Have ever seen. I think it was, we dont want to put in first of all, theyre confidential. We dont want to put in anything that would restrict participation in or reporting of information but i have never understood so closed does not speak to the merits of the number of complaints received. Im wondering if theres a reason and i think there is, but if you could tell me again, i would appreciate it. You are correct. Because the complaint is closed doesnt mean it was substantiated. We evaluate the complaint, the investigation determines if theres a factual basis for the allegations and then if the allegations are true, if the alleged conduct would violate city criteria, policy and procedure or city code does that answer the first part . Substantiated or unsubstantiated are both inside the closed category. And in the quarterly and annual reports it breaks down it breaks out by department. Theres a table in quarterly reports or chart showing which percentage of complaints closed led to Department Taking corrective or preventive action. Or even it shows whether or not the department moves on the recommendation of the whistleblower controller office, somewhat outside your control. But at least you can measure accurately the number of recommendations measured against the overall complaints, you said to the department we have investigation pursuant to the authority, we recommend disciplinary action to whatever department and they can be measured. Are they . I think the stae tick statis youre asking for, its by publishing in the reports which part investigated and closed resulted in a corrective and preventive action by the departments. Those are published in the annual reports. In the annual report. And quarterly. Fantastic. Thank you. I think Going Forward something we can do that will help the committee and help the dialogue that well have across the podium is pull some of the stats in our presentation just so that we can focus attention on those in a more public form. But definitely all of that work is published on our web site annually or quarterly. Any other comments . Any Public Comment . Thank you. Seeing none yes. Good morning Committee Members, im a whistleblower. I would like to thank Committee Member carlson for his inquiry about complaints that linger for a year or more. I have a complaint filed with the program and its well over 11 months, close to a year. Id like to echo mr. Flahertys concern that when complaints linger for a long time, people tend to think theyre not being taken seriously. Thats true. But theres another concern. The vast majority of the complaints are sent right back to the department that the complaint was filed against. And given human nature, theres going to be resistance and reluctance to investigate ones own colleagues. Particularly when its a high level official, which is what my complaint was about. I dont know how to resolve this, except that the program outlines certain reasons why complaints take a long time but they never mention the awkwardness and resistance that departments face when they have to investigate their own people. One thing that would be helpful, if a complaint drags on for a year or more, that the complainant would be contacted and informed. We check on the computer and all it tells you is under investigation. Under investigation. But why for a year . So anyway, i just wanted to put that out there. Thank you. Thank you dr. Kerr. Any other Public Comment . If not, call the next item. Item seven, opportunity for Committee Members to comment or take action on any matters within the jurisdiction. Pad am cochair these are items fiscal year 2017 18 work initiatives, items ag. I can give background on those. So brenda and i met with peg to go over some of the great ideas that have come up over the past few meetings for ways to get information out to our voters. So we finally decided to write them down in one place and peg has agreed to give us updates on all of them at every meeting so we can understand the progress of these good ideas. Probably better to do it from here. So peg stevenson from the controllers office. Ill make brief comments on each items and answer any questions you might have. The benchmarking work is well underway. We have chosen jurisdictions, a couple of them here in the city of San Francisco, a couple other cities have similar functionality. We have basic information and doing interviews, we expect to issue a report before the end of the calendar year and have this available for presentation to you in your january peting. So thats where we are with the benchmarking. The standardized template, comparing it to the material that was in our annual geo bond report presented on in september and the table that i included in your packet has differences between them. I guess my suggestion here are that the same information is largely in both. There isnt a substantial schedule or report that youre not getting in your quarterlies that was in our annual. I do think there are some visual and layout improvements that the quarterly would benefit from just looking at it and looking at some of the ways the information is presented. The changes in format and that sort of thing. There are consistency improvements across the program that could be made. Could be added to the quarterly and improve it, visual graphs for context like the little fuel gauge graph on completions for some of the bond program confines that i think are mostly presented in text right now. Theyre doing bullet points of text completion and that sort of thing. What im proposing to do, ill meet with julia dawson, the finance and administration at public works and the person who is the owner of the quarterly template, ill see if we can go ahead with some of the improvements were observing and fold them into the next couple of programs that come before you. Theres detail in the quarterlies that is not in our wrap up program report. Change orders for example you wouldnt want to not have. Its not entirely a 1 way street. Let me have that meeting with julia and see where they are having updated financials and then we can report to you on improvements. One quick question its two separate reports. The report they do for the presentation, theres more details in the quarterlies that are present. There wasnt anything to compare it to in the geo bond. Theres still work to be done. Web site improvements, our technical people have met to talk about this, similar improvements to controllers own web site. I think what will happen next, were probably going to get a short contract through the text door, a web designer to do a better job for us. If there are tests formats we think you should look at before we publish them, we can do that with them. Probably mostly make the improvements and report them to you. Great. The satisfaction survey, we have a pool of providers that do Public Satisfaction. All different surveying. Well bring you a couple of options to the january meeting. The conversation was feedback on what you want Public Satisfaction survey to contain. Do you want to try and test the opinion of users of a facility, voters, the general public, probably a couple of different possible constituencies you might be interested in. There are different ways to test. There are surveys youre in the facility people are using, handing them a survey and asking them, phone polls, web polls. Different sampling approaches. We have some opinions about this and our providers will have opinions, too. What im proposing to do is bring you a couple of options in january and see if we can get some feedback from you. Bens suggestion, he has in mind, streetscape Improvement Project and then a facility project such as a rec center. I think i can speak to him that those would be a good scale test of opinion and we know how to survey the users of those. A voter test could be harder. The Public Finance forward calendar, you got the memo which jamie prepared, thats a regular feature of the packet, already proved its usefulness i think. Expenditure audits are underway and before tanya leaves the room, i dont know off the top of my head, when they are expected to be completed, certainly not january but one of the following meetings in the fiscal year. It will be third and fourth quarter. Thank you. And finally geo bond report is on the list. We didnt talk about that specifically but just keep it on our calendar. Any comments, questions . Thank you. Other matters not in the list . All right. Can you barb, i think we all got this in the mail. Did you guys yes. Go over quickly what it is were signing here. Thank you for sending it out. The item that cochair, she was referring to is the harassment policy education from the city that is dube at the en of the year, for those commissioners who Supervisor City staff. And so, this committee does not supervisor any city staff and so you were given instructions via email and guidelines as to how to complete and submit that form to me. Great. Okay. Thank you. Any other matters . Great. Have a good holiday. Were adjourned. All right. Good morning, everyone. I am mohammed nuru, the director of the San Francisco public works department. I want to gyp by just thanking all of you by joining us to celebrate the completion of our new office of chief medical examiners facility. [ applause ] just to acknowledge a couple of people that are joining us today i see the fire chief. His wife is here. I see commander laz is r is here, along with commander ewing from the police department. Of course, our sheriff, sheriff hennessee, who will be actually providing security at this facility, tom dewey, the director, and the office of occi. The office of Community Engagement and involvement. Yes. And, of course, all of you. I just again want to say thank you. What a tremendous project this is. It brings me great joy to welcome this new addition to the citys infrastructure to Hunters Point the neighborhood the prom has been in the works for a while. Were glad to have it in bayview. Not only is this facility a worldclass facility, its this facility has been delivered in a very fiscal matter and timely. I think, for me, one of the most important things that we like on a job and it happened on this job, it was delivered with a great safety record. Not one injury in the two years this prom was built. This project is a support project. Its and as the director of the project i want to say how proud hi am to deliver this project. And i want to take this opportunity to thank the Public Works Team in all of the work they did on this project. That was led by city architect edgar lopez. Several of our project architects, magnidina royal. I also want to thank our talented construction crew and construction company, clock construction, who did a very, very good in delivering this. And, of course, k. M. D. Architects, the designers of the facility. And, most important, our client and partner, dr. Hunter, and his staff. And i can tell you, with all of the projects in this city, none of them would be possible without the leadership of our mayor, ed lee. Who, ed, before you became mayor, you were at the city administrators office. You will hear from the city administrator today also. But his commitment and his dedication to making sure that we invest in capital improvements, especially towards our infrastructure project. And he has made that a top priority of his administration. And through his leadership, a lot of projects that the city desperately needs are actually happening. So im not going to say a lot of great things that ed has done, but lets hear from him, our mayor, ed lee. [ applause ] why arent you going to say a lot about what ive done . Whats wrong with that . Well, let me say this this is a fun day because a number of accomplishments are made. You know, i see our president , london breed, who is here just sitting down now because shes so busy doing so many other things. But she found the time. And working in partnership with the board is really born when it comes to earthquake safety and Emergency Response. So let me give you the larger picture of why today is so important. We have to get ready for the big disasters. Weve seen it happen. Its gotten really close with the fires up north. And you realize how much things that should, could have been done to prevent that. But we also have the your honors in but we also have the hurricanes in the south. We have manmades and we study them. Thats why so many of our participants today are part of our First Responder agencies and personnel because this facility is that important. When we were in recruitment and interviewing dr. Hunter for this job as chief medical examiner, he asked because he toured the original place. Im sure he mild at the recent news that were getting as many people out of the hall of justice as possible. Well, buried in the basement has been dr. Hunters office for quite some time. He smiled when he sat down with us and said, youre going to help us build a brand new facility, right . Because he cant do the worldclass modern Toxicology Laboratory work at this office that hes commanded to do. He cant have parents and families of people who want to know what happened on any incident be disrespected in the basement of the hall of justice and sometimes waiting for weeks, in fact, months to have some dignity for what happened h. You cant have sheriffs and other people waiting for the same reason. And you cant have less than professional standards operating in that office. And not only did we head up one of the best in the country for that office, we had this office. Thats why i enjoy working with mohammed so much and the city administrator. We had this whole office and the chief medical examiner inform us about how to design this place adequately. Thats with edgar and the k. M. D. Actorra tects architects designed the building. When you involve the professionals, you are going to get a topclass product when you work with them at the top. And when we have the firstclass responders of a worldclass facility, then youre going to get that. But the real conversation is this with supervisor cohens support, with the entire board of supervisors, the conversation started back in 2010, where we want that conversation with the public what should we do better and be prepared better for . And they voted in a very strong, over 70 support for earthquake safety Emergency Response. And they did it twice in 2010 and again in 2014 when we asked that all of our police facilities, our stations, our fire stations, our department, our Emergency Response facilities get upgraded to withstand a major shake. Now we have a worldclass medical Examiners Office that, for all of the reasons i said earlier, the public can trust. We did it, as mohammed said, on time and on budget. Thats why i invest in public works. When we want to get something done, our board and mayor says lets get public works in charge and, with our city administrator, we get the job done. We also get the job done when we work with our partners in labor. And i must say to the carpenters union, to the labors union, thank you, thank you, thank you for making this such a safely built place, but also for your embracement of programs like city build and local hire. Because there are 44 individuals from San Francisco that help build this if facility with allf the work and that is a great milestone for the Bayview Community. Because the saying says around here, if the community doesnt build it, nobody builds it. I know thats the feeling we accomplish right here in this building. And more an more of our public projects will always involve graduates of city build, local hire, the community. Thats how we build things with the communities, with our own hands. Its not just these buildings. Its the downtown building. Its the chase arena for the warriors. When people say we built that, then 2010 and 2014 conversations with the public about general Obligation Bonds and all of the other financial tools that we have to have our voters vote on, theyll be that much happier. When we finish this project and i know our city administrators and our finance officers are really happy. When we retire debt, then we create even more room for the next bond programs. And the public will put trust in putting their votes in on that. Not only did we do it in this fashion, as i said. We involved, yet, another examination that i think is becoming more and more important to the quality of work we do in these buildings. That was the Art Commission. The Art Commission got the first 2 out of this public project, the full 2 . And i know susans really happy she she doesnt like the 1 . She likes the 2 . And shes done really well because im i havent gone in and seen it yet, but weve honored and i know dr. Hunter is really joyful to honor somebody that hes known throughout the country having been the historic medical examiner hex pert for the city, dr. Boyd stevens. And i know his own coat is somewhere in there in some remnant in some classic fashion of art work. So we honor our historic leaders, as well as our art and art for this, for them that will work here and people that will visit here. It is about infrastructure. It is about First Responders. Its about the first level of medical professionalism in the medical examiner world. It is about having a worldclass forensic Toxicology Laboratory. Thats a lot of scientific words. What it comes down to sometimes is we need to know what happened. We need to have Scientific Trust to it so that our trust and public knows what happened to a person, what happened to a family, what happened in a major event. We need to have it safely done in this building. These bonds are going to be important constantly. When we build on time and when we build within the parameters that the public expects us to do, theyre going to give us a lot more support for our public bonds and for our public programs. So public works, city administrator, to all of you and the way you did this, thank you very much. Lets get on with not only opening this and having people move out of the hall of jus
