On the Planning Department 33 our recommended recommendations are 28931989 and thats for 20152016 and for 20162017 it is 25,000 plus and on the department of children youth and families. Mr. Rose before you leave planning there was a question about whether or not it is general fund or Nongeneral Fund. Sure.

Rose now really quick sheriff you want an address comment before we go on vote on this . Thank you for remembering chair farrell when we presented last week, we got a request for more information on station transfer unit i know this is not directly tied to a mr. Rose but to answer the questions we want to present to you maybe that can be brought up on the screen on the next page so if you look this is what it is required of the San Francisco Police Department in short they would have to commit 91 thousand hours plus for the stations at a cost of 4969 million for the transfer units on the next page this is very, very quick on the next page youll see from the San Francisco Sheriffs Department a considerable deduction that is per year 35 thousand hours at a it cost of 1629 million theres a considerable savings next page the San Francisco he Sheriffs Department is 59 thousand plus the Sheriffs Department is hundred 69 the difference of 69 thousand hours 91 plus is the equivalent of 4 sfpd officers so from the press from the push is to put more officers on the street as we said we believe we can also affiliate that to utilize on fte and the cost is 67 percent less as well and then we know what is important the next slide to the Police Department it the hospital runs were more happy to enter into a formal amendment all the time that will be a considerable savings to the please police and city by doing the hospital runs a nuke of supervisors and staff contacted us we want to complete that and ill be happy to happy to do that supervisor wiener. Thank you sheriff for putting the numbers so weve been hearing regarding the sheriff transfer. Station. Excuse me. The station transfer system i appreciate it is very helpful i think were in agreement i think this is one of the authors of the issues of the 0 Police Staffing we want to look for ways to make our Law Enforcement function as efficient as possible and if the two departments both building this is appropriate then i think we should be open to a lot of options one thing ill say even if this is exactly as our portraying i have no reason to doubt that it is thats 44 offers a year 3 is certainly significant but thats basically one Academy Class and the analysis weve can you think shows weve got additional 5 hundred officers so even if in the great idea and move forward with this is one piece of the solution i dont think youve suggested it is anything more than one piece of the solution ive not heard you say that but some of the narratives not but you but that started from the idea was this is somehow on alternative to staff the Police Department when it is potentially one piece of staffing up the Police Department. Yeah. I agree i think there are multiple pieces not it on the table for example, the Police Department is on a multi yearly hiring plan were not i think asserting how we can be that much more helpful awhile dealing with the attrition challenges ill be happy to and the 44 their referring to too include the hospital runs thats an academy placing class times two of another hospital run whatever we can do to get where we need to go and save money i encourage the supervisors together we can discuss how to make this work. Sure i think our goal is to set goals for staffing with the understanding that whether it is civilianstion or other means to try to make the departments as efficient as possible i appreciate the numbers. Okay. Thank you colleagues questions or comments thank you sheriff. Thank you. So colleagues we have now our budget Analyst Recommendations for the two departments for the Sheriffs Department and the dcyf and if we could have a motion to and planning i apologize a motion to accept those recommendations and i make a motion four this dcyf and the Planning Department. Well take that without objection. Okay thanks up next is the Fire Department chief joanne hayeswhite. Good afternoon. Chief really quick in departments not no r in agreements perhaps an open discuss from the Department Heads id like mr. Rose to give his report and the reductions and what our comfortable with for a cut prevention so what lurks in the middle. Continuing chief joanne hayeswhite San Francisco Fire Department i want to acknowledge all the work were close but no totally in agreement with the budget analyst the cuts for the fiscal year is one Million Dollars Million Dollars plus were at 7 o plus and prepared to go over what are 3 fundamental disagreements with the budget analyst. Okay why not hear from mr. Rose and then the decision. Mr. Rose. Yes. Mr. Chairman, and members of the Committee First of all, id like to put our recommendations in context we have recommended approval of increased expenditures over 11 million for the Fire Department in 20152016. Those increases include funding for the vacancy positions in ems and the Fire Prevention and h twoshgs academy to increase the Staffing Levels our recommendations is the expansion of fire and ems services target unnecessary costs in the proposed department lubricate i budget our reductions are one Million Dollars plus in 20152016 and thats less than 4 tenths of one period of time nermentdz less than one half of one percent. For 20162017 the total is 5 hundred and 4 thousand 507. Supervisor farrell and we made a reduction in our recommendations of 200,000 which the Department Said they need for over 7, 8, 9 other than that, well not made changes. Thats in 20152016. Yes. Thats the super bowl game thank you, very much. Chief. Thank you for the super bowl funding that was one of the 3 disagreements now were down to 2 we feel strongly and appreciate the funding for our department and most of the departments have the faced the reductions and still making sure were, if you will, our position the two disagreements are one over time allocate for recruitment to the tune of 240,000 we feel strongly i know many in the community through 9 support of director callahan and the Civic Services and the Mayors Office bottom line we have a new Testing Process that is working out but we feel strongly i personally feel strongly is maintaining the diversity of men and women in uniform some of the initial numbers need improvements for that the diverse applicant pool the one way to have funds allocated for men and women in uniform to go out and recruit last year, it didnt get funded all the collective said thought that was money well spent on recruitment for 240,000 and the other large area and it is pulsing to me i know on 3 occasions the department has been criticized and analyzed for a function in 2002 before i was chief the recommendation for nearly a 500,000 spending for the unit for 4 positions were asking for 3, 13 years later for the same amount of time and were criticized from all aspects this department does a good job we definitely do not want the positions deleted well take the the United States of america cuts and deal with that those o are the two things that remain and it adds up to 279,000 plus. Could you talk about for year two that number for year two. Ill ask the cfo to come up. Good afternoon mr. Chair some of that needs to be the attrition to the second year but in the neighborhood of i believe 300000 and ongoing savings. Okay let me ask you this. As other departments come up to speak would that time right now helpful you were taking action today rather than a do you see that person in court here today i would like something specific. Thats misunderstood. It is helpful to have a few extra minutes. Mr. Chair the mr. Rose has from the committee wishes to move forward with the money well load it into the financial system. Okay.
