Thank you, madam clerk first, i want to thank supervisor president london breed for transferring this legislation so it can be heard timely to make a difference to the folks in center aisle a devastating earthquake happened in august thousand dollars were displaced and, of course, we remember that 1989 about the Lottas Fountain earthquake in San Francisco folks and cities and countries from around the world responded including the nation state of italy and what comes around going around i hope we can show our sorry and try to be helpful by appropriately one hundred thousand dollars through our to our department of Emergency Management for them to provide appropriate relief to earthquake victims in italy we received a bit of Public Comment at the full board of supervisors earlier had week so ill ask folks given the length of our agenda and all the civilly grand jury report they dont need but well obviously open up for Public Comment supervisor breed thank you supervisor cohens unfortunately im not going to be able to report this particular item i appreciate the sentiment i think this is the kind of support that should be done with private dollars and at this time i wouldnt be able to support it but appreciate our sentiment in trying to be supportive of thirty the folks experiencing this tragedy. Thank you. Thank you supervisor yee. Thank you chair peskin i als also appreciate your reason for wanting to do this and i guess im i have a lot of questions around this mainly it seems like a more logical thing to ask the u. S. Government to support their efforts in italy rather than the city entity and im not sure if we ever done this before where we actually as a city make donations to a country that is going to throw some terrible issues im thinking of more recent ones like a. D. I dont know what weve done more them. Thank you for that question supervisor yee as a matter of fact the funds the city received in the 1989 Lottas Fountain earthquake a long proud tradition of the city and county of San Francisco making traditions in 1989, 200 and 50,000 for taipei and 2000 one of the board of supervisors appropriated one hundred thousand dollars for similar earthquake relief and substantially appropriately one hundred thousand dollars for the American CouncilsEarthquake Relief Fund there is a long proud history of doing this time have been good in San Francisco we have a proud italian heritage in San Francisco and im saying that on the eve of the italian parade it is my respect request it perhaps colleagues, we consider sending this to the full board without a positive recommendation any Public Comment on matter seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor president london breed will that be okay with a roll call without objection well sends this matter supervisor yee without a positive recommendation to the full board without a positive recommendation to the full board without objection thats the call madam clerk read the next item. Item number two the administrative code to reflect is changes in job classifications okay. This is brought to us by the human resources. Supervisor peskin im susan the Employee Relations director before you a fairly brief matter we bring to you on a periodic basin ordinance for the amending the administrative code this is the area of the administrative code that establishing the bargaining unit for the city and county and specification the classifications within each bargaining unit on ann an annual basis all the classifications and classifications that are moving from an unrepresented status to a bargaining unit the item before you this morning. Thank you for that i noticed as i was reading a number of new classifications mostly in the trade for apprenticeships can you talk about the history and backward. Yes. Weve been working to create in any apprenticeship programs to help bring new untrained labor into the trades and so this is an area of increased focus for the department we weve been working with the bargaining unit to expand those programs and then owe noticed on page thirty a new classification for recreation assistance what is that. Let me just check one thing. I actually need to ill have to get back with you and dont have the backward on that classification specifically and he can get back to you. Well delay this to further in the meeting and im interested just to understand whether or not that is part of a a changing Management Structure within the rec and Park Department because number of years ago between my terms on the board of supervisors there was some amount of controversy on the eliminations of recreation directors i want to understand so we know what were looking at for how to fits in and on page 15 special examiner what is that . Sounds like it could be just about anything. 12, 29 special examiner bargaining unit number 8. I can get you background that is on existing classification previously urban represented and were moving that into bargaining unit 8 with local 21 not a new one. A local 21st rep i get it. How did we think i might know the tort it is your duty history of the affirmation by page 20 the eliminations of the position classifications. Ill have to get back with you information on that as well. On page 11 a distinct recollection maybe ms. Campbell reminds at 13479 the board of supervisors eliminated 9 classification of planner 5 but thats by the way, didnt show as a new classification i just thought to classification disappeared a decade agree ago it is possible it came back. Ill have to get back with you and on page 87 im sorry let me find this on page 7 the 1849 manager and Economic Development position do you know what that is . I did not have it it is another one of the unrepresented classification were moving into a bargaining unit this is like i said moving if unrepresented to bargaining unit 7 with local 21 so we remember back this this year i and received the unrepresented classifications we felt belonged with the existing bargaining united the item before you in this packet and this position included is 14 of these classifies were profiling u. S. Bancorp represented and now moving into bargaining unit that represents three hundred and 44 employees. So does that mean or mean in certain cases theyre going from the exempt to nonexempt status. Not necessarily that doesnt necessarily change this is really from unrepresented status to represented a status. Do you know how many 1849 there are. Yes. I do. How many. Actually right now on my list none existing in that classification so currently there are zero no employees in that craze been an existing classification if so utilized there are currently no active employees. Then why do we need the class. From time to time we are recruiting for classifications and theyre vacant and they are utilized at other times and so i i got why this is currently vacant but currently when we did a snapshot of this all the employees within the classifications that are moving from unrepresented to represented there was none in that classification i can get you background. Anyone wish to comment testify open that most existing item seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And why not get answers and then ms. Campbell if you can go do our magic if it requires calling the controller to get what relevant history of the Program ManagerCommunity Investment and infrastructure whether or not theyre intended to be positions not filled that independently get that well be here for a while with grand jury report. Madam clerk call item number 3. And four together. Yes. Item three and four a hearing and resolution richmond to 9 proceeding Supreme Court on the 20162017 grand jury report entitled San Francisco county jails our Largest Mental HealthFacility Needs attention. This is another of the 2016 civilly civil grand jury report id like to ask mr. Cunningham. Sitting on on behalf of the jury is michael ph. D. Good morning doctor. Hello. Good morning supervisors im grad to be back to presentation is represents my fourth well, my second term of services in which ive been a contributor i guess what i want to talk about just in the beginning here is about all of our reports collectively and what they represent to me and why i think the civil grand jury it is important what this represents to may a product of agreement and the challenges of getting people to agree on anything today is significant get 19 juries to agree on years of work represents a big challenge and i think that it is worth pointing that out the jail was no exemption from that it was a challenge for us to come up with recommendations and finding that are relevant and that we all can agree upon it is a important issue a nation a state and a city that holds liberty and freedom to be at the core of its value incarcerating people is a serious action one that shouldnt be taken lighting and it perhaps why the first names of the state constitution including the clause that the civil grand juries should look out the county jails it is engaged in the process of Holding People in custody and denial of personals freedoms as a jury with little background to begin with in the jails when we look at assessing what the jails are all we have to go by the rules and regulations as to how a jail is to be operated and how a jail to be constructed so we looked to california code title 15 minimum standards for local detention and the Building Standards Commission for the local detention facilities we visited every single site and thank the members of Sheriffs Department and of the Jail Behavioral Health services and the Jail Services that coordinated and helped us to understand really how the jail operates and what the challenges are theyre significant and what the question that we begin to ask was can a local standard be 34ri8d to the operation of the county jail given the state regulations so forth those minimum standards i think this board or the board of supervisors this year answered that question and the answer is yes. That a Standard Community standard can be applied and it is a higher standard and the Sheriffs Department today is very much changed by contemporary problems within the city that led people problem kr5r9d and in the jail system for various reasons whos origins are social and family and Community Related need to say a Community Related response to them. So in our initial look at the jail in question looked could closely and intact the first twentyfour hour or 72 hours hours a person is in jail the most important time to obviously and be aware of issues related to suicides prevent suicides the department has a very good record we thought an important issue to look at had is happening in the world around us and that any life can be saved is important to consider so we looked at irks of transfer of the custody from the departments bringing people in and the tracking of medical referrals from the Sheriffs Department to San Francisco general we looked at issues of training, whether or not the Department Needs to have twentyfour hour behavioral staffing throughout we look at issues of Drug Diversion which is the exchange of drugs within the jailed population itself noting at the time we were writing this report was the time the cdc was issuing the proscribing has bearing in the jail im sure some of the people that will be presenting following me will be discussing this issue and look at the issues of increased staffing the Sheriffs Department and im happy to hear there is a a Academy Class going to take place here soon and the Staffing Levels come up we feel that it is important to relieve the fatigue under the department for ongoing overtime and we like to see an increase in a variety of work within the department as well as the inclusion of Information Management through open data it is an important Public Safety issue that seems like jail population daily populations counts and so forth with a statistic figure to allow for the study of jail by the public where the the involvement of the public and the awareness of the public the operation of the county jail is important for the reason that freedom is important to us so the challenges face by the jail that are social and medical is that we have today a situation where many People Living on the streets will have drug issues find themselves in a condition of extreme need they may commit a crime they wouldnt or unable to assess the resources that places them with within the view of Law Enforcement with few other options available oftentimes theyre brought to the county jail sometimes that is medical stabilization for psych stabilization or the provision of services the Sheriffs Department around the country are finding themselves the provider of social Services Resources that could be provided outing outside of the jail this is the challenge this city is facing right now how to separate the incarceration and the provision of social Service Resources throughout the city and it shouldnt be forgotten that unfortunate there will always be a need for a county jail but as we get better at providing Services Within the community to the people and keeping them out of the jail the level of sophistication of the people remained in jail increases and making for the need for the secure facilities and the safety of the Sheriffs Department employees to be of great concern in tare role as a safety partner at this point, ill turn to sheriff hennessey for followup. Thank you, very much. Decrease sheriff hennessey. Good morning thank you members im here today to talk about the grand jury report and thank you to the grand jury i appreciate your thoughtful con rat reporting on this subject and met with the new grudging or grand jury an interesting process and involved when i was in the Sheriffs Department earlier so i just a couple codify things that michael talked about er doctor taunted was staffing intact the variety of work the number of people working and the Data Collection that he the reenvisioning process that supervisor president london breed established through a resolution this year i want to say that i put my comments in the letter that i wrote to you and ill wait for questions at this point.
