not be true, but if it is, it's a big concern of mine. >> supervisor cohen: ok. so, any time an officer moves. >> a sergeant or officer, after proba

>> supervisor yee: madam chair? i wanted to ask you, did you accept the recommendations on both the port and the library? i know you did on the airport erviuphen: te por and the library? >> the departments both agreed with those recommendations, and i'm not sure if the committee -- budget recommendations concerning the port budget and the budget recommendations concerning the library budget. ite>> 4 is tibrary -- >> this is items 1, 2, and -- >> supervisor cohen: i see what you are saying. we have, i don't think we took action on that, correct me if i'm wrong. >> that's my understanding that you did accept the recommendations regarding the airport budget. >> supervisor cohen: but did not take a vote. >> you did on the airport. >> clerk: the vote was rescinded. no actions at this time. >> my question was, the same thing on the library and the -- >> supervisor cohen: no, that was not done for the library and the port. that's incorrect. ok. all right. department of the environment, welcome. >> thank you, good afternoon

supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: i'd like to hear a response from miss rubin in terms of ramping up and finding staff and so forth. >> actually, i've been a c.e.o. of a nonprofit for about the past 20 years. i'm a retired city employee, but i've worked on both sides of the aisle, but we've actually put ads in the paper. we're in processing and trying to have people in place on july 1. we've been in contact with the police department and the sheriff's department since january 1. as soon as we get an approved budget, we're prepared to spend -- my question back to the b.l.a. would be does that mean that the following year would be annualized at the original request or is this -- i don't understand that methodology quite frankly. >> we did not make any recommendations in the second year, which means the mayor's budget as proposed to this board -- >> supervisor cohen: well, let me interject here. so what she's saying is it is not annualized -- you will not see it in 19-20. you will have to start this pr

. >> supervisor yee: can i -- >> supervisor cohen: oh, e supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: i've been asking a little bit about this issue also, and i think what supervisor fewer is suggesting is reasonable, to look at something -- other options besides what they're -- the pathway they're taking at this point. the -- i don't understand technology as well as others, but when people talk to me about it and mention things like 5 something -- >> supervisor cohen: 5g. >> supervisor yee: 5g and other things they don't need to dig up holes in our ground, it seems a much better option to me. >> supervisor cohen: miss linda, could you comment on that? >> yust one more comment. regardless of the path we take, we need more information. that's what this year was going to be about. it was going to be understanding the market, understanding the construction that would be needed, and understand the network architecture to be put in place. 500,000 is not going to get us there, so i would say we would -- i would have to look at 500, what the value would be, but you will st

they disagree. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee. >> supervisor yee: ms. rose? your policy question here ask for i think 25. >> it's 25 for the first fiscal year 25.65 full time equivalent positions. when you annualize that supervisor, it would amount to 100 positions for each year. 25 for each year but again, annualized -- >> it's 25 in each year supervisor? for 18-19, 25.65, and 19, -- >> supervisor yee: that's 50. >> it's 25.65 in 18-19. does that make sense? >> supervisor yee: no. >> the budget that you're seeing has partially funded positions in each year because of the hiring date of those positions. the total increase in each year would be 50 new police positions or 100 total new position. >> supervisor yee: this 25 or 26 for 18-19 represents 50? >> right. >> supervisor yee: okay. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor fewer is going to ask a couple of questions. i think your questions for the b.l.a. after this round of questions we're going to pivot to the chief who's get a presentation on why he needs all these officers. >> supervisor fewer: my question is jus

: okay. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: so just given that the audit wouldn't be finished until the end of september, then, you're already cutting it pretty close. did you say a third of a year? >> supervisor cohen: i said a third of a year, given a third of the year would be the end of september. i'm taking the direction from the controller's office who's asked for -- who's made the suggestion. >> supervisor yee: so basically, we would have something to request -- decision to release the funds by the end of september. >> supervisor cohen: yes. >> i think four months would leave three months for us to complete the work and for this committee to complete it and one month to consider to release the reserve, but the choice of time is really at your discretion. >> supervisor fewer: okay. i think, if i may, i think it's really important to note that putting this money in reserve is saying that we're not eliminating the department, or that we as a committee issic at thatting back funds. but i do want to put on

i would like to recognize supervisor yee for the first commendation. >> supervisor yee: colleagues, i want to recognize the department of public works staff christina olaya and jimmer caseel, who have been instrumental in making iure that our youngest arn to navigate our city streets safelyid traffic-related injuries. the three pillars are engineering and enforcement, but we also know from data that over 20% of all pedestrian deaths curveldrehi5 to 9 years old. which is why this is for elementary school students. 1/3 of pedestrians are children. in this age group, 60% of the injuries and deaths occur when a child is crossing a road or heading to school. by state, california has the highest number of traffic-related fatalitalitiefa by ci, san francisco l.a. have the highest number of pedestrians fatalities and injuries. according to department of public health pedestrian safety project, most child pedestrians e injed on their way to and from school, particularly in the sohern end of 19 avenue. these injuries and deaths are completely no person or family member should ever have to suffe

supervisor yee, i understand that's exactly what you said. >> supervisor yee: yes. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee made the motion, stefani seconded. >> clerk: adopted with supervisor sheehy not at the meeting. item 7, a hearing on the controller's nine-month budget status report for fiscal years 2017-18 and requesting the office of controller and the mayor's office of budget to report. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. mr. rosenfield. >> we can present on the nine-month report. i would suggest procedurally you probably on items 2 and 3, want to accept the budget analyst recommendations. >> supervisor cohen: that's what i was trying to do, but i was unsuccessful, so -- mr. clark. >> supervisor yee: i would like to make a motion to accept the b.l.a. recommendation for those amendments. for the items that were included in 2 and 3. >> supervisor cohen: awesome. i'll second that, and take it without objection. >> clerk: b.l.a. recommendations for items 2 and 3, have been accepted with supervisor sheehy being excused from today's meeting. and may i suggest, i believe it was proposed that

take it away. >> supervisor yee: no. it's just that i did offer the audit, and i had some questions, similar questions, and i'll go down on that. and the -- in the last year, i had worked with chief scott to try to form a task force to look at the police staffing. and you know, you and other colleagues supported that notion by allowing us to add $150,000 back into that back process so that it could be supported. unfortunately, it's taken them a while to get started. i think they're almost ready to get started. it's been a year, but -- so that needs to happen. so you're absolutely correct that the police department really, with the police commission, really need to look at what really is the police need, you know, most updated in terms of best practices and so forth. and i think this audit really helps to -- in regards to not so much what the police staffing needs are, but how it could be improved, the efficiency. so a couple questions around the civilianization piece. first of all, you -- this -- this handout we just rec

. >> supervisor yee: could you back up to the taxi incentives? there is a requirement that they complete 20 paratransit per month and what happens when they don't? >> we would not pay them the incentive that month, that $300 for that vehicle. we have a good track record and we know that the drivers doing a good job are able to make them trips. they would not get the incentive that particular month. >> >> julie: can one taxi receive both incentives at the same time? >> yes, nay always get the $10 per track for every paratransit wheelchair trip and the other is for maintenance of the vehicle, so they can get both. >> supervisor yee: so one can get $600? >> correct. >> >> julie: my office was working on the issue of the west side that people stopped using the paratransit because it took so long to get to senior services, has that improved? >> yes. believe me you would hear. that was about adult day health care services in the group van program and transis now doing some of that service and we are tracking carel carefully the rie and hearing good thi

now we will go to our 2: special commendations and i will supervisor norman yee. >> supervisor yee: thank you, president breed. not too long ago, i started paying attention to our veterans of world war ii and introduced a resolution that will be heard today. and during that process, i wanted to highlight as much as i could and had a press conference to talk about it today. during this process, i wasn't sure if i would be able to locator have any of these veterans come to this press conference because of their age and i just didn't know any of them personally, except for my father-in-law, who wouldn't be able to come because ofis h disability. and i was -- so i was told that one of them was going to be there. and he did show up. but to our delight this morning or this afternoon, there were three o the world war ii veterans, chinese americans that showed up. they're in their 90s. and i would love for them. see them up here in the front. and their names are alan yee, dale king and durano wong. they served in different services of the military from the navy to the army to the air force. and o
