Good evening, chief, how are you . Good evening commissioners. I am going to start this evening with the crime trends for the week, then talk about the significant events of the week. It is a short report. We are i will start with homicides five yeartodate. 17 below this time last year with six. Earl flee the year that is a good indication the way we started off the year things slowed down. We had a busy first three weeks. As far as shootings we are up. 16 yeartodate as opposed to nine yeartodate this time last year that is a significant increase, 78 . We did a five year look at the shootings. The 16 is about on par with where we usually are. 2013 there was 230, 2015, 17, 2016 there was 14. We had a good year last year. This year we are about where we normally are with our shootings. We are working to reduce that even more. Firearms and recover age yeartodate 91. That split is 45 from the golden gate and 38 from the Metro Division and eight others. We ended last year with 1023 firearms seized as opposed to 1216 in 2016. For major events. There are two major events i would like to talk about that will probably have good crowd sizes. First is the giant fan test at at t park on saturday januar january 10th between 10 00 a. M. And 3 p. M. Estimated attendance 30,000. Of course, it is always a well attended event. Hopefully everybody will come and have a good time and get ready for baseball. 2018 Chinese New Year min flee parade in chinatown. This will be from 10 00 in the morning and then it will go to 8 00 p. M. It should be a fairly well attended event, and it really is a kickoff to the Chinese New Year celebrations throughout the month of february. There is a small procession beginning at st. Marys square and grant to washington. At grant a ribboncutting at the flower market fair on washington street and grant avenue. The mayor and dignitaries will attend the ceremonies. That will be from 10 00 until 8 00 p. M. There is a dua saturation patrol. That was this past friday. California highway pa California Office of Traffic Safety provided funding. It was a dui checkpoint and proactive saturation to reduce amount of drunk drivers on the streets. Results over 30 citations written. One unlicensed driver sited. No dui arrests made from the checkpoint. We released the 9 6 00 a. M. Report this 96 report this week. The results encouraging. 33 decrease in reportable use of force in compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2016. Yeartodate for the year 2017 our department saw an 18 decrease in use of forces compared to 2016. There were 212 calls for service in the Fourth Quarter of 2017. Force was used in one tenth of 1 of those 212 calls for service. A total of 262 incidents of force used. Our total encounters for that period detentions and traffic stops were 37,916. Searches were 9,186. That is 23 of the total encounters there. Were an 18 decrease in use of forces for the quarter, 63 3com paired to 953 in 2016. That is very encouraging. I think in the spirit to reduce force that is encouraging news. The trend continues from the previous quarter. For that quarter there were two officerinvolved shootings, one resulted in death, and one in injury of suspect and injury of officers. The department received six bias complaints for that quarter. Officers injured decreased by 12 over the 2016. That is encouraging news also. That concludes the first part of my chiefs report. Director mcguire will present the second part dealing with the budget for this coming fiscal year request. Those are each individual items on the agenda unless you warrant to prove them up to this. We can do that. Im sorry the budget items are individual on the agenda. We will get to you, ms. Mcguire, thank you. That concludes my report for this week. Any questions for the chief . Chief you mentioned about the giants having the opening here. Do we have a new agreement with the giants about funding for the officers at the ballpark . I understand in years past they pay for the officers inside of the ballpark but not outside. What i hear from the public and the Police Officers it is a drain on the resources we have to send units assigned to districts to cover the outside of the ballpark for supplemental support. Is there an agreement with the giants or change in that . Last year i met with the giants before the season started. We dont have any new agreements yet. It is definitely Something Worthy of discussion. We want to adequately deploy. It is significant deployment for the game. I appreciate that. We hear two sector cars are sent over because they need them at the ballpark. They are not covering the districts and i think that is important. Any other questions for the chief, commissioners . Chief, thank you. Now report on your much deserved vacation. It was nice. Very good report. Thank you. Secretary kilshaw. 2b report on recent dpa activities and announcements. Good evening. A couple of updates. We finally got our finance clerk in. He started this week. There are a number of unfilmed openings i have been trying to fill since day one. The new investigators are finally scheduled to come in. It has taken this long to get them scheduled and cleared, but we will have five new investigators by february 20th. That is a big deal. It will change how we are able to approach officerinvolved shootings and conduct more thorough investigations with all of our cases. I also finished this week and filed and it should be on for the next scheduled commission meeting, the 2016 report. Just as a reminder the quarterly reports and annual reports went back as far as five years so is the final report to catch us up currently so there are no more gaps in the reports and quarterly stats as of the next commission meeting. We have been having meetings myself and my staff with the department on 2. 04 and various dgos. We will continue to work on those things. Our new Computer System is coming through. I have been started to manipulate the numbers and play with the information on what i can draw out, and i will as we continue having the meetings be able to tell you more about our numbers in realtime, but for this month we have 47 new cases came in for january. Our current caseload as of today is 233 cases. As a reminder, we were close to 600 last year or the year before last if you are following the annual report. In terms of the technology staff, i feel like i have to address some of it. There is an article that came out this week about our online complaints being down for a period of time. That is accurate. As you recall, as soon as i came in, the department partnered with the department of technology to issue computers to all of the staff at dpa but also to change the operating system from the operating system that we had been working on in the early 1980s to bring us current and up to staff with windows 10. As part of that many of the internal and external systems went down. One was the complaint form, and the complaint forms were managed and created by an outside vendor that has since disappeared. We had to rebuild a new one, which is the short answer it is up. Our online complaints are up. It is still using part of the old system. You can go through to make the online complaints, and i will continue to make these improvements. A lot will be easier when i bring in a new director of technology because our old director left that position as soon as i or within a month after i started the position. That is my report and my update. I want to acknowledge in the audience with me several employees from dpa. My staff are here and in the audience. Thank you for being here. Questions for the dpa director . All right. Thank you, dpa director. Next line item. Item 2c commissioners reports. I do have a report this evening, as you have read about, which i personally apologize, it is not in any way, shape or form my fault. The fact the San Francisco Police Department, California Department of justice and the Mayors Office entered a memorandum of understanding. I want to be clear. I want each of you to understand there is only one body charged with oversight of the San Francisco Police Department, and that is the San Francisco Police Commission. That is the seven member body that sits here today. That in september, i believe it is, when the u. S. D. O. J. Announced it would step out of the collaborative reform process that the department and commission voluntarily entered into for the purpose of analyzing best practices, training, tactic systems and offering recommendations to enhance the relationship between the department and the community, we began a cooperative Partnership Relationship when they stepped out of that arrangement it was decided that we needed another independent third body to look at the reform measures we were passing, the actions we were taking to make sure they were within best practices. It was decided that, of course, we cannot say we are creating these measures and they are the best. We needed independent validation and a third party to say that was in keeping with the best practices and what was going on in other areas of the country. From the very begin of this process, the Mayors Office, dpa, and the Commission Leadership were all invited to discuss these issues. From the begin, i said then and now. The California Department of justice is not the proper party to have this responsibility because they dont have any experience with collaborative reform. They dont have any experience with dealing with these type of best practices, and deciding these issues and helping departments reach these goals. Their experience is bringing pattern and practice cases against departments and takeovers and oversight which is not what we require or need of the San Francisco Police Department. Despite my objections, and when i was not present, despite commissioner mazzuccos objections, this was the party selected other than outside agencies to do this work. In fact, the only person at the department of justice that has a history of collaborative reform, and the type of Partnership Work we were looking to establish is susie loftis. We have more access to her than they do. That being said, i did continue to meet with them as a crafted their mou. My stated goal and purpose then and now, was to make sure the word oversight and that they do not in either written form or indeed understand their role to ever be to supplant the duties and responsibilities of this commission when it comes to oversight. Iin fact, there is a specific paragraph in the mou which we will calendar for discussion that says that specifically at my insistence. When you have a chance to review and discuss these issues, we will do so. I am told, and you will see also, i am told that both the Mayors Office and the coj were told the Police Commission did not have to approve or sign off on this mou because it contains no money. However, the charter of the city and county of San Francisco makes this body, this body, responsible for the implementation of practices, policies, and the governance of the Police Department. How are they going to pass reform measures through the dgo unless we pass them . So we will take up those issues and the mou at another time once it has been calendared and properly placed for discussion. Despite what you might have read, there is no oversight taken up over this Police Department by the d. O. J. Commissioner melara. On page 4 number 3 at the top. The document has not been circulated publicly and it will be calendared for discussion. Next question. Commissioner hirsch. Are we going to be asked to approve the document . The document is not calendared for discussion. It will be taken up during our next meeting. Next question. You know, i just want to say if you dont mind thank you for clarifying. I did hear the attorney general was going to have oversight over the Police Department and the radio. I was confused. I appreciate the clarification. The document has been posted to the d. O. J. Site and to the San Francisco Police Department. We cannot comment on the document or recognize it because it has not had a proper posting. Anier questions, any other questions, commissioners . I will save it for when we talk about the document. I am kind of stunned at the process. That will make two of us. Any other questions . Commissioners, any other reports . Next issue. Item 2d announcements and those identified for future Committee Meetings action. Okay. Any items for the commissioner hearing. Yes, in consultation with the City Attorneys Office and sergeant kilshaw, based on the discussion that i believe took place at the last meeting where i was not in attendance, there was a discussion of dgo5. 15, i want to report that that is ready for consideration it will be ready for the february 21st meeting. I will look at the schedule and see if we can get it on depending on our schedule. Thank you. Looking at the memorandum, the department of justice i one of the reforms was that the Police Department should not investigate their own officerinvolved shootings. I dont know if the department has that calendar or if someone is dealing with that. I wonder if we can calendar that and talk about how we want to tackle that particular reform issue. Step to the microphone, please. Good evening. Can you repeat the question. Is the department of justice indicated the San Francisco Police Department should not investigate their own officerinvolved shootings. That is one of their recommendations. I dont know if it is with the working group or not. I am in a different working group. I wonder if it is dealt with. Can we calendar and talk with what ideas have come forward in how we are going to deal with that particular recommendation . I will check that and work with the sergeant to get that calendared. Is there a working group currently working with that . Yes. Thank you. With that recommendation, there has been a discussion with the district Attorneys Office for over a year on that very recommendation and mou discussion about the investigation of the officerinvolved shootings. That is still in progress, and it has been discussed with the department of Human Resources in the meet and confer process. There is a document that needs to go to meet and confer that is the next phase of this process. This is in process well over a year. Well talk about it. The confusion i have is the District Attorney is the charging arm for prosecution, but then you have your own in policy or not discipline or training issues. Are you telling me the da is taking all of that . No, a criminal investigation of officerinvolved shootings. The administrative that the they say not the administrative investigation. That is wha what i want to follp on. There is no movement on taking the administrative investigations out of the hands of the Police Department, but the criminal investigations, yes. Can we calendar it to get an idea where you are with the administrative part and start tackling that as a committee. Commissioners which commissioners are working on use of force . Commissioner melara, are you working on it commissioner hirsch . No. Any other announcements . Calendaring any items . Yes, for february 14th meeting we will be in a room different, room 416. That is due to city hall upgrading the Audio Visual Equipment in this room, making this room unavailable for the next meeting. For members of the public we will be in room 416 for the next meeting on february 14th and it will still start at 5 30 p. M. I will be traveling on business next week. Commissioner mazzucco will be in charge. All right. Public comment on items 2a through 2d. Seeing no Public Comment, Public Comment is now closed. I figured my rant would get one little bite. That is okay. All right next line item please. Item three discussion to approve a budget modification to the board of supervisors per visors reallocating 1 mill 176,768 in salaries and fringe savings to overtime action. I want to welcome Catherine Mcguire our finance director. Good evening. This item is essentially related to the north bay fires. As you all know we provided nottule aid to sin no maand napa counties to provide Traffic Control among other duties as requested. We are able tok to b be rebursed to 1. 2 reimbursed 1. 2 million by fema and the state when we submit the billing which is imminent and after they have review and certified it has the dock you mentationness. We will receive these as reimbursesible funds years in the making. Sometimes fema claims can take 10 years to be completed. The rem fire many years ago now is still being reimbursed to this day. We have to face a budget problem in our current fiscal year. This is not additional funds. It is a transfer from salaries and training savings into the overtime budget line. So this 1. 2 million represents that need. It is going to be years before the check is in the mail . Thats correct. Likely. Unknown but likely. The action you need from us to approve this so you can go to the board of supervisors . Thats correct. You can ask for questions. I didnt know we did that. That is good to know. The board of supervisor board bs know this is place for fires. They will not be surprised. The purpose is so they are not surprised. They were aware of the mutual aid . We had to do this by a certain time so they are not surprised. We are not going to exceed the overtime budget as a result of this at this time. The chief has been reported on over time to date. The numbers look very good. As we approach the end of the year, this particular mechanism was intended to better safe than sorry, make sure we have the fund this is the budget to cover ourselves to the end of the fiscal year and this was an unexpected cost for sure. It sounds like what you might be asking is the process of mutual aid whether or not the board of supervisors are aware mutual aid is a thing. It is over time and were they aware of it. It i wasnt aware of it. Iit is good to know. Thanks. Happy to take other questions. Do we need Public Comment . Yes, we do. Moved do we have a second. Moved by mizzouca and seconded by hirsch. Public comment on item 3. Seeing none. Public comment is now closed. All right. Item number three is moved by commissioner mazzucco and seconded by hirsch. We have approval on the budget modification, director mcguire. Thank you, commissioners. I seem four discussion and possible action to approve sfpd20182019 Budget Discussion and possible action. I am here this evening to talk through the fiscal year 1819 Budget Proposal we will submit on february 21st. The things i will discuss tonight i will give you a refresh on the budget process for any of you that are new to the city and the budgeting process. It is complex and thorough. I will give you a budget overview what we intend to submit including Airport Service growth, vehicles that we will be requesting through the Mayors Office, Information Technology projects, capital projects, and i will give you an update on the Police Staffing analysis that are underway in the department. Begin with today, we are seeking your approval to move forward with submitting the Budget Proposal to the Mayors Office which occur os february 21st. We will submit the proposed budget at that time. That is a charter mandated date. No flipping. During the period of march through may the controller and the mayor work on the budget, meaning they add the mayor adds his initiative and the controller balances the budget. They also they meaning the mayor in par netter ship with the partnership with the committee on Technology Add funds to Department Budgets to fund those projects as well as for equipment and vehicles. Then any new positions or new project funds requested by the department are considered at that time and included in the Budget Proposal that goes then to the boar board of board o bon june 1. During the month of june we work with the department to support and justify the budget and defend the budget, as appropriate. Finally, the board budget and finance committee of the board has hearings in late june at which time we will reach a budget agreement with the budget and legislative analyst budget and be approved by the budget and finance committee to go to the full board to approve if final balanced budget. The fiscal 1819 budget is coming in currently at 611 million. This slide represents the sources side of the budget. We are primarily general fund. Almost 481 million of the budget is general funds. That is pooled money shared by the entire city, sales tax and things like that. We himself have 523 also have 52 million in state revenue we receive as a result of the Public Safety sales tax. The combination of state allocations and grants for various Public Safety programs. We have a very small one tenth of 1 that is 744,000 in federal revenue that is really our products enforcement and Crime Lab Testing and pedestrian safety. Additional revenue and i will skip Inter Department Mental Services because i have a separate specific slide on those funds. Other revenue is represented this is from city reserved to Fund Planning for the 2020 bond and it is a Target Corporation grant of 10,000. We received fines and fees and charges for services totaling if the form of municipal code permits and licenses and that totals 4. 1 million. This is is in the fees fines and charges the total is 8 million. The fees and fines are for fingerprinting and that is about 1 million we also receive funding at 1. 5 million and 10b administrative charges to the tune of 1. 4 million. Finally, the Airport Enterprise Fund is a is for the Airport Bureau and that is nearly 61 million. Then we are looking at the other side of the formula, a balanced budget talking about the expenditure side of the funds. As you all may know, 86 of the budget is people. Salaries and benefits. That totals up to math on the fly well in excess of 500 million. So professional services is our things like rents and litigation costs and training and copying and printing. We have other smaller costs for not smaller but annual it budget for Software Licensing and support is in excess of 1 million. It doesnt cover what we need. Other small costs here include software and equipment maintenance for special system os fingerprinting and id machines and that sort of thing. In the materials and supplies line, we the bulk of these funds are in crime lab supplies. Office supplies and actually by far the largest expense here totaling about 2 million is uniforms and safety equipment. We have a large increase this year in Capital Outlay as a result of the Forensic Science division bills out and furniture and didnt necessary to move into the building. We have to set it up and make sure it is validated to open the crime lab when the building is ready for occupancy. That is 6. 5 million. We also in this line have 3. 5 million for body cameras and 4 million set aside for replacement cars as a result of the last year budget. Two year cycle they included 4 million there. Then finally the department charges services paid to the department. We perform services for some departments and accept funding from them. In this case we actually familiar services for other departments, im sorry we receive services from other departments, and the bulk is workers compensation. Department of technology and Telephone Services and infrastructure maintenance and vehicle maintenance and fuel charges. Going back to the people, as i mentioned 86 of our budget is people costs. Our Staffing Levels or funded position levels in fiscal 20172018 total 200093 people. 574 of which are civilians. The vast majority of our staffs is sworn ftes. Of 2419 sworn ftes, 178 are dedicated to the airport. The city, meaning our downtown costs, are 2,171 ftes and Academy Recruits and city funded recruits each being 20 and 50ftes respectively. On the civilian side we have 188 airport civilian and 386 general funded ftes. So as you can see as we move into fiscal year 20182019 we increase the sworn number of ftes at the airport by 40. Im sorry. The sworn changes is going to fund more Academy Class in the new fiscal year. I can go to the next page to show you what that represents. The airport wants to add over 150 positions to the budget. They add funds to the budget and they add positions to the budget. Then it is paid for by the Airport Enterprise Fund. There is no we dont have to ask the mayors offers for office for general money to cover the cost that is a general fund request. The intent is to add two Academy Classes in the two fiscal years. The positions will come starting in fiscal 1920 into the budget. We have two separate work orders, one for Academy Classes and one for the positions in the budget with active members at the airport. Going back to the services we provide other agencies this is correct is an accounting of what we have in our budget to the airport being 61 million of that and then you will see that second line separate for airport funded Academy Recruits in fiscal 20182019. The nta provides money, the port, library, human services. Treasure island, etc. Which brings us to vehicles a loved topic. I want to slow you all what and i think you are are well aware of the dire situation in our fleet. We have had i want to point out in 2012 we had 330 patrol cars. We are now at 309 because we keep retiring cars because they are so beat up or totaled or not functioning any more such that we are retiring them faster than we can replace them, and not to mention that 32 of patrol cars are over 10 years old and 32 are over 100,000 miles. You go to the unmarked cars and we are even worse off. 82 of our unmarked fleet is over 10 years old. It is kind of unheard of in other Police Departments to have cars running this long. Specialty vehicles again 74 of our fleet is over 10 years old. We are requesting 169 vehicles as an order of magnitude, we received 70 in the budge net the current fiscal year. We are asking for a lot of cars. It totals 10. 4 million. Moving to the technology request. We have requested funding for Case Management systems and these are all enhancement goes to the crime data warehouse. We have two portals that will be Additional Information for that sits outside of Case Management system. The Crisis Intervention Team portal and transparent data portal. We already have renewed funding for citations and websites. We asked for additional funding for our website project as well. Which brings us to capital needs. As you all know, there has been an accelerated timeline to move out of the hall of justice. The costs associated with that are in part budgeted by the mapping committee. We discovered that much of the technology that exists in the building, the infrastructure surrounding the fiber needed to carry the fingerprints over fast connections is not available. Well, we will have to create that infrastructure wherever we move there. Are three locations to which we are moving. We have to ask for additional funds to make sure we can install that technology in the new locations. Where are we moving. Tentative plans. The board of supervisors can approve or deny the leases. Two building, 777 brannen and 350 rhode island. 777 brennan will house our property unit, then 350 rhode island will house investigatio investigations. Then we still have some need. There is multiple other units in the hall of justice we are trying to find locations for. The third building is our Forensic Service building that is slated to break ground and open in 2020. That will be the final from the hall of justice our Traffic Company will go there. Again, we have to make sure the technology is available at all three of those locations. So i wanted to give you an update to some of the staffing work we have been do anything the department and the analysis. Some of this will inform our budget request and the conversations we have with the Mayors Office. You will recall the budget and legislative analyst. You may not remember this. The office had requested well the board of supervisors requested the office to perform staffing audit of our department. That is underway. They are due to complete that in may. We have been back and forth with them about they have had a lot of requests for information to which we have responded, and the additional you may remember this one that did come before you. The supervisor requested the task force of staffing Analysis Task force so in order to review the methods and propose method and levels by which we would staff the Police Department. We have broken that effort into two phases. The first being the board of supervisors had requested a report from the office about the right method. They said workload based is the best way to calculate the need. One of the most critical and sort of uniformly accepted methodologies on the patrol side is to review calls for service to derm how much time you want the officers to spend on the calls for service. It is community demand base demand based metric. We dont have control over that. We have to respond to every call for service that is how you derm what your staffing level needs to be. It is constant. You want to set a certain level to derm what your staffing level is. That is something the Controllers Office is working on. It is sector patrol only. They will be really seeing the releasing the findings in the coming weeks. If you decide you would like them to come and present on those findings, they are happy to do that. They offered. Second phase is everything else. A functional analysis that is taking a look at our department, comparing us to other jurisdictions and what are the functions we perform versus other departments and determining kind of where the gaps are for us. It also includes looking at special operations that arent sector patrol and other support functions such a forensic, fiscal property. That is a lot. We are underway in trying to we are starting the procurement process to get a contractor to do the analysis for phase two. And for phase one those findings are eminent. This is just a recap of what i had indicated earlier that the esr2 bond will fund the Forensic Services building which is due to open in 2020. I am happy to take any questions. I know it is a lot. Commissioner malarra. Where do you factor in the cost of tasers since we are scheduled for implementation in 2018. We will submit a request for the Mayors Office to include those as well. Mr. Mazzucco. Thank you. This is excellent as always. So the public is not confused we are talking about adding Police Officers to the San Francisco airport and Academy Classes. That means they dont go straight from the academy to the airport they go to the street and more Senior Officers transfer to the airport. That is correct. Some of the cars look terrible. Iit is a Public Safety issue. One district station heavy the cars are out of service right now. The age of cars, it is a safety concern for the officers. Is there anything we can do to make sure we dont have three officers in a car and half the cars are down in the district station. We have cars for officers to drive to respond to calls for service. There is a lot of new cars in the Public Safety. Can we do anything to get the cars out on the street for the officers responding to the calls . Commissioner, we are juggling with the cars. That is one of the considerations. We have redeployed some of the cars. Thankfully, with the budget from last year and the car from the budget the previous year, about a third of the fleets will be replaced from moneys allocated. We hope to get support on the budget this year. How many marked units are waiting to be put on the street . Do we have cars sitting there now . I believe all of the cars purchased are out in the field. The next batch of cars from last years budget have to be purchased. Thank you. I appreciates it. The cleave has been cleave has been on top of this, too. On page three i didnt follow something. You have 61,100,000,000dollar figure. In positions all expenditures of 623. Is that attributable to the airport . The total is 623 million. The total growth of 12 million in year one, then 10 more Million Dollars in year two. That is part of it. That is a result of a 3 cost of living increase for all positions and Inter Department Mental Services and it is a onetime budget increase of 6. 5 million for the new crime lab opening. You are asking this commission to approve the 611 figure . So, no, i believe we are asking you approve 623 million. I have a question for commissioner dejesus. Are you going to bring a separate request fortessers or is it in the 623 million . It will be in the february 21st submission. That is part of this budget . It is not in the slides. We have had so many problems with the Budget System as it connected to the financial system. We didnt have these reports ready to go and there are just a few tweaks here and there and this is one of them that we get the entries done between sometimes between now and then. Can you give us an idea how much for the tasers . 500,000 for Information Technology integration and 3 million to make the purchase over a number of years for all of the equipment that is necessary. Thanks. Any other questions for director mcguire . Director, you need approval from us, dont you. All right. Do i have any discussion or appropriate motion on this item . I move we accept the budget as presented. Second that motion. Public comment. On the budget item. Speaking of budget you said the word. That is what im here for. How is everybody doing. This is black History Month. I am here to talk about black History Month. My god you are not sick today, are you . I feel g. I started with black History Month to give me a past. I am in the back because i am black. Aint nothing wrong. Tell your mom i am doing it for her. The black population is going down
