Temporary increase for next year only that allows us the funding to bring in an Additional Academy class. Madam chair . Chair fewer yes. So our understanding is the department wants to add these positions to redeploy Deputy Sheriffs to other areas of work, which was recommended in the controllers report. So these positions, thats what their goal is. Our recommendation still allows them to do that. Its just instead we would allow eight new civilian positions in the first year and two new additional two additional new civilian positions in the second year, totaling ten new positions in the department for that purports and allows the department to recruit, hire, train a large number of staff and assess the workload for that staff. It gives them some time to do that. Now, the overtime and Deputy Sheriff, they have six posts. We know that that is sort of a separate tradeoff. What were doing is this is allowing them to free up some Deputy Sheriff to staff those six posts, so these are, again, 10 new civilian positions that were recommending over the two years. And if you would like more information about the overtime, wed be happy to if the department could provide us with any of their parts regarding the overtime, wed be happy to look at that and give it a quick analysis. Chair fewer thank you. President yee i think that would really clarify these positions and so forth. I know youre trying to explain it to me. No, thats fine. We can do that. Chair fewer supervisor mandelman . Supervisor mandelman im wondering if maybe the b. L. A. Can help me understand a little bit better how you think what is absorbable by a department. It seems like the department has asked for 34 13 positions, and it would be seven in one year, and six in the next. So the mayors view of their capacity to hire is that 13 cant happen in one year, but seven can happen in one year and six in the next. You think that thats more than this department can do. How do you reach that . Thats our experience of looking at this department and other departments coming back year after year seeing that departments are not able to fill these positions like they promised theyd do in the budget hearings in june. So its an accumulation of experience looking at that, which is and we dont disagree that they shouldnt have some additional civilian positions so they can redeploy at Deputy Sheriffs. Supervisor mandelman and if we think theyre always going to miss their target, so if we give them 10, theyre going to hire 8, we give them 8, theyre going to hire 6 were very skeptical. Can i say, supervisor, the three years that ive been sheriff, ive hired 150 sheriffs and brought them on board. Ive hired 30 civilians and brought them on board. We have a current vacancy of 25, unlike other departments last week who said they have a number of vacancies, were in negative territory because were really striving to bring down our overtime. May i add just one point about the other recommendation just to put it in context . Our recommendation is to reduce the c. B. O. Line by 50,000. Their total budget for that line item is 4. 3 million. The only chair fewer so i just want to ask, so youre unable to find savings within your department to actually fund some of these positions that the b. L. A. Is cutting. We have heard from department after department their willingness to come forward and actually come to a compromise or even suggest one, but your department has not. Thats correct. Chair fewer so you can imagine that we have seen this we have heard from 50 departments, time and time again, smaller than yours, that are willing to give. But in your one department, you have said, i refuse to give anything. No chair fewer i just want to say that that is unacceptable to this committee, that we think within your department that you can find something, and that is in good faith for the people of San Francisco is paying good taxes for this department to run. I just want to say quite frankly that that level of not working with this committee and also with the b. L. A. Is, i would say, somewhat disturbing. And regardless, i think you present a good argument, and the b. L. A. Is presenting a good argument. And you had a carryover of unspend funds of 232,000. Can i Say Something . Chair fewer yes. The 232,000, well give back. Which item do you think were being unreasonable about, because in the last four years, our staff budget has not gone up. I would draw your attention to the c. S. A. Audit that we just received yesterday that includes all the information about our staffing and our budget and about their recommendations, and ive accepted all their recommendations because i think they did a good job on this. So its hard to adjust and say say wait a minute, i want to bring my overtime down, like ive been requested to do, and also do it in a way that makes sense through civilianization, but also in a way that moves deputies back into sworn positions but also getting enough people hired that we wont be back here again with this overtime issue and continuing on that through the next year. And overtime isnt just its not just about the money in overtime, its about the toll it takes on the department trying to fill positions, and i think you have recognized that, and i appreciate that chair fewer sheriff, i just want to say, i think this committee has heard that. I think this committee, as you know, has heard that and recognized that, and that is not what im talking about. I didnt know about this 232,000 that youre giving back. Could you please explain and mr. B. L. A. , were you aware of that . Well, thats what they recommended. If theres an alternative proposal that the department is presenting, wed be happy to take a look. Chair fewer okay. Mr. Holling . If we were given a dollar amount by the b. L. A. , wed be happy to identify 250,000 to give back. We dont think cutting back the civilianization is the way to do it. Its the qualitative aspect of these services, not the dollar amount. Were happy to work with the b. L. A. To identify 250,000. Chair fewer that is very good to know, mr. Holling. So confer with the b. L. A. , and im wondering if youre willing to come back after conferring with the b. L. A. Well take a break after lunch. I think the thing about the dollar amount, we are hearing you. We have heard from years, we have heard from your Deputy Sheriffs how they resent you making them work mandatory overtime, and taking time away from their families. My husband was in Law Enforcement for 35 years, but i want to say we have heard you, and we applaud the fact that you requested a controllers report on staffing and you are trying to follow the recommendations. What we dont applaud, quite frankly is unwillingness or perceived unwillingness to find any funding savings within. So i think the disagreement is ideology, not monetary, and that we can come to this is the budget and finance committee, so if you can confer with the b. L. A. On this, i think that we might be able to come to an agreement today, and i definitely think that this committee hopes so. So if you wouldnt mind if you have a time constraint, we hate for you to have to come back tomorrow. Actually, wed like to get it done today. If you can do that, that will be great, and well hold our other committees i mean, departments ahead of you. And if you can work that out, and i hope you can, well get that settled today. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Well do that. Well do that. Chair fewer okay. So lets hear from Public Health now. Good afternoon, chair fewer and supervisors. Grant colfax, department of Public Health. We are in alignment with the b. L. A. And their recommendations. Wed like to thank kristina and severin for their hard work on our collaboration and we are in agreement with the recommendations. Chair fewer thank you, dr. Colfax. In fact, lets hear first from the b. L. A. Thank you, madam chair. The departments proposed budget for fiscal year 201920 is 52,875,813 or 2. 2 more than the fiscal year 1819 budget of 2,369,898,228. The departments proposed 2,228,448,000 is. 1 less than the mayors proposed fiscal year 2019 budget. Our recommended reductions to the proposed budget total 3,822,052 in recommended reductions. 2,034,833 are ongoing savings. This would still allow an increase of 2. 1 in the departments fiscal 1920 budget. Of the 2,063,364 in recommended reductions, 50,000 are one time savings, as you just heard from the department, we are in full agreement. [inaudible] supervisor ronen yes. I just wanted to thank everyone from the department for getting me all that data. I know there is one outstanding thing, but i just wanted to say i appreciate it. Thank you. Chair fewer thank you, supervisor ronen. We do have one item, which is item 5, which is an expend. Madam clerk, would you please call item 5. [agenda item read]. Chair fewer thank you very much. Dr. Colfax, would you like to comment on that . Yes. Ill have greg wagner, our chief Financial Officer comment on this. Item number 5 is an item that you see each year for the budget submission with the department of Public Health. This is a set of grants that we receive from the state on an ongoing basis. As part of the conditions for those grants, were required to have approval by this board either under our local laws or requirements of the state and rather than bring those individually to you through the accept and expend process which is coumbersome and since these are repeating and recurring grants, we bring them to you in a single resolution at the budget period and ask for your approval to accept those funds. They are aproeptpropriated in proposed budget. Chair fewer all right. Well open this up for Public Comment. Mr. Wright, do you have any Public Comment on item 5 . You know, i object to the services thats been applied by department of Public Health. Youre getting all this money to serve people with a kbip combination of physical and mental disabilities, and theyre homeless. Youre making appointments to see people out sleeping in sleeping bags, and you make an appointment to come back out to the same time location expecting to see them and provide them with services, and then youre in the newspaper how youve got a shortage of beds. Says it right here, and then, the amount of beds that you provide is less than 2,000, okay . Youve got mental professionals saying the best way to provide services with people with disabilities and mental disabilities is to provide them with permanent housing. The amount that youre spending on calling yourselves treating people with mental disabilities should be spent on providing permanent housing and then you can provide the treatment thats needed that youre being paid for because the persons the people that youre helping have permanent housing and you know where theyre located instead of running around the city like a chicken with its head cutoff. Youve got approximately 8,011 Homeless People out on the street right now, and youre supposed to be providing Mental Services for them. How are you going to serve them when theyre out on the streets . And by the same response, your shelter system is outrageous. Heres a person right here thats got nowhere to go, got a mental disability and nowhere to go, and the police is moving their property when theyre living out in the tent. The shelters are overcrowded, dont have nowhere to go, and the population has swelled up 17 . Los angeles has swelled up 16 , and the police are getting infected by diseases thats supposed to have been way in the 1800s thats now populated because of the homeless. Chair fewer thank you, mr. Wright. Any other Public Comment . In conjunction with the increase in attorney employment with review and analysis of prior judicial determination and response to the changing legal environment, will you consider Youth Mental Health counseling as an adjunct priority . Ive spoken with several deportees abroad who have spent time in u. S. Prison prior to deportation. These individuals shared a common story. They were a passenger in a vehicle, they were unaware that drugs were present. Their charges in sentencing, simply explaining their circumstances took the edge off the conversation in each incident. I think psychological counseling or talk therapy for young people might save these cities significant funds and direct these youth downed the correct track. A brief word on implicit bias. Theres an interesting technique i discovered to ameliorate it. Simply imagining the individual going about this lives on a daily basis, conscious psychological transposition or playing with metacognition. Ive heard some of the material in socio linguistics as well as government funded texts on methamphetamine entitled the physiology of emotion. They dealt with the principal in this attribution of error and psychological chemistry, so thats what im drawing on. Chair fewer thank you very much. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [inaudible] chair fewer sorry. I would like to make a motion to the full Board Meeting of july 16 with a positive recommendation. Can i have a second . President yee, thank you very much. And drwell take that without objection. Dr. Kcolfax, thank you for beig in agreement with the recommendations. And mr. Controller, will you note that it is the intent of this committee to accept the proposals and report of the b. L. A. Chair fewer human services, would you come up . Human services. So can we have a b. L. A. Report, please. Yes, you may. The departments proposed 1,039,024,619 for fiscal year 1920 is 6. 9 more than the original fiscal year 201819 budget of 971,834,727. The departments proposed 1,062,899,769 budget for fiscal year 2021 is 23,875,152,or 2. 3 more than the mayors proposed fiscal 1920 budget of 1,039,024,617. Our recommended reductions to the proposed budget total 1,977,272 in fiscal year 201920. Of that recommended reductions, 333,219 are ongoing savings, and 1,064,033 are one time savings. This would allow a 6. 7 increase in the departments fiscal year 201920 budget. My understanding is that we have full agreement with the department on our recommendations. Chair fewer mr. Rohrer, what do you say . Trent rohrer, we are in full agreement. Chair fewer mr. Controller, can you please note it is the intention of this committee to accept the agreements between the b. L. A. And this department. Thank you very much. And i believe our sheriff is ready to come back. Sheriff hennesey, and we wouldnt mind mr. Hollings. Crispin hollings. Im glad to report we have agreed to cuts of 250,000 reduction to the budget. I am proud to report that we are in agreement to the 250,000 cut to the service line. Chair fewer thank you. Are we still in agreement with the positions, now . I believe this replaces the positions. Chair fewer okay. Thank you for taking a second look at that. I greatly appreciate it. So mr. Controller, can you please note it is the intention of this committee to accept the recommendations set forth in the agreements set forth between the b. L. A. And also this department. We will, madam clerk, and we understand this to be 250,000 in each of the two years of the budget. Chair fewer is that correct, mr. Hollins . [inaudible] chair fewer okay. And thank you very much. And thanks to the sheriff. Thank you very much. All right. I am going to make a suggestion, that we will now break for lunch oh, can you come back . Yeah, you can. That we take a little break for lunch and also some bioneeds, and so i would ask that we reconvene this committee at 1 15 and i ask that we be prompt because we have several departments coming before us. I see we have several departments before us. Chief, my apologies, but any way, i think we could all appreciate a little break. Thank you very much. Please stand by please stand by please stand by please stand by preston please stand by please stand by please stand by please stand by its a pleasure and honor and a joy to be part of this celebration. When we do these grand openings, theyre celebrations and they are also acknowledge. No one institution can create the Affordable Housing we see here and so i want to begin by asking mayor breed, thanking you for your support and to share a few words. Yep. [laughter] thats it. All right. Wow. Thank you all so much for being here today and im really excited about this project. Especially because i used to serve on the San FranciscoRedevelopment Agency commission and i remember when mission bay was just taking shape in San Francisco and the conversations around the housing that we know would be built here and we fought really hard and because of that fight, 30 of all the new housing will go to support families that are low and middle income residents. Which brings us here today. 143 units of Family Housing and Senior Housing for people who in some cases were displaced long ago. I grew up in the western Edition Community and there were a lot of mistakes in that community. Homes were torn down. Promises were made and no housing was provided for those people and families. In these 143 units, of Affordable Housing, we have 10 certificate of preference holders. Which is absolutely amazing. [applause] when i served on the San Francisco board of supervisors, i was excited to help pass legislation to address a real problem around displacement of residents through either owner movein elections, ellis act evictions and sometimes in the cases of fire. Because of that, we are residents who are asking living here who fit the bill and qualifications and now have a space affordable clean, nice, beautiful things place to call home. Providing Affordable Housing is not providing a place for people to stay. Its about building a community. Its about supporting a community. Making sure there are creditable services that provide resources to the community. Im excited about a26 va lynn see a and well join the ground floor to support young people in this community. This is absolutely amazing and i never get tired of coming to events where we are celebr
