Supervisor kim. Thank you supervisor tang. We did spend the last few weeks conferring with the Sheriffs Department on the Electronic Monitoring Program and initial concern is about requiring payment 125 registration fee, 35 a day for a program that is savey the city money giving the jails are far more expensive than this program and if a individual is eligible and safe to be in the community with monitoring we should make the program free. After discussion we learned that many participants largely waved their fees because they are income eligible and understanding we have this Program Income eligibility that lows fees to be waived and there is a not a Collection Agency when individuals do not participate in the program. I feel comfortable voting for items today but will continue to work with Sheriffs Department and adult probation to make sure we save money when we deemed a individual safe and figure how to continue insure individuals are not prohibited from being in the program because they cannot afford to. Alright. Thank you supervisor kim. So with that if we can do roll call for item 6 and 7. Supervisor tang, aye. Wiener, aye. Yee, aye. Avalos, aye. Breed, aye. Campos, aye. Cohen, aye. Farrell, aye. Kim, aye. Mar, aye. Peskin, aye. 11 ayes. These resolutions are adoped. Item 8 amend it code to authorize to perform public work through best evaluateue process using combination of price and qualifications with bid discount applicable to price. Creation and maintenance of a dat abase. Supervisor wiener. Thank you madam chair, colleagues this legislation is about making sure the taxpayers get quality Infrastructure Construction and work that they deserve. The legislation introducing a new contracting procedure called best value where both cost and bid amount as well as past performance are considered. Best value rewardss the large majority of contractors who do good work for the city, on time and budget and adequate staffing. The legislation maintaining the 10 percent bid discount as we continue to support local business. Legislation requires departments establish objectives and transparent criteria defining best value ue for a project and the criteria be established in a public and transparent way before going out to bid. Given that we currently rely all most exclusively on lowest bid, there is little incentive for contractors to do a a plus job. In fact, right now there is a built in incentive to cut corners for repeated change orders and under staffing and at times walking away from a project before completion. Most contractors do not cut the corn r ers because they want to do a good job and do do a terrific job, some contractors do. Best value is not a new idea. Sit squaez counties in california squu cross the country implemented the system and best value basically means bid price will always be incredibly important a bid could be the lowest price bid and still not be the best value due to change orders or delays or under staffing or not completing the job the costs escalate. We will invest 10 of billions of dollars in the coming decades on infrastructure work in San Francisco. We are engaged in unprecedented Infrastructure Investment in the city on the roads, the sewer and water system and parks and health futilities Public Safety and Transportation System and want to create every incentive for contractors do to the best possible work in the safest and most efficient way. For a large majority of contractors doing a great job this will not have much impact. They will bid and work and all goes well. For the small number of crarkters who are a problem this will allow us to take poor performance and unsafe performance, inappropriate behavior into account when awarding contracts in the future. The civil grand juree and Controllers Office audited public works process and both have come to the same solution, the time has c34 to move towards best value contracting. I want to thank you supervisor breed, tang and [inaudible] also want to thank [inaudible] and my office for their work on the legislation as well as the City Attorneys Office [inaudible] Nicholas King from dpw for working closely with us. I have a small amendment i distributed that i formulated with supervisor peskin to indicate that for very Small Contracts under 1. 5 million best value would not apply. This is in line with other jurisdiction approaches. There is a monetary threshold around a Million Dollars so think this is the appropriate threshold here as well so i ask for your spaurt support with the amendment. Thank you supervisor yee. Thank you supervisor tang. I want to thank supervisor wiener for bringing this forward and happy cosponsor of this particular legislation. I just want to sayalsoill support the amendment of course. I think it is time we actually look at this and do this. What i have seen over and over again when i was on the school board for 8 years, there were contractors many of the contractors actually were doing the work, but there is a percentage of contractors that overand over again somehow get the winning bid and ends up doing a lousy job basically. A lot of times we end up spending more money than any of the highest bidders because of the going back and redoing the work that want done and having somebody come in to take the place of these contractors. Preventing something that could be dejasterous in the long run and feel the city will save money. Thank you. Supervisor avalos. Thank you. Ill switch to english. I think this make as lot of sense, but i actually have heard more from small contractors who have difficulty getting bids rather than the other way around. Im worried that this new structure could create some disadvantage for local business enterprising and with that doubt in mind i think the rational sounds very reasonable, i also thought it is important to consider other factors beside low bid, i dont think enough work has been done to work with our existing system to think the well change the system over on them that will be more incomphensible. I wont support this but understand this ordinance. Supervisor wiener made a motion to the amendment, seconded by supervisor mar and well go to roll call for item 8. Supervisor wiener made the motion and supervisor mar seconded and you took without objection. Supervisor tang, aye. Wiener, aye. Yee, aye. Avalos, no. Breed, aye. Campos, aye. Cohen, aye. Farrell, aye. Kim, aye. Mar, aye. Peskin, aye. 10 aye and 1 no with supervisor avalos. The ordinance is passed on First Reading as amended. Call item 9, please item 9 is ordinance to appropriate 4. 1 million in surplus revenue 20. 6 million from salaries and fringe benefit expenses and appropriate 24. 7 million to over time in the Sheriffs Department, department of Emergency Management, Fire Department, public helt and Public Utilities and Police Department. This requires a 2 3 vote or 8 voters. Supervisor avalos. Thank you. This one is a challenging one for me. I understand that we are not doing appropriation based on general fund reserve, but cost savings within the departments and revenues within the department as with the Fire Department, but it also calls into question the ordinance, why do we have such a large cost savings in the department budgetsment police is 8 million and every year in the budget process we go through trying to finds the surpluses and looks like we not getting the biggest bang for our buck and that process of scrutinizing the budget. I like to ask the harvey rose budget analyst a couple questions. Mr. Rose. Yes, madam president. Thank you for your report. Im actuallyi have been in the budget process many many years, chair the Budget Committee in the past. Last couple years i have not been on the bijt committee but have bean been here every night. There is a time when all the officers are trying to find the Silver Bullet to find magic money and it looks like when we get to the tailened ends of the year we have all this magic money that appears in the department budget. 8 million in the Police Department is a incredible amount of money. Can you summarize by department what we see for cost savings and how those cost savings in the supplemental relate to recommendations that you have made last year in the budget process . President and supervisor achb lose, let me make a general statement and ill respond specifically. Each year when we go before the budget and finance committee we tell the budget and finance committee the recommendations we make for salary, surplus and savings are conservative, reasonable. Departments against that and they consider our remations and what the department says. Historically, the salary savings achieved in the city and county of San Francisco where you have employees totaling 30,000 employees and have a 9 billion budget, there is going to be a lot of attrition and historically that attrition has exceeded both the mayors estimates and budget analyst estimates, so that when we make our recommendations, we try to adhere re to the board policy our recommendation should not Impact Service reduction and that is why we make conservative recommendations but we go fl to the budget and finance committee basically knowing our recommendations will not result in any Service Impacts and the possibility is that the departments will have money left over. Thank you, so every year our budget from our different departments are padded then is what you are saying . Im saying that historically there has been significant savings in excess of those announced we recommended tobe cut from the budget and those amounts are used for supplementals like this as well as used to balance next years budget with the controller takes surplus funds and uses that as a source of funds for next year budget but yes supervisor , i believe there are significant savings and all most every budget i have seen over the years. Last december we had a hearing on the superbowl and tried to ghet a sense of the cost to the city. The city department, Police Department, mta, dph, rec and park and no one could tell what thatual be. In jan we got a figure that appears to be about 4 and 4 and a half million less than the expenditures that happened. There was no line items in the budget of the departments to say what the cost will be for the super bowl but the over time cost were dramatic and increased cost for super bowl were dramatic. I have no choice but to vote for this because if we dont support we scr a hole in the budget related to ovtime but the bigger hole is how to go through the budget process to be much more strong and much less conservative to make cuts in the departments where they cant squirrel away money to make their own initiatives like the super bowl that have huge impacts on every day san franciscans and neighborhoods far from where these avents occur lose out while the neighborhoodss or financial district get a lot of money from tourism and people spending money at these events. This is a clear example where our city is support the top 1 percent. The corporation jz hotel chain jz left our neighborhood said out and feel this stinks to have the vote on this thing. Colleagues any questions, comment, discussion . Seeing none. Supervisor tang, aye. Wiener aye. Yee, aye. Avalos, i change my mind, no. Breed, aye. Campos, aye. Cohen, aye. Farrell, aye. Kim, no.

Please call item 1012. Item 10 is resolution tew prove a lease between city and bank of america for automated teller machines with 365,000 minimum annual guarantee for 5 year term with two year option to extend at discretion. Item 11 approve the least between bank of america for automated teller machines at the international terminal. Supervisor campos. Thank you madam chair. I have a question about item 10. My understanding is that bank of america is a company that is headquarter in North Carolina and i was wondering if there is someone here who can respond to that. If that is a the case i would like to continue this item to our next Board Meeting because i like to know more about what this company has done relative to the antilgbt law that that stay passed. We have taken steps to ban travel to that state and think if we are doing business with a company that is headquarter out of the state there are certain things we need to know about that company. Is there anyone here from the airport . Thank you for raising the issue. I think we have pendsing legislation to ban the city from entering into contracts with companies that are headquartered in states that pass antilgbt hate laws and working through the legislative process now. As i understand it bank of america signed on to a letter and been very vocal against this law. That is what i know, i cant speak for the airport or bank of america, but that is the information that i have. It is all our hope this horrible law is struck down and whipeed off the books sooner rather than later. My understanding isunless i hear anything to the contrary it is North Carolina company and so with that understanding make a motion to continue this item to the next Board Meeting to find out more information about all of those things that have been raised. Madam clerk and supervisor campos, if i may suggest we continue 10 and 11 and not 12 given those are the only 2 concerning bank of america. Second from supervisor peskin and take that without objection to continue 10 and 11. Lets go to roll call for item 12.

Amend the code to require the city to open and operate now fewer than 6 Navigation Centers within 24 months [inaudible] Homeless People and moving Homeless People off the street and into permanent housing or transitional or stable housing which leads through permanent housing through case management. Supervisor campos. Thank you madam chair. Colleagues im going to take a moment to read a part of a email i received from a constituent thrmpt is a large homeless encampment on harrison between 18 and 19. It has grown to a size where it is hard to estimate how many people are there, perhaps a dozen more. Individuals have been there nearly 3 weeks now. They said up cooking areas, they use the street and sidewalk as their bathroom, have bike parts coming and going and tents and tarps. I had to step over bodies to walk on the sidewalk. I walked past a man outside a tent pooring disinfectant over a scab [inaudible] twice its size. The smell of urine permeates the area, is there anything to be done to address that. I read that because im reading email after email hundreds of emails and calls like the one that i just read from my district calling on the city to do something about the issue of street encampments and homelessness. I introduced the ordinance on the expansion of Navigation Centers because i believe i would not be doing my job as district 9 supervisors if i did not try to do something on this issue and specifically to do something to address the encampments that are growing and have grown throughout my district and throughout the city. This is why i introduce this law and this is why i believe that we as a board and as a city need to do everything we can do address this issue. That said, the mayors newly appointed director of our new department on homelessness, jeff [inaudible] approached me yesterday to ask for a continuance of this vote. Let me say this, i had to think hard about this because i do believe that action is needed and action is needed now. I have never the less agreed to a continuance with the understanding that a continuance is out of respect to mr. [inaudible] and his new role to give him a opportunity to get up to speed on the issues implicateed in this legislation, but i want to be very clear, i believe that this legislation as it currently is has struck the right balance in terms of all the conflicting interest and needs the city faces on this issue. Im proud of the amendment that have been made at the suggestion of supervisor peskin and president breed scr others as well as the amendment that come from the people who do this work on the ground so that we are not only addressing the issue of expanding Navigation Centers and addressing the issues with the existing shelter system. I believe this law does that. I take mr. [inaudible] at his word he needs extra time to get acquainted with this piece of legislation and im prepared to do that, but i also am prepared to move the item forward if this becomes about more than that. I believe and say this with all sinterity, that the people of San Francisco, the residents of district 9, the residents of every single district do not want city hall to delay further action. They will not tolerate we push aside the issue for much longer so with that expectation and clear understanding, i hereby make a motion to continue this item to the meeting of june 14 out of respect for the new director of homelessness so i make that motion and ask for your support. Supervisor made a motion to continue to june 14 and supervisor avalos is next. Thank you. I just want to thank supervisor campos for bringing the legislation forward and highlighting the huge concerns that have arisen in your district and i heard a lot from folks as well who are really concerned about the encampments especially along divisadero and a lot are a result of the people moved from the super bowl. There are relationships to other things on the agenda. I want to also thank you for continuing this. I think jeff [inaudible] joining on the Homeless Office is a significant move and think he has been a great person grappling with homelessness and Supportive Housing are a number of years and brings a great deal of expertise and giving him some time to help plan is [inaudible] i appreciate you doing that. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor avalos. There was a motion to continue togeny 14 and take that without objection. The item is continued. Item 19. Item 19, motion to direct the budget and legislative analyst to conduct performance audit of Real Estate Division in 2016. Thank you. If we take this same house same call. Without objection this motion this is motion. We take this motion as approved. Item 20. Item twenz approve the additional of the street name gene compten cafeteria. The contribution of transjendser women. Same house same call. Supervisor kim today i have the honor bringing forward this important memorial for our San Francisco community in particular our Transgender Community. 100 block of Taylor Street is a Historic Site where in 1966 a uprising by transgender women and others in the Lgbt Community stood up to unrelenting injustice protesting against discrimination known as the compten cafeteria riots. A precursor to the lgbt movement. Long haveicated by the cafeteria, today the site is all most empty as a memorial. Only a small plaque exists. This is why i brought forward this resolution to rename the 100 block of Taylor Street to gene compten cafeteria way to commemorate this historic event in our great city. This resolution is especially important in wake the state and local government legislation across the country aimed stripping civil rights from transjndser individuals by creating a permanent memorial site San Francisco can help remember our role in the civil right of transjendser individuals and we must continue to fight there is still a long way to go to acknowledge the bravery of these women who stood up for themselves. Colleagues i do ask you joining me and supporting this historage street signage today and look forward to the unveiling at the end oof transmarch of june this year and want to thank and recognize tremendously fulisha [inaudible] quhoo has been working hard to educate both the board of supervisor jz community about this historic event over the past couple years. Jasmine our transmarch committee, rea, austin and jordan and many others who worked hard to bring this forward and get support from our Wide Community and neighborhood as well. I also want to recognize my casponsors campos, Scotter Wiener and aaron peskin. I look forward seeing you at the unveiling june 24 at transmarch. This is a important part of our history and deserves to be recognized in our community and neighborhoods. Thank you madam chair. I want to thank supervisor kim and her office as well as the members of the community who have moved this important not just commemoration but moment of education forward so that we never forget those who came before us and those who really blazed a trail to make space for the modern lgbt movement and community. As good as things are for the Lgbt Community in certain parts of the country, we know that we have much work to do and we know that in the past so many people suffered because of the incredible discrimination and hatred and stigma and lack of understanding for the 92 n tire Lgbt Community but most specifically towards the transgender brothers and sister and they have taught so much about what it means to stands proud and to fight undur the most difficult and sometimes horrible of circumstances and so this is a very very important moment. I also important reminder that as many strides as we have made as a Lgbt Community and strides transjnder community made we have enormous challenges and hurtles as we have seen in North Carolina and other states there are parts the cuntsry where elected representatives are absolutely happy to try to cut out the entire Lgbt Community and the Transgender Community from the full benefits of rezentially and citizenship. We need to push back unbelievebly hard to defend our community and stick up for our brothers and sisters until we are at a point where lgbt people can live freely and openly with dignity in every scare inch not just of the country but of this world. We must continue to fight. What happened at comptens cafeteria 5 oyears ago was a incredible moment teaching us how to do just that. Thank you. I wont belabor the point, i just want to say as a gay man i want to thank supervisor kim for putting this forward as well as cosponsors supervisor wiener and peskin. Im proud to be a cosponsor. It is amazing how critical a role San Francisco has played in the issue of lgbt rights and hear about certain things and know btd harvey milk and jose [inaudible] but think the compten cafeteria played a Critical Role and preced anything else in the rest of the country and i think we should be very proud of the fact that you had these jnder non conforming transgender queens and kings who played a role in that movement and in that very important occasion and i think it is important to celebrate it and acknowledge it and make sure our young people know about that history, so thank you supervisor kim for doing that. Thank you. Now colleagues if we take that item same house same call. Is supervisor farrell here . Same house same call without objection the resolution is adopted. Committee reports starting with item 27, and considered by the land use and transportation commit emonday may 16 at 130 p. M. And forwardsed as a committee report. Resolution to approve option agreement for potential sale for northern [inaudible] beale howard main and folsom to San Francisco Redevelopment Agency to Transbay Partners for 45 million and make the appropriate findings. Do we have opening remarks from supervisor kim . This is item 27. If we take this same house same call without objection the resolution is adopted. Considered by the rules Committee Thursday may 12 at 11 a. M. And forwarded as a committee record to urge thesuch county Transportation Authority in partner with Mayors Office and sfmta to develop a expenditure plan to specify the use of revenue from a potential new half cent sales tax for transportation for consideration for the november 2016 ballot. Supervisor wiener. Thank you very much and thank you supervisor avalos and mar for their cosponsor ship. This resolution simply moves forward and allows to continue working on half cent transportation sales tax to meet the massive Transportation Needs of the city and region in the coming years and decades. We have billions of dollars in unfunded Capital Needs in the transportation sent squr the mayor convened the transportation 2030 working group a few years ago that came up with a plan to meet the capital gap over a 15 year period included Funding Sources one was a half cents sales tax dedicated to Transportation Needs and so this is a step in that direction in terms of implementing one of the recommendations, one of the key recommendations of the transportation 2030 taskforce. We are continuing to work on this mexer and know there are a lot of conversations and confident it will come to a good report where we move forward with the sales tax for transportation dedicated to transportation with a great expenditure plan to accomplish our goals. Thank you. Thank you. Colleagues if we take that item same house same call. Without objection the resolution is adopted. Supervisor farrell. I like to make a motion to resend the vote. On item 9. That was regarding our expenditures. Seconded by supervisor breed without objection. So, thank you madam chair. I understand the comment made around this item certainly as your chair of the Budget Committee i do not want padding in the budget so look for to robust discussion around some of the items and want to thank supervisor campos because we put together the ordinance that caused the vote to happen a number of years ago and thank you and fl dialogue. I think since we had this vote was work wg City Attorney and our Controllers Office to understand the implication there of and if we do put this forward i know [inaudible] if we vote no these departments including the First Responder departments will not have the ability to offer anymore over time at all. I think that is a dangerous precedents providing Public Safety for our residence, so i would ask my colleagues to reconsider this. I think some of my colleagues expressed a desire to vote separately and approve this for Fire Department and emergency Emergency Management. I may suggest separating the file and voting separately from the other departments and you all have my commitment to work hard on this topic and make sure this isnt a pacts it has been over the past year. Thank you, supervisor campos. I feel conflicted about this to be honest. The reason supervisor farrell and i introduced the ordinance that brought us to this point is because we had a situation where over time was out of control and kapartments were basically increasing over time without oversight from the board and so the idea is they have to knh to the board before they increase over time. Of course, the intent was never to have the d apartments respond to that by essentially providing padded budgets. Basically knowing they were asking for more than they needed as a way of actually circumventingi agree that we dont want to hurt especially First Responders and their ability to respond but i also feel likei think First Responders some of the departments because they are first respondser in my view havent taken this ishee of over time seriously and will point to the Fire Department as a example. In my district the Fire Department has a challenge because we have in the mission all these fires and not really a satisfactory response from the Fire Department so im not prepared to change my vote until there is concrete action to address the point so ill stick with my no for the time being. Supervisor avalos. Thank you. In the heat of the moment i wanted toi failed to express the nuance i wanted to express. I went through each of the departments and when it came to department of Emergency Management that incured 18 resignations, im not sure what that was about but seems it was a unspected expense the department of Emergency Management had to go through that resulted in increase och over time use age. I was prepared to make an amendment or allow approval of the dem portion of this supplemental appropriation. I also felt the Fire Department is one i could let go as well and that is because we saw there was a uptick in Emergency Response and also the source of fundsing is not within the Salary Budget but unspected rev news for the Fire Department. The Fire Department we have been hiring or approving fire classes but not to necessarily move down the use of the over time. It has been a policy in San Francisco to use fire over time and hiring new fire fighters. I know that we just started to approve new classes but dont think we have gotten to the sweet spot having sufficient staffing that keep over time costs down, so im okay with approving the portion of the supplemental for dem and the Fire Department. When it come tooz the Police Department i feel my position is still the same. The budget around salary savings was padded and the committee did want do enough to scute synchronize the budget and find cost savings. I worked with department of Public Health. Their cost in over time resulted in not hiring enough staff. I had two hearings in the past couple years at the bumgt and finance committee about hiring practices within department of Public Health relative to Emergency Hospital that is now being rebuilt or about to open and i really feel that where got a lot of lip service from department of Public Health how earnest they are about hiring hospital staff so im not prepared to approve the over time expenditure for the department of Public Health. We also have the Sheriff Department, the Sheriff Department actually had these positions not hired. They had fte positions approved money in the Budget Approved but didnt hire enough staff therefore therefore they had to use over time and trying to move salary staff funds to cover the over time. I think they just need to hire the staff they need rather than use more over time. For those 3 departments, i would vote against or support a continuance but for me i can go forward with dem and fire on this supplemental. Thank you. Supervisor wiener. Thank you and glad we are having a opportunity to further discussion on this. I would actually and appreciate supervisor avalos acknowledging that over time results from various causes and not all of them are nefarious. The Fire Department required to mandstory over time. We are restafing but that will take time. The departmentf oEmergency Management is tearbly under staffed and had problemwise people on stress needs and other needs and challenges with staffing and that means sometimes when people call the Police Non Emergency number or 911, they have to wait longer than they should because there are not enough emergency dispatchers so appreciate the recognition for dem and Fire Department. What is happening is not at all inappropriate t is what is necessary under the circumstances to run these critically important Public Safety departments. I would like to know for other departments for example for the Police Department and department of Public Health, what is the ram fiication on the street in real life for the communities if we dont approve this and when that will take effect . We know the Police Department is under staffed and officers work over time because we simp ledo not have enough Police Officers to walk beats. Department Public Health a important frontline department as well. I would like to know what will be the real life in the neighborhood, in the Nun Community ramifications not approving and when will that take effect. I think that is Important Information. I dont know if there is anyone from the executive branch who can provide that. Mayor lees office. Happy to have the budget director speak to the item if you would like to continue to later in the meeting so she can address the question after being advised by the City Attorney. Later in the meeting today . Yes. Okay. Lets go to supervisor cohen. Thank you. I was going to suggest we get answers from the budget drether herself. Im concerned if we are deal wg Department Heads padding the budget to accommodate over time that is something we should be concerned about. Supervisor avalos im supportive of your superating out dem and fire and think it is important for us to look at what sfpd is doing with their particular budget. Im not sure how i will vote when it comes to sfpd because im uncomfortable potentially compromiseing over Time Staffing levels that are needed on the streets inside district 10 so just wanted to be open where i am on this vote. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor campos. Thank you. I am open to the suggestion supervisor avalos made on fire and Emergency Management. On the police, i actually think we need more information on that because one of the questions that actually comes up with police is actually the issue of how we are deploying the staffing we do have. I think there are legitimate concerns it isnt just hiring more Police Officers but how we deploy the officers, how many days are they working . I think that is something we need to do, need to look at before we start hiring more and the second point is the issue of civilianization. How many officers are actually doing jobs, desk jobs that should be done by civilians, so could we get more staffing insome of those officers were sent out to walk beat instead of being behind a desk. Im not prepared to change a vote on policing, i think we stim have more information on that. Supervisor avalos. The Police Department over time spending flux waited wildly over the past 10 years. In 2008, 9, the year i got here and board of supervisors their ovtime budget was about 22 million and through the budget process in 2009, 2010 for that fiscal year we brought it down to 12 million and didnt seek more money that year and brought it down to about 10 Million Dollar in 1011 and started going up to 14 million and 19 19 million and now it is another 19 million and this supplemental and salary savings of people not hired or who salaries are not paid for, is just like a back door way of increase the ovtime budget and more than anything we need to make sure that we tap down on the budget to make sure it isnt abused and do proper deployment rather than just give agblank check for the department to deploy however they want to and over time is the way to make that stick. Thank you. So, at this time then i think i heard a suggestion to continue item 9 to later in the meeting with more information so well do that without objection. Now if i have seen correctly i believe public works staff returned. Prapsh we can go back to item 25 and 26 and have public works staff come up and explain what transpired if you reached an agreement with some of the members of the public who are here today. Public works staff, please. Representing San Francisco public works. We conferred with the Property Owners and have 2 property locations we removed from the list of 63 praurptds. The locations removed are 411 grant avenue and 999 laguna street. Ookay. You had a chance to speak to everyone here from the public . Yes. Colleagues questions or comments from staff . Seeing none any objections to accepting the amendment to the the assessment report described by the department . Seeing none, lets take same house same call. Without objection. Thank you very much. Madam clerk if we can go to our next item please and believe that is roll call. Supervirez wiener you are the first to introduce new business. Thank you very much madam chair. Colleagues today im introducing legislation to close a very glaring what should have been glaring and surprising poll in our rent ordinance and specifically the fact that people tenets who have federal rent subsidy vouchers from the housing opportunities for persons with aids federal Subsidy Program do not have rent control protection. Rathe now if you are one of the several hundred [inaudible] federal subsidy recipients and these are low income people with hiv, largely seniors, if you have a [inaudible] subsidy your landlord can raise your rent to market. You do not have rent control protections. This is something we discovered recently and no one appears to have been aware of it. When yelearned of it everyone was surprised. The Advocacy Community was surprised and we were surprised and no one knew about this. We still dont know why the ordinance was drafted this way to exclude [inaudible] from rent protection but need to very quickly close this loop hole. We know we have many long term survivorers of hiv libing in San Francisco, people who are aging and people who have gauchb to hell and back who suffer mental trauma from their own health roller coster as well as lost a sig cnts amount of their social circle. They cant afford to pay higher rent. We dont need several hundred long term hiv survivors in San Francisco become housing unstable and perhaps homeless. This legislation closes that loop hole, extends rent control effective today to [inaudible] subsidy recipient. I want to thank supervisor campos and breed for their cosponsorships and also want to thank the aids Legal Referral Panel for bill [inaudible] and jamie rush working with us on this legislation and colleagues look forward to moving this quickly to the board and to gaining your support and thank you supervisor cohen for adding your name as cosponsor.

Why invest millions in a single vehicle when you can have the same capacity across 10 or more robo cars with no cost for [inaudible] to pay for the damage caused by careless humans. I mentioned this scenario before. Earlier this year climate aulgist expressed alarm at the melting of the Greenland Ice sheet of fresh water flushed into the north atlantic. I mentioned this before. In the past, [inaudible] validated by characterization of your bahavior at managerial class negligent when she could not bring herself to view the violent consequences of failed supervision. Wiener offered sacrifice to avoid adding to the damage he has done to the future of our city and county but that didnt happen. That was a day dream. He did admit his housing policy is a failure and his transportation policy was and is a failure and i certainly mentioned that before. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon supervisors.

It was 31 in 2014 and 31 in twen 15.

Marijuana is a illegal circculted on california street and now it is prescribed by physicians to provide comfort those in pain. Unfortunately our youths have access to the drugs. As long as i can remember under the influence of any narcotic that reduce drowsyness or impair judgment strongly caution not to operate heavy machinery. Heavy machinery includes vehicles. It should bow mandated all physicians prescribing any narcotic to a patient be required to submit that patients Contact Information to department of motic vehicle who subpened that drivering priskologs in tul they are no longer in need having a use of prescribes narcotic for their medical condition. This would reduce putting the public and Pedestrian Safety at risk. No one should be able to drive a vehicle smoking marijuana. Any one stop by sfpd driving under suspeneded license for vehicle code book the police have the right to remove the license plaitfrom the vehicle if registered to him and her and impound the vehicle. Thank you very much. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon my name is jolaunda jackson executive director of general council. What does [inaudible] it is our mission to promote humanity and provide Legal Service to disadvantage and under served individuals in San Francisco. The purpose im speaking of is resolution before you that has to do with Adequate Funding for dependency counsel for children largely in foster cay. We believe this issue is important to insure justice and serve the vulnerable in the community. [inaudible] workwise supervisor cohen on this resolution and want to thank her and her staff for all their hard work to get the resolution forward. Week whael important is the fact that the state has a mandate to meet the obligations under the law which states children in temporary custody of the Juvenile Court shall have counsel appointed to them by the court or paincht or guardian if it determined they cannot afford a attorney. Due to inadequate fupding to pay for attorneys to provide service there is a risk of organizations and programs closing their doors and no longer offering the services to children and parent. Praths lawyers are walking way. There is the Racial Disparity issue and it is large in San Francisco. In San Francisco the number of African American children in foster care is 10 times that of the African American population in the city. This disproportionality is highest in San Francisco, it is issue all over the country. Alow me to put one final point on what is troubling in San Francisco alone. In 2015 our the speakers time concluded. May i request to finish the last sentence . In twnt 15 San Francisco Dependency Court served over 2100 yuthd, 580 were new entries into the the court system cht 47 percent of people in San Francisco Dependency Court are African American against a 5. 8 percent population of African Americans in San Francisco. That is a huge huge disparity. It is really troublelingism from 2010 to 2015 funding for the program decreased by 747 thousand with 500 thousand slated to be cut for next year. If this happens children and their parent will not have attorneys to represent them while at risk not having a home to live in and this board should be applauded for considering taking the message on to snd the message to sacramento for San Francisco. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is nancy davis and a judge who is assigned to heardeepancy cases in superior court of San Francisco. I have been in the court since january 2013 and while it wasnt an assignment i sought i found to be the most rewarding and heart wrenching. Our staff in every division the court come to believe dependency is the most consquential work the called upon to undertake. What is more important than children and families. Every day i and my colleagues on the dependency bench throughout california must make decision that have a efoket on childrens and families. A child at risk they should be premoved from a home, have parent made progress so the children can be returned to them and famry reunified. If they havent made progress should they be given more time to do so or services terminated now and permanent plan in place that addresses the best interest the child be it long term foster care, legal guardnenship or adoption. If adoption is the recommendation judges are called to decide whether the parent child relationship is permanently severed. In more than 13 years on the bench i made no more consentialal decision than that of terminated a mother orfathers rights. I dependent on the experience and talented attorneys to provide with the nrgz i need to make the best decisions i can. As one noted, additional decisions are only as good as the evident that informs those evidence. When attorneys dont have time and resources to conduct investigation the system fails. We are judge, nancy recollect thank you for being here and appreciate your comments. Could you finish with your remarks . I will. We appreciate 24 dedicated speerns dependancy attorneys who provide superior representation for our children and families who come brf the court. We need assistance of these attorneys paid far too little for far too long and result is deparchier and reduce positive outcomes for children i families. I urge you to help us avoid the crisis by supporting the resolution before you. Thank you for your consideration. Thank you, judge davis. Next speakers. Good afternoon. My name is jill [inaudible] president the board of directors and founder of San Francisco council for families and children. ACourt Appointed attorney practice in the city for 15 years until this past year when i had to find other work. Decades San Francisco has committed to cultivated a culture of excellence representing parents and children. Attorneys in the feeltd face daunting tasks every day charged with interviewing children, making independent decisions and investigates and putting on evidence regarding potentially false yet sustained allegations from child protective service. The public can understand the quality of a criminal defense attorney makes the difference between a persons freedom and incarceration it is true a juveinate dependancy attorney is the difference between remaining a dangerous home vairmt and plucked out of their home, family and culture forever. In either direction is serious and have consequences that indur a family for generations. A few week uzgo this body voted to fund attorneys for legal representation for children and fam plaez who have unknown horrors of countries of origin to insure they have adequate legal representation. Today we are talking about the silent crisis of our own children. Families who lived here for generations. The right of physical safety and family integrity cannot be infringed on due to cost. San francisco has a moral responsibility to support and protect our children and parents. I urge you to pass this resolution to support full funding for dependancy council or no futher cuts to the system be taken. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is bonny gordon and license clinical social worker. I am here to speak in favor the resolution supporting fund frg dependancy council. I work for hsa as [inaudible] and retired in 2009. While i was there i found it helpful and critical to have assistance och attorneys. Most of the client are people of color who live in poverty and too over welled to advocate for themselves. Cps a bogged down by laws and regulation andpologist and procedures thmpt social workers work hard to help families and children but their hands are often tied by the option available. One of my clients a 16 year old native american boy diagnosed with schizophrenia was unable to be stabilized in the highest level of treatment. With the hetch of his attorney he was place with a therapist Foster Parent with Shady Service for additional support. While in that home the boy was able to graduate high school and learn independent living skills. In other case where i served as private social worker the mothers attorney requested a provide therapeutic visitation. The mother and daughter hadnt seen each other once in the 4 weeks since the childs removal because hsa had a contract with a agency that wouldnt be able to provide visitation for ast least a month after that. Wesearch in childcare has shown visitation is the [inaudible] that agency never did provide therapeutic visitation but because the visitation is more flexible it was much more flexibility. Thank you, next speaker. Good afternoon board orphpr visors. [inaudible] i oversee operations for unified family court in San Francisco. Im not speaking on behalf of the court but a native ofsuch and citizen. Im not going to restate what is stated by my colleagues and my friends, i want to talk about the simplistic realization what we are all aware of, the availability of affordable Legal Assistance for the middle class is often illusion and access for those at the bottom of the economic latter is viewed as a luxury out of reach. As a result, individuals facing crisis that may effect everything from their ability to earn to the right to care for their children find themselves required to navigate a legal system that is largely designed by lawyers, judges or policy makers. Or even worse, spanned outside the system ignoreant or intim naidated by the first steps they need to take to avail to the services that can help them or their families. The inability of some individuals tew fords Legal Assistance is not a recent phenomenon and not unique to San Francisco. The need for our commitment and creativity to come together as a gruch has never been greater. As a citizen i urge you to reach out to your colleagues at the senate and governors office. The ask is simple, urge your constituents for funding to adequately meet the needs the program to insure the families and children have proper representation by adequate attorneys who are trained. Sometimes the only person that is their thank you. Next speaker, please. Thank you. Good afternoon members of the board. Abgal [inaudible] exponent tev director for Legal Service for children. The foster care in San Francisco is a system in crisis. One of the little known or spoken about impacts of the housing crisis is not only so many families are because of that crisis unable to remain toorkt but our clinelts end up in foster care are placed all over the bay area and beyond, tur lock, modesto and sacramento. This is not a time where wh we can afford to have less fund frg attorneys for these children. Many of you were here about a year and a half ago when i spoke on behalf of funding for imgranlt children and the board provided funding for the service in recognition the children needs attorneys because of what is at stake and say for our children in foster care equally enormous issueerize at stake. Thank you for the resolution and thank you for your support and advocacy in sacramento to make sure the Program Remains fully funded. Thank you, next speaker good afternoon. My name is [inaudible] and im here today on behalf of evea pat rtion and equal justice society. Evea sends regards and like to know how strongly she supports the resolution. The goal of [inaudible] is transform the nations conssness on race. As evea explains more eloquently than i, the approach is bring unconscious bias to the sur 23s to address Racial Discrimination honestly and directly. You heard speakers site similar data contained in the resolution about how dispro portioninate the numbers are for African American [inaudible] you also read how the vast majority of these cases are negligence cases not abuse. The allegationerize most often related to poverty in terms of lack of stable housing, childcare and Mental Health service and lack of resources. The second thing we know is this sadiscretionary category allows broad room for individual opinion judgment and bias to enter into Decision Making on every level of the system. Social science teaches we have these bias and the best intention of people can act unknowingly on our byssus and prejudice just below the surface. We see we are discretionary categories are deployed rather than suspending children or accusing mothers of inglect. The reason of the resolution is so important high quality attorneys are one of the very best safe gaurds against the bias in the Child Welfare system. Good afternoon. My name is sharon meadows and a professor at the university of San Francisco school of law and director of the criminal and juvenile justice clining and Racial Justice clinic. Im here to thank you for the resolution. It is extremely important. I want to just explain there is a consequences that this funding dependancy council or not fully funding dependancy council is the effect it has on the derink waes system. Many kids we represent in derink waes come from the dependancy system and dont know if any oyou had the opportunity to go tupe the youth guidancesenter called the Juvenile Justice Center to the waiting room and wait for their cases to be call by they are by far mostly African American kids. The cis proportionality is talked about but that is relate today the disproportionality in dependancy court. Having works for 26 years running this clinic i have come to know what the goodwho is a good dependancy attorney and the difference they can make in terms of steering the children out of dependancy, finding good alternatives to foster care and to helping navigate the children out of is and keeping them out of delinquency. It can have an effect on a chile forever including a strike and sur veer impact on a kids life so thank you for this resolution and urge your support for it. Thank you. Thank you professor meadows. Next speakerism jennifer [inaudible] long time district 2 redant. I have been the coordinator of San Francisco Family Treatment Court since it begain 9 years ago. We bring social workers case managers, treatment providers and dependancy attorneys to helpparence reunify with their children and get the support they need. Such dependancy attorneys are a essential part of our team. They share knowledge of law and inshurure participants Due Process Rights are protected at all times. Families navigating the process feels like a vast and lonely wilderness. As information slows to the core prepare to make decisions with implication our experience dependancy attorneys make sure each parents voice is heard each choilds interest is appropriately represented and the mandate right to Effective Council is met. The dedicated group of attorneys dchd or basic right of human beings. Parents right to the support we need to raise our children and childrens roit to be raised in safe, loving and nurtureing homes. They do this on behamp of the cities mostvulnerability families. Protecting children and keeping Families Together is hard work. It is tireless and thankless yet the attorneys rise to thuication every day. Is privilege to speak in spofert San Franciscos attorneys today and urge you to support in favor of the resolution and do anything in your power to make sure dependancy attorneys remain viable. Our fellow san franciscans deserve thank you, next speaker, please. Holeo, my name is patricia seal and San Francisco juvenile dependancy panel attorney. I have been for the last 14 years. Some checked your inbox you will have read a letter i sent to each yesterday so i wont read that out loud. It does contain very Important Information but the financial implication of had budget the budget ax that has fall on the panel and across the street. While im here today is we had asked for comments from some of our clients. My clients mostly are kids and not coming. But i do have a letter from two parents that they asked me to read to you today. To the San Francisco board of supervisors, our names are neal and glen. 4 years ago we decided to adopt. While in the foster adopt licensing process it become evident my partners nephews would soon be seeking new homes as their parent were struggling in many aspects of their lives, this is when the attorneys came into the picture. The process can be ovwellming adopting. We had numerous phone conversation squz melt with the minors attorney inform how the parent are doing, making sure our children receive the services they needed to and kept the adoption process on track throughout the dependancy process which runs parallel. The boys were living in the double rock area of San Francisco subject to many bad and hurtful actions in the early years. They saw things including the shooting death of a neighbor and arrest of their mother. Things we cant imagine seeing in our own youth. As a result i like to ask if the speaker can continue. Thank you. As a result the children had issues in school but are responding well to therapy which is a area the lawyer helped facilitate. There were many tifenls we had questions and concerned and would pick up the phone and the lawyer would be there. After the adoption there were times we couldnt get in touch a social worker or case issue and know one call to the lawyered with get the issues taken care of quickly. It is very trouble to us to see the childrens attorney and others havent had a pay raise in over 10 years and more troubleling they have not been offered benefits and facing another pay cut. These attorneys do what they do because they are effected by what these children go through and fight for their best interest often working in dangerous environments. We are sorry we couldnt make it today as we work full time. In order to raise the children in a warm and loving home we could not have gone through the process without the guidance of the lawyer. Neal and glean. Madam clerk and members i apology we have to do this but we will have to take a pause with Public Comment at the moment and go back to iletm 9 on our ajnda. You may remember your places in line as we deal with item 9 because we have two members of the board who have to leave our meeting very shortly and so we do want to address the issue before we lose our members. With that, perhaps i will go to supervisor farrell first. Sorry, supervisor avalos or farrell. Supervisor farrell thank you. I think well pick up where we left off. There were corrections for the mayors budget director for the implication what might happen if we pass this or dont pass this today and think there is sentiment from supervisor avalos to separate fire and dm and pass that through separately. Supervisor if you want to do that first we can do that or have a separate discussion. Thank you, i would like to separate out fire and rks dem. I also did hear from the Sheriffs Department that the sheriff had had requisitions boxed for there past 4 years and that is whey they have not been able to achieve their hiring goals, so i could also consider adding sheriff there as well, but dont want to move forward on dph and Police Department and i know there is a lot of politics play would the Sheriffs Department over the past 4 year jz to me it makes sense given that i am okay to add to my motion the Sheriff Department, dpm and fire to go forward. Thank you and did we need any explanation for our mayor Budget Office . Maybe we can separate out the vote. Separate the question and vote first on fire, dpm and sheriff. Is there is a second. . Seconded by supervisor cohen. Take that without objection. Did you want to have clarification from the Mayors Office or take a vote on that . Take a vote first. Now we are going to do a roll call vote for the divided item which is fire, dpm and sheriff to the sth chair, only the fire requires 8 votes. Pr visor tang. Aye. Wiener, aye. Yee, aye. Avalos, no.

Thank you for passing the ones you passed throughout today so the supplemental is moving pluny one place to the other. I have concerns not moving forward for public of health and [inaudible] because the numbererize large it would have a impact on the day to day service. I dont know what it will mean but think the impacts will be serious and the police deparchlt is very large so worried about their ability to provide service through the rest of the year if they didnt have the puny moved from one place to the other. Colleagues any questions or comments . Seeing none, is there any sort of suggestion, motion on the remainder of the item . I like a motion to vote on the item. I think from my perspective i understand my colleagues comments i think that it is instructive how well handsal things but like to see the item move forward today if there are votes andbecause i believe the implication in Public Safety departments.

I live and work in San Francisco and resident of the tenderloin. I work at Public Defenders Office i began as a attorney representing children and youth in the dependancy system in San Francisco. When i share with friends and family i work with foster yuket the reaction is surprise and say there are foster youth in San Francisco. Im here to share how this invisible and vulnerable population and families will be underserved by insufficient funding. I cant stress the importance of have agstrong advocate for youth and families. We have partnered with dependancy council to insure youth wremain [inaudible] we far too many foster youth cross into the delink waens system and to keep them served is crucial. Attorneys facilitate collaboration to insure client receive appropriate services such as housing, Mental Health support and family counseling. In sour experience families of color and poor families are impacted by the Child Welfare system in San Francisco and strong advocacy protects against the Unfair Division of black and brown families in the city. The state created the right to council in dependancy proceedings for children and parents yet this right a hollow promise if it is not funded. Experience and dedicated council who know the clients and advocate for their needs should not be a luxury and we should insure the most Vulnerable Children and families in San Francisco a represented in depancy proceedings. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon. [inaudible] im exectesk director of San Francisco [inaudible] 25 years of service to children and namlies the foster care system come to the realization budget cuts to dependancy council over the past 6 years give rise to incidence a attorney must choose providing compitant effective representation and adherence to a brujt that grows more immoral every year. More than 60 percent in foster care are African American and 90 percent from poverty. When the right to council is compromised the short and long term effects are catastrophic. High case leads for council [inaudible] issue oof race, poverty and equity [inaudible] she has provided consistants and highly skilled representation to her clients. Over the course of 3 years the attorney represented the [inaudible] group through 7 changes in social workers. 4 placement changes.

These clients faced more trauma in the short lives than most with question the attorney contribution on behalf of the children has been significant. San francisco [inaudible] urges the board to pass the resolution urging legislator counsel and Governor Brown to fund at 80 million. [inaudible] representing the Foster Youth Services coordinating program with San Francisco Unified School District and work with dependancy attorneys promoting positive edge caigal outcome for student in foster care. Dependancy attorneys are integral for advocating. Crucial partners for advocating for educational right of foster youth, in particular they are involved supporting School Stability that foster youth deent have to change schools if they move. Research has shown educational outcomes improve when there is School Stability. They work insureing a educational right holder is aopponented and available to oversee the Educational Needs of youth in foster care. In addition they support behavioral and special Education Needs of the clients through participation in schools. Our dependancy attorneys are important partners and support thais efforts. Thank you.
