We took a look at it and the work that theyve done on this house is just extraordinary. Its a beautiful home. It has a lot of history. I know that it requires a lot of care to take care of. A home of this nature. As i drive pass this area almost everyday, there are hundreds of tourist constantly in this area taking photographs of these homes which this from my understanding is the original painted lady which thing a architecture of architects of all the painted ladies.

Its the hearing to receive updates from various city department, coin takenned in the 20142015 civil grand jury report entitled office of the assessor recorder. I believe january sis and gnatty from the city grand jury are here to present. Thats fine, thank you. I have a presentation. I also have hard copies with me. Sfgov tv, we have a presentation. Good morning members. My name is edward m im here on behalf of the office of the assessor recorder. I like to outline a little bit how we got here today and our office involvement. Thank you for hearing this item. Thank you to civil grand jury for their work on the report. We begin working on this item with the civil grand jury in december of 2014. The first half of the year, we coordinated with them on interviews as well as provided them with data and reports for their report that was published in may 2015. Included in those interviews were assessor recorder and myself along with some of our chief appraisers on staff. In august of this year, we provided a response to that report and provided a response to the findings and recommendations to the civil grand jurys report. In september, i came before you and presented on those findings. Shortly there after, we presented a report, a status report on our workload and staffing case load analysis to the board of supervisors and the civil grand jury a few weeks after the initial hearing. Which was requested the report was requested by the board. Here we are today and im going to be doing a presentation on updating some of the numbers that we presented to you in october via email. Before you get into that, i wanted to take a moment to paint a broader picture of what our office has done in support the numbers i will be presented today. When considering our office is responsible for generating one third of the general fund revenue, we feel when the office does well, the city and county of San Francisco does well. Our office had been proactive going to the board of supervisors and advocating for the needs. We are thankful to the board and mayor for approving our most recent budget. Approving our 22 million general fund budget. Because of the support and approving of this budget, weve been able to implement a number of new procedures, better efficiencies as well as some projects that help and speak to the overall productivity of our office. An example of the efficiencies that you all had a hand in and weve worked on implementing is multiple listing service. Its an online tool that provides our staff with the most up to date Information Available on changes in ownership. We came to you to the board to have this item passed. We were able to do our work better. In addition, when we talk about some of the projects that were implemented, that help put our office on stable firm ground Going Forward, weve launched the project of taking our 206,000 copies and bringing them online. What i mean by that, is making them accessible to our staff at their computer. Currently if you are to look for a hard copy files or Historical Information on a property, our staff has to get up, go into another room, search through a whole file, a whole room of files, looking for that particular property, getting that hard copy file and bringing it back to their desk. The purse of this is not only to make it easier and more efficient for staff but also to make our documents, Historical Records more safe and secure Going Forward. With that being said, i wanted to turn your attention to the presentation. Of course, as a followup, this is a refinement of the data that we emailed to the board in october. Moving into slide one, which is the staffing analysis and case load assumptions. Number one, the volume of incoming items for changes in ownership and new construction will remain on the same level as a prior two fiscal years. Number two, the types of incoming items into our office will continue to be the same as fiscal year 14 and 15. The total number of cases worked will stay the same for the projected years. Bullet number four, we assume that our Staffing Levels will be current capacity, as well as new positions approved in the 1 5 16 budget. Next slide sum recognizes our suspected case load for this year. I want to draw your attention to the first highlighted line of total case load. Because, these are the total case loads that we have in our work cue due to outstanding and new cases beginning every year. Its around over the span of currently 15 and 16 around 30,000. The next line is net outstanding. Which is the last line. Which a that number is the items of worked cases in our office. If you look through fiscal year 15 and 16 we have a total of 29,000 cases. Next slide which is the projected outstanding levels. The purpose of the slide is to pull your attention to the total case load. It outlines what the projected changes in ownership and new construction outstanding would be. Youll see over the span of june 2015 to june 2018 theres a slight decline in the number of items well have outstanding. Going to the next slide, which is the assessment appeals board. You are aware that the assessment appeals board is outside of our purview. This is something that is overseen by the board of supervisors. With that being said, i do want to take a minute and call out the board staff. Angela the clerk of the board and her staff. Theyve done great work and coordinating with office to make sure that we have as much information and Data Available on a timely manner. Because of that, we feel Going Forward, this is something thats new, well put both of our departments in a better footing for years to come. With that being said in particular on this slide, i like you to look at the chart, youll see in 20132014, the total number of cases filed was 5051. In 2014 and 2015 in number dropped. That is a 64 decline. Then id also like to call your attention to the number of open items. In 2013 and 2014, we have a total of 6279 that open cases still after being filed and closed. In 14 and 15 we had a total of 4126 cases that were open as of june 30th. Theres a decline of 34 . That concludes the presentation portion of the slide that you have in front of bu you. I wanted to take a minute and explain that the case loads items that were looking at, its not something that happened overnight and its not something that can be solved overnight. Its something were very dedicated to working on. Theres no magic ball to figure out the solution because a lot of the work that we do is determined by market forces. There is a number of construction thats taking place in the city. Theres a very popular San Francisco is a popular place to buy property. This all contributes to the work that comes into our office. We feel that the approach in solving this will take createty, will include thoughtfulness and also laying out a realistic goals and obtainable goals. With that, i conclude my presentation and be happy to answer any questions. I like to say thank you to the board of supervisors and this committee for their work and the civil grand jury, thank you for your work as well. I have a quick question for you, the staffing analysis and case load projections, it seems like what im seeing is basically case load projections. Theres no staffing analysis addressing in this particular report. Sure. The staffing analysis is something we provided in october to the board. I believe its in your packet. I can pull it up. Call your attention to the bottom chart which includes staffing analysis. These numbers havent really changed from the last time that we presented in front of you. Or the last time we communicated with the board and staff around this item. We did not include it because the
