Largely go unprosecuted. So in the weeks coming up, i plan to have a meeting with the District Attorneys Office to push on him and ask questions about his prosecution rate and will be moving with extreme deliberate force and swiftness on our citys approach to violence and violence prevention. As you know the budget legislative analyst tooted instituted a report and found that we spent millions of dollars on this but none of the city departments have received this money or any form of coordination. That is something that im taking on as a priority and i welcome my colleagues to join me on this.

Supervisor mark farrell thank you. I would like to introduce that will be here by a Homeless Count. This is a requirement of hud to receive funding for Homeless Services and programs and helps the federal government better understand the scope of the issue here in San Francisco. It captures information around our homeless population. I thought i would list a few of them out to include basic demographic information including age, gender, race, ethnicity, homelessness. Problems that causes homelessness. Employment and income and criminal justice system. Data around chronicle and subhelp population and all the data points i mentioned above in my opinion are Vital Information marcus for us as policy makers and better for us in the San Francisco. I think in my opinion this account is going to serve as a report card as how we are doing in San Francisco and also a road map going forward. We are going to be able to see whether our numbers have decreased or increased over the past 2 years. Obviously there is though one size fits all solution to this issue as we continue to examine this over the years. I will be going out myself in the Homeless Count on thursday evening and look forward to that experience and will be a part of that Data Collection effort. Two of the things i know we are going to be talking about both by supervisor wiener during roll call on the passing of bob morales. I was very shocked to hear that. He was the first person i met her coming to city hall. A great person, incredibly sad to hear of his loss on a personal level but also for the teamsters as well. Then also to back up supervisor cohen and wiener on their hearing around Police Staffing levels. I look forward to participating in that as well and i will be looking forward to cosponsoring it. Its an issue of crime. Not only do we have homicide and supervisor cohen, an amazing comment that weve had since we started this meeting a few Human Resources ago. What i have heard from residents in my district. Time and again over the last years it has increased in Violent Crimes and neighborhood crimes. This issue affects us all maybe different ways in our districts but it affects everyone of us and Police Staffing levels is something that is right for discussion here at the board of supervisors and inside of city hall. I think Public Safety i imagine is going to be a huge priority for a lot of us, i know it will be as we head towards budget season. I know its a priority for mayor lee and i look forward to participating in that discussion. I want to thank my colleagues for bringing that forward and i know its just the tip of the iceberg and i thank my colleagues for supporting that. The rest i submit. Supervisor kim . Supervisor jane kim thank you, mr. Clerk. Im introducing two items today. The first is expend resolution with the Recs Department with 8 million the San FranciscoParks Alliance on behalf of the south Park Improvement association. These fundings will be used for the renovation of south park. This is in incredibly exciting as i mentioned over again San Francisco as the fewest and smallers parks in the city so the parks are incredibly important to our neighborhood and our district especially as we continue to absorb the vast majority of density and growth on behalf of the city. South park, i learned is the oldest park in San Francisco. The land was acquired in 1987 and established as a park. This park was included in 2012 park as the san diego park. In 2009, the Park Improvement association embarked on a Planning Committee process for full renovation of the park. Over the last 6 years, spia has been really successful in developing partnerships both public and private and now working very closely with the San FranciscoParks Alliance and to make them an instrumental partner in supporting this rehab for this park. This grant will be used to enhance the recreation and Parks Construction budget for people of all ages. The enhance construction budget includes a special play structure, more lighting, traffic Calming Solutions at the entrance of the park including bulb out and street stamping and crosswalks. I want to thank sdia for securing public and private funds and they completed the 400000 gap that remains in the park and well work closely with them to ensure this gap is filled. If there are members of the public who would like to contribute to this park and with a plaque with your name on it, there is a way to donate with sbia. Org. My next item similar to my first point on infrastructure. Many of you are ed this morning of the loss of approximately 1 million of developer fees that was supposed to be secured in the soma state fund with a loss account. It included 71,000 for the Community Improvement account management by the planning department. Our office has been gravely concerned with the loss of developer fees that were intended for the improvement of our neighborhoods in particular our parks, our streetscaping and other infrastructure needs. We actually learned of this loss only a little over 2 weeks ago and intended on calling a hearing january 13th and decided not to do so until we met with the mayors of housing and members of south of market Fund Community advisory committee. As mentioned this fund was for infrastructure whether it be open space, Community Center facilities streetscape improvements. Widespread facility and affordable housing. This growth to ensure we are building complete neighborhoods so as we have more residents and workers we are able to accommodate them with increasing transit, open space and other. The cac has been working diligently to evaluate potential projects that would have the most impact for a neighborhood and to give an example, the first Infrastructure Investment funding street lights across from the park. The only multiuse park in the south of market. In another example of the use of these funds included the acquisition of the united players clubhouse or Howard Street ensuring that this use of Violence Prevention Program would be able to stay in the south of market despite the hot real estate environment and an investment to acquire a 5unit Apartment Building on toma street on the market rate market and ensure it will remain affordable. We have been working hard to secure funding from this developer and im calling a hearing to ensure there is funding reporting on the status of these funds we realize how its important that how we loss this that there is complicated routes that Many Developers go through on a variety of different departments and sometimes even other agencies. In this case it was the a bag finance authority for nonprofit corporation. As a member of a dag committee im also making a similar inquiry to understand the role and will releasing the gundz back funds back to the developer and the Mayors Office are unequivocal that we will do everything to ensure that we are making our communities whole. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor kim. Supervisor mar in supervisor eric mar thank you. The Russian Community has a Large Population of russian speaking people.

City clerk thank you, supervisor mar. Supervisors tanning tang. Supervisor katy tang in regards to what i will introduce today the Family Violence council to increase awareness and understanding of domestic and Family Violence and its consequences. So the three primary goals of this is that we are supposed to be coordinating services and improving communication between those in Domestic Violence and child abuse and elder dependent abuse and secondly trials and data related to Family Violence in San Francisco statewide and nationally and last to advise the board of supervisors, the mayor and courts about these trends of violence and family issues and addressing child abuse and Domestic Violence. It was created in 2008 and since then the council has sparked really great improvement in San Francisco. No. 1 advocating for the Childrens Advocacy Center national tr for the art and center for abused children. The council also helped to establish for people who are convicted of child abuse. One other thing the council did was it helped with the department of Emergency Management to help in specialized codes for Family Violence when dispatch received call they are able to easily and clearly note the type of emergency. Prior to this effort theres though process and method for distinguishing those who may need specialized help. So the council is in its fourth year. In our conversations with those who work very closely or part of the council there has been an expressed desire to update this council and this legislation im introduce today will add six new members from the following departments to the council. This includes juvenile probation, public defender, animal care control, the San FranciscoUnified School District, Human Resources director and the fire department. In addition to that, other changes we are making to this will help ensure rotation of Steering Committee members and be able to foster new leadership on this council. I do want to thank my cosponsors breed and cohen. With that i will submit. Thank you. Supervisor wiener . Supervisor scott weiner thank you, mr. Clerk. Colleagues, a few things. First as supervisors cohen and farrell mentioned we are doing a few things around Public Safety. First, weve requested that the city controller analyze what full staffing of our Police Department means in San Francisco. We know that many things impact Public Safety but one important factor is how Many Police Officers we have. And one of the most common things that i hear from constituents is why dont i see Police Officers in my neighborhood. And it is a frustration and a lot of parts of the city and if you, as we all know that department is under staffed. The charter sets full staffing at 109 1 officers due to years and negligence that was dropped to 1700. We would like to bring it back up to 2000 officers. Even before it was put in the charters in the 80s. We have a larger city now and neighborhoods that didnt exist and more larger events in the city and its not g egg to stop. We are going to continue to add more population and will have more events in San Francisco and i dont think 2,000 officers is going to cut it with our new San Francisco. So we ask the controller to work on an analysis of what full staffing really means not just now but in the future so we know in 2016 we dont necessarily stop, that we actually keep planning and we know with need to plan for the future in terms of growth, housing capacity and capacity in our School System and Public Safety and structure. I look forward to this situation. The Current Situation is not okay in San Francisco and is in a lot of the parts of the city that are sometimes considered safe in my district two murders, just in tiny triangle in the last 6 months. Bank robberies in the castro and knowey valley and arsenal second in the 4 years, castro, robberies. Just yesterday the police had to respond to warner plaza ten times in 1 day because of the fighting with the backpacker kids. We really need to work with our Police Department. They are short staffed they have a very hard job and we want to know what are the crime trends, how are they working with that staff and how can we help the department get the staffing it needs. Its a very important conversation, colleagues. I also call for a hearing along with supervisor campos on a looming issue in our community specifically the population of longterm hiv survive ors and we have a very significant income drop that could cause them not to be able to pay their rent and may become homeless. We have a population primarily gay men who became hiv positive in the 1980s and went on to private insurance through their employer. Some reentered the workforce and some did not. As with almost all private disability policies it only last until you are 65 years old and move to social security. This is a problem we need to grapple with because the last thing we need is hundreds of thousands of hiv positive people who are stably housed who cannot afford to pay their rent anymore. I would like to thank the budget analyst for doing this excellent report for quantifying it for the 1st time and well hold a hearing to determine the next step. I want to thank my cosponsors supervisor tang. We attend many animal facilities. Pending legislation in sacramento to effectively crack down on the illegal atria ed trade in ivory and rhino horns are causing a mass extermination in rhinos and poaching happening. They are now poisoning the vulchers. Its a terrible trade and unfortunately San Francisco is one of the centers of this rhino horns trades and we have to be very firm in San Francisco that its not okay and we are not participating in the extermination of these animals any whenever in the world. So the legislation does support this important piece of legislation. Then finally two in memo memoriam. The first is greg gut nick, a fix you are fixture in the neighborhood. He was a homeless man. He was able to pull himself up and became housed and no longer living in the valley and continued to participate in the neighborhood and volunteer for over a decade in the Farmers Market and just a wonderful person and beloved in the neighborhood and he suddenly passed away recently and its very very tragic and as mentioned by a few colleagues i am submitting a memoriam and requesting that be on behalf of the entire board, bob morales, the great leader for the teamster and film commissioner. He was born in el salvador and came to the u. S. In 1958 and served in the u. S. Army, a member of the plaster union and business representative for teamsters local 350 as secretary treasure. He also served as the Teamster Joint Council secretary treasure for a number of years. He was the president of the National Teamsters hispanic caucus and the california spanish teamsters and the Welfare Trust for the bay area teamsters and teamsters retirement plan. Hes been recognized by so many organizations, by congress, by the state legislature, and by the city of San Francisco because he was such a great human bean being and on a personal level bob was a laborer that i got to know really well when i got involved in politics years ago. He was just a solid person and one of those leaders that really politics can be so hard sometimes as we all know and he was one of those people that was so straight forward and sincere and just a great person. Late last year in october or november, i called him and he e didnt return my call which is very not like bob. Hes usually one of those people that calls you back within an hour. So i was able to learn that he was very sick and had really gone into effectively conclusion. Seclusion. He was with his wife and he passed away. Supervisor london breed colleagues can we do this in memoriam for bob morales without objection . So moved. Today we are calling for a status implementation of the selective participatory budget process for fiscal year 2014. Last year my Office Organized a Participatory Program yoing district 3 and 10 last year.
