Specificity of what is budgeted, but it is a very coordinated effort of which h. R. C. Plays a main convening and implementation role. Thank you. Supervisor mental him in . Do you currently have any vacant positions . We have three. How long have they been vacant . They are actually connected to the office of sharp, so it is part of a process. They have been vacant since we were given them, but there was a process to go through hiring, which is which has slowed us down. How long has that been . A year basically, because funding was given last fiscal year, but it would have actually been higher a arm starting in october or november. Wow. To the chair, can i answer . Yesterday at the board of supervisors we passed an ordinance to fix a hiccup that came up in the hiring process, because it is a very special, new department. We wanted Community Involved in the hiring process, but there were laws that conflicted with that that we overwrote in that legislation yesterday, which is partially why there has been this delay. Okay. Thank you. When you had to propose reductions, what did you propose , how did you deal with that . In all honesty, when we talked about reductions, we talked about the fact that we had been doing some reductions for a while and that we were doing a lot of temporary positions and we proposed to maintain, because we actually were operating under a debit deficit. Okay. , all right. Thank you. Any other questions . Thank you very much. Lets move on to the department of the status of women. I think we have a status writer here. Please set the timer. Thank you. Good afternoon members of the budget committee. I am the director of the San Francisco department on the status of women, joined by fiscal and policy manager, natalie. I want to thank our budget analyst for her work with our department. Next slide. The mission of our department is to foster equitable treatment and advancement of all women and girls throughout San Francisco their policy, legislation, and programs. One of the questions was about our strategic goals. We advance gender equity initiatives and our goal is to end genderbased violence. Those are our two primary service areas. And just a few data points about the status of women, women provide comprise 40 9 of the citys population, so chair fewer in district one, you are tied for second place with 50 2 women. Supervisor stefani, district two is in first place with 50 3 , supervisor mandelman, district eight, has 44 women, supervisor ronen, district nine, 48 , and president you, you are tied at second place with 50 2 women. Of all the women in San Francisco, women of color make it 50 7 , and account for 50 3 of all immigrants in San Francisco, over two thirds are from asia. Women in poverty account for 13 of all women in San Francisco, however race matters. Half of all Pacific Islanders that are single mothers experience poverty. One in three africanamerican single moms, and one in four latin x. Single moms are poor. Fourteen of asian whites and go moms represent poverty, and one of the root causes is Domestic Violence, which is a major part of our work. We address equity issues by analysing data for gender, race, and other characteristics. This is a three year budget comparison. The proposed budget includes an increase of about 200,000 for the cost of doing business in San Francisco, and well go directly to our city grant partner. The single Largest Program is the violence against women prevention and Education Grant program. Other admin expenses are 16 , and we are not proposing any change to our six f. T. E. In terms of department initiatives, the Mayors Task Force on trafficking, the most recent report showed 673 cases of Human Trafficking in San Francisco. It encourages committee and helps implement reform, to eliminate Domestic Violence homicide for a period of four years beginning in 2010, but since 2014, we have had about eight incidents of murder, so there is still work to do. We are doing work on a citywide Racial Equity working group with the leadership of the human rights commission. We are implementing a new database on Racial Equity and using Racial Equity tool for internal policy. I wanted to plant a seed next year. We will be celebrating the centennial of the womens right to vote since august in august 2020. Next, his department initiatives they are all grant funded. We have a u. S. Department of office against women, Domestic Violence assessment which is a three year grant. 750,000 in partnership with the d. A. , and a. P. A. Family advocates. Number 2 is a blue shield of california Violence Prevention Program with safe and sound Young Community developers for 384,000. And then we received an intent to award from the California Department of social services, a 9 milliondollar grant to address the need of commercially sexually exploited children. And then in terms of our single Largest Program, the violence against women, our funding allocation is 8 million, and the chart shows the growth over time. Fifty funds crisis line services, legal services, intervention, and advocacy. Theres about 21 that goes to support prevention. My last slide, this is my summary of the performance measures. We can tell you we funded 25,000 crisis calls, 7,000 shelter bed nights, 7,000 individuals were served in 27 and 2018 budget. I will conclude there, and answer your questions. Thank you very much. Colleagues, any questions or comments . Just a quick one. Yes . So i know you explained it in your presentation, but the intergovernmental revenue from this state, what does that pay for . It is an intent to award, we do not have the award in hand yet, but it is a Wraparound Service and housing option grant for commercially sexually exploited children. We will have ten partners on that grants, principally huckleberry house and freedom forward, but also edgewood, and there is a whole roster. We are waiting to get the contract approved at the state level to be in the next two weeks. And that is just a oneyear contract . It is a threeyear contract. It is a three year contract, but it is not over three years . We are the only ones in the state to receive it, and it is a pilot to see how we can grow the capacity of foster families to take in survivals of human truck survivors of Human Trafficking, into make sure their Wraparound Services available. Thank you. I will ask my standard questions. Do you have vacancies currently . We have six fulltime f. T. E. We have 64 in those positions. We have a halftime grant funded position that is vacant and we will have another one beginning in july 1st, assuming the state grant the state grant comes through and we are in the process of hiring. How did you deal with the directive, when you had to propose reductions, how did you deal with it . We are asked to identify cuts we have worked closely with our grant partners and rather than picking and choosing, we have a very Strong Network of Service Providers and the approach we take is an acrosstheboard cut to need to be meet the budget target, but thankfully, the mayor has decided not to impose those cuts for these lifesaving , Homelessness Prevention programs. What is the balance of general fund versus grants . We are 100 general fund. These numbers reflect general fund dollars. When you say you have a halftime grant funded position, you have budget in addition to the night before Million Dollars that is the blue shield grant it will be for two years. I guess i am asking, how much money is being leveraged outside of the general fund . A Million Dollars plus the potential 9 million. That is the only grant you have . We have three grants, the state grant, the blue shield for 385 and then the u. S. Department of justice for 750. Thank you. Can you walk through the six positions and what each persons title is and what they do . We have a director, we have a commission sector terry who doubles as a recycling coordinator, all the different citywide responsibilities. We have a policy and Program Policy and projects director who is responsible for the overall direction of policy on both workplace and the ending violence, we have a policy and grant manager who helps us look for grants and is stuffing the the department of justice, Domestic Violence prevention effort, naturally serves as our fiscal policy manager, and lets see, how many is that . And the associate director who manages our entire violence against women prevention and grants program, our single Largest Program, the 8 milliondollar program that was five positions. Myself, the commission secretary, programs, lets see, policy director, fiscal policy manager, grants associate, and our associate director. So i have director, secretary , policy and projects director, then theres is there a policy manager and a grants manager . Policy and grants manager. Okay. Fiscal policy manager. Fiscal policy . Fiscal and policy. And the final one is associate director. So how is the physical and policy manager different from the policy and grants manager . Or policy and grants manager supports the department of justice, Domestic Violence intervention, and goes out and seeks grants. One of the things that miss alvarez is working on is she is, in this year crew core heart, and looking at our internal policies that we want to align with the board, and the mayors priority on equity. For example, we have a very antiquated system of collecting data, so we cant really tell you how many recommendations how many women are accessing our services. Miss alvarez is spearheading an effort to have a tool that will collect that data for us so we can do more disaggregated analysis. Okay. Sorry, im sorry if i missed this, but supervisor mandelman said there was a vacant positions. You said there was one . 0. 5 currently, and there will be one beginning july 1st, assuming things go well at the state. These are both grant funded. The general fund funded positions are all full. Of these six positions, which one are general fund . All of them. Those are additional grants and positions that arent included in this. Yes. Thank you. Any other comments or questions . I just have one, a couple of questions, i wanted to mention that i understand that what youre department does is it gives out a life grant that aligns to your Mission Statement , but again, i think i said this last year, is that what i dont get from the department on the statuses of women, is actually what is the status of women in San Francisco i know you have given demographic information about how many women are in each of our district, but really, what we want to know is, how are women faring in this job economy how are they fearing in the homeless crisis, how many in our affordability crisis . How does this affect single women with children . How has this gone up in comparison, inconsistently, since i have been on the board, i have not seen that. I have seen a report from your department. It says what your department is doing. I do not see your report on the status of women of San Francisco this, in my opinion, is the most disappointing thing. I see you have six members of your staff that are all general fund. I see five of these could be grant generated money and not general fund money. That is just my personal opinion i think there is disappointment of not really knowing what the status of women really is, and we are somehow setting and also, as a board, we are setting policy not knowing how this might impact the status of women , how well are they fearing as women . Are certain policies are redoing , are they adversely affecting women, are they encouraging the vitality and viability of women being able to stay here in San Francisco . Who is leading San Francisco, and what are the differences among different women that they are grappling with, and i want to particularly say, the most disappointing thing about not having that report is about the Health Outcomes of women, and the Health Outcomes of women who are dealing with this. I just want to say that i know this is a highlevel conversation, but i have to mention it every year. I feel like this is a big disappointment that i am not seeing that information. I understand they will be a huge undertaking in the study since we have not had a report like that, and i had asked the court and in their past reports and they are not able to give me any comprehensive reports. Therefore, will be starting from a new base of how women, specifically, are suffering in the city of San Francisco, and i know that we all share the same concerns about what is happening with women, but i think, as we open up the office of Racial Equity, that we have to look at these things if we are looking at it through gender, how are women faring . How are they surviving here in San Francisco . What are there challenges compared to the challenges of men . I think that is what we want to hone into, otherwise, we are setting up legislation and policy in the dark. Inc. You very much. I appreciate it. Any other questions . None. I would like to respond to that. We did post a report on the status of women on our website and we provided it to your age. Were happy to come. I saw that report, as i said again, it is important what your office has done this year, but not on the status of women. That is a very different subject if you like to keep speaking about this, im happy to do that , but now were running out of time. I would like the director of ethics to come up and give her presentation. Thank you. Were happy to brief you and your office. We are happy to and your office. Excuse me, i want to announce that after this last presentation, we will be breaking for left for 30 minutes madame clerk, please start the clock. Thank you very much. Thank you, good afternoon, supervisors. I am happy to be here today on behalf of the ethics commission. This is my fourth year bringing forward the commissions recommendations for the budget. Im here with our Deputy Director and chief programs officer was essentially our chief Financial Officer and chief personnel officer. Im happy to answer any questions that you may have. As you know, the commission was created in 1933 by San Francisco book voters. Our mission is to promote behavior in San FranciscoCity Government, and we do this through a range of programs, programmatic mandates. Our structure and our function, you maybe aware that we are a small department. We have 23 total f. T. E. We currently have four vacancies due to recent attrition, and also to promotional opportunities within the office. We were lucky to obtain staff in recent hiring. We are a very flat organization. We multitask at all levels. That is something you will see in all work, and in the way we approach our budget and strategy over the years. Both in terms of our broad programmatic mandate, and responsibilities as well with broad functional duties that we have both to make sure we are doing disclosure effectively, trying to engage and equip the public effectively to be active participants in local democracy, to make sure we are being accountable as an office, and Holding Others in City Government accountable for their work. We conduct policy analysis, we make the legislative recommendations, try to make sure laws are strong, workable and enforceable. Specifically in terms of our strategic budget focus, there are several goals and approaches that are continuing to guide and shape the work that we are doing , enhance compliance is critical, making sure the laws are strong and effective, something that we are very focused on and the staff is providing meaningful public exposure in a way that the public is asking for information that is useful and informative to them, and promoting accountability in public trust. Key to achieving this progress in any of these areas as we invest wisely in the work that we leverage all resources we are given and entrusted to have, that we align those resources very closely with the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are required of the work we are doing and the changing nature of the work that we have. We want to focus on Staff Development and retention through that work. It is also critical that we adapt. It is important we effectively apply leading practices to our work. We are constantly asking ourselves, can we do better. Were constantly looking to hear from others about how we can do better and that is something you will see in the coming fiscal year is a kenny continued focus as we have been able to staff up the recent hiring plan. It also requires us to track and monitor the works we know what progress looks like and we can report to you and the public about how were doing, what we need to be doing better, and how we can collectively support transparent and Accountable Government in a better way. The last slide i want to highlight is specif
