2 3rds of exist continue to earn and off assistance and the only poverty out of poverty country is out of work by getting homeless families stable and wrap up with the childcare transportation and that job were seeing good successes thank you uhhuh. So supervisor yee. First of all, i want to commend your work on the fosters child serving kids and i know that is a lot of it operationally is also the advocacy from the city to the state and to the federal because 10 years ago it was a mess and you talk about some of the benchmarks for foster care system and for some of these initiatives youre talking about project 5 hundred and others what i hear how had had you measure the success. We have the strategy. Im not hearing how ill measure. Sure i talked about the outcome for families and childrens to supervisor kims question i did not go into the detail in the presentation but i certainly will in june the project 5 hundred the ultimate goal to get families out of poverty is that 200 percent or whatever for project 5 hundred the goals are more in the way were approaching this driven by that particular families strength and needs so for particular family it maybe simply getting their child to school on time for 6 months maybe having our child in high Quality Childcare it would be attending you know 4 months have a job ready course or it is such an intensive casework Family Interactive prose the goal how many families got out of poverty were engaged with signed a contract but we have an measure with the dependent family well be working with that person or firm only one person to identify the metrics both at the family level and but also the progressive level and dialoguing with our partners in health more than just in comes and Outcomes Health of the parents and child that is a process again, we Just Launched project 5 hundred and havent gold the first family but those are the things im certainly in any presentation in june walk through some of the significant benchmarks and indicators Performance Measurements so far all the programs. Thats correct i would be personally kind of interested to go dope and didnt have to be necessarily it would be just my office. Ill be happy to. Clearances any other questions or comments if im not mistaken well call up homeless. Through the committee sam dodge or department of children, youth, and families executed up as well well call Homeless Services only balls we wanted to certain individuals to hear that before they leave. Sam dodge told me weve been engaged that the district and hsa and working to stand up Depth Department of Homeless Services this is an overview about what is coming in and where were in the process i want to be cognizant of your time sow go a little bit fast those are some of the ideas informing our efforts heres our goals to end the homelessness for 8 thousand people in the next 4 years prevents people from becoming homeless with the time to reeducate and decrease the number of people exercising homelessness at one time these are the guideline principles San Francisco is a Housing First city we know that is an evidentiary based best practices to rapidly return people to housing it is better and Customer Service is important with an engagements of over seven hundred people experiencing homelessness they told us again and again approach is allowed people to accept the services a practical measure and also an important emphasis were helping people in the middle of their crisis to be proud of and Customer Service approach and Trauma Services is the best cooperated with transparent how to make the decisions about plummet and focus on the long term homeless and the strategy practices with the staff coming in the next quarter so this is our spending as supervises know it has been a drastic increase in the budget serving people exercising homelessness and 50 percent over this time period heres the distribution of where were spending that money it is a combination of you know the Human Services agency and the department of health the big buckets and theres some others but you know were pulling down federal money to help support our programs between medical and the continuum process i want to say we have got the second year tier funding San Francisco was waterway 31 million from hud a record year on top of last years we won a Bonus Program is it so good news and there was some cuts even though we won the record amount of funds for great programs that will help people end homeless but seen kits in the job programs this is part our our budget to expand our services what we know works. We continuing of federal money. Again, this is how that money that 200 and 41 million is spent the lions share is in support of housing for people formally homeless and i cant emphasis there is a lot of confusion within the building about the amount of resources were spending on people exercising homelessness and where the resources are spent so the vast majority is you know keeping people housed that are formally homeless and medically frail the Health Services because of the Health Conditions and preventing homelessness and training hope people through rental subsidies we have you know thanks to the board made Strategic Investments in outreach and shelters and additional housing really the smaller part of our system and what programs are coming over into the new departments and from preservation to remove to intervention with the trickle housing and the permanent housing and rapid housing programs are coming together with a full supreme from the streets to home. Not one answer for people exercising homelessness everyones journey is individual we look at the programs into serving people in ways that will help them return to housing and those are the buckets we use families with children and trickle age youth and veterans you know, i want to say weve seen that street Homeless People exercising homelessness are a little bit different had an the intervention with people that are making good use of our shelter system heres some of the system graphs places for growth you know often based on the great work that is done already this is part of the idea of the new department that we experimented to a point we know we can do more by corresponding our efforts we corridor the entry with the homeless in the housing with our veterans effort and working to bring that cooperated entry model to single dulls and rapid rehousing is director was explaining so successful with the families were really not bringing it to scale like we can he can do it with other populations weve seen it work in other counties a county wide database that ties the communities together and makes assessable the programs for people to end their homelessness not silos of programs within our Provider Community or within our departments but really a client based system and part that have is having cooperated database and also you know helping people move out of the expensive interventions that are right sized for their needs helping people move out of the supportive hours when appropriate and when we can give them dont under the circumstances. Mr. Dodge. Why not go ahead. This is our department timeline right now weve done a director search with entries around the crisis and making our decision the mayor is weighing options the ideas to do transfer the function with the budget and continue with the Strategic Planning when we get everybody together with that, ill answer questions. Mr. Dodge first of all, thank you for your work this topic youre doing an amazing job in that a year of transition and all the planning to thank you there are two things in terms of of the bar chart and spending i think one of the things that gets talked about i think we need to do a better job of saying this is as new spending every year if we dont do this the families will be on street and adds a sixth number to the theres people are saying gosh were spending it is in a defensive position if we didnt do that what would happen and lastly i hope at some point we remove the Supportive Housing i think that is right way to talk about it and certainly to build the housing ladder in the city and Going Forward supervisor yee. Thank you mr. Dodge thank you for your work and coming out to district 7 for our housing summit to end homelessness i think that was very helpful for people to here the prospective on that a couple of questions that note at that particular meeting but it was actually a few days later people wanted to talk about homelessness when i had the experts to answer the questions a couple of questions maybe you can help me or think about this they the question i asked director about benchmarking how are you seeing assess in your programs as we move forward because there it comes from the prospective like oh, were spending a quarter of a billion dollars how do we measure that. Thank you, supervisor we have been looking at outcome based success measures i mean the Homeless Services is one of these unique social crisis categories with you end homelessness and hope poem to stabilize and return to housing youve had success part of our work with the Navigation Center to have a weekly dashboard to look at the indicators and the macro indicators how many people have we housed and where are people in the housing supreme and the timelines for success and how will we can work on the steps this is part of the goals to really bring our whole system to have a predictable model to look alive as we go how are we are doing is there interventions a lag or gap in the services you know we want to really make sure were allocating the right interventions to the right populations people experience homelessness in a variety of was but the most tells me indicators the time that people are homeless it is very exists we have a small group of people that have homeless history of a decade or more and we need real and deceptiveness intervention we have a large group of people that experience short bouts of homeless and the shelter can help many people catch their breath and return to the mainstream of life to make sure were allocating the right resources to the right populations and our ultimate measure of success our appointing count how many people are experiencing homelessness and how many people are experiencing homelessness in the shelters that looks at the broadly context you know the state of california and the nation there are some things that blow against us that are hard to defeat but if were making the programs and we are you know giving people the right intervene and we should be able to see significant progress in that appointment count how many people are experiencing homelessness at the same time. I appreciate that i think maybe similar views to supervisor farrell about the support of housing piece and how they explain that it i get a feeling when people think about homeless preservation or homeless helping the hoping we dont consider housing at all it is almost like who is out on the street trying to remove them this is not everybody but a lot of people think that way so that would be helpful for me to explain it for example, for the support of housing we definitely figure out how we can show some success in that my guess the percentage should be divided into Supportive Housing not going back spot streets i would love to have those numbers to explain to people and by the way, to the people out there that think this is the end of where we are supportive of our people in San Francisco the residents with homeless preservation there is we support a lot of legal organizations to help tenants for instance, and that is not part of this but we also as most people have been fighting to have more Affordable Housing built this is also a piece of this because it is all about how we keep people from having to go into the streets so that much of it is about Affordable Housing so if you could break it down more for us. Sure. In terms of even the buckets you were talking about i could explain that better to people. Our Supportive Housing and programs consistently shown well over 95 or 90 percent success rates with all populations so im talking about people that are facing multi extreme challenges in their lives whether they are be physical, Mental Health crisis or Substance Abuse a others we know that housing works we know our communitybased provider meet the people where theyre at and make them successful and help them with their lives when people are connected to the services they do very well and as far as preservation as i often consider rapid rehousing part of prevention and a success rate with rapid rehousing parts of this idea that once our back into our own housing life is important manageable and our supporters work that much better at that point so you know that is scaling the models the interventions we know much work well the cost of shelter and those kind of interventions are nothing Navigation Center is the high cost intervention. Necessary for some people if we take the same cost of interventions whether paying back rents or Legal Services see great dividends people dont return to the shelters or not touch the homelessness again that adage the penny of prevention is true in Homeless Services. One more comment the sometimes when i have in a place i can have more discussion with people that i think i could sort of defy a difference prospective i think i it is actually a lot more affordable and cheaper to do the work as you put someone in jail. Oh, yeah. I mean in the real amazing work that the department of health has been doing with their highest utilizers in the system someone is out on the street and maintaining their existence can be 60 or 80,000 a year rather than getting them into Supportive Housing manage this complex issue much better for 20,000 a year so making those kinds of trades it is important the doing the right thing and we have the capacity we cant do it all at once but moving toward a system that helps people return to housing with the kind of supports to be successful in the interim there is situations on the street we need to respond respectfully to also ways that help address the you know a safety and Homeless Needs for the entire community including those experiencing homelessness with the department we stepping forward to build the system to respond to the people in homelessness. Supervisor kim. Thank you supervisor yee. You know what i thank supervisor farrell and supervisor yee you touched on the question and feedback we get so much from the neighborhood meeting we spent out this money on homelessness and how is it effective it is getting worse so how do you breakdown it is 40,000 per homeless person how come not making that work and it helps us to know that chunk is housing people. You cant count that towards the 6 seven hundred people that live in the shelter but that would be helpful to the residents to understand as we grow this budget and their investment on homelessness how we spend those dollars even on a personal was not accurate way to understand how to address homelessness but that would be helpful to us were often at the meeting answer those questions and two ive had this conversation with you, you used to work in new york city the other city were we often compared to with homelessness how come new york city is to good to a would be good to get a comparison on how we and i dont recognize addresses it. In the category of 55 million in the intervention like shelters and trickle housing and drop in centers the vfth in new york city is over billion dollars they we have a nightly shelter capacity of other than 13 hundred and people they have a nightly capacity of 60 thousand it is hard to understand but people understand that 200 person shelter a large shelter you escape that up to 60 thousand and you know there are shelters in every simple neighborhood in new york city so go theyre a little bit of a difference in their state constitution which is a effected with lawsuits that entitles people a right to shelter people are. Right. To shelter and have a right to get both a shelter bed that night it is an expensive are system and a difficult shelter respend a lot of money that is it is a comparison theres in the comparison that really needs to be made you get a few feet of snow in new york city and the summers are not easy there is a flash rain and high humidity so it is a very diversity context than california as far as what it takes to live outside so speaking to that i think that is better to compare apples to apples and not the 42,000 we spend 45 million on outreach and shelters and drop in centers in comparison to nobs new york city that spends a billion dollars whats the Homeless Count the Homeless Count on the street is around 3 and a half thousand their Homeless Count overall is over 60 thousand. Right. So living on the streets is 35 hundred in shelters about 60 thousand San Francisco what you say i thought that is 16 hundred shelter beds but 13 hundred including the Navigation Center. Oh, yeah. If you include the family shelters. It is 16 hundred. So we have roughly 16 hundred in shelter and minus that is 67 hour count on the streets is 5 thousand. No our count ones the street a 35 hundred we do a robust count compared to office of the city administrator communities we look at the parts of the system of care whether that is residential treatment or people in hospitals trickle housing, even jails and so thats the distribution of where people find themselves. Roughly 35 on the street and 6 seven hundred in the jails and not permanent Affordable Housing. Right. Yeah. It that would be helpful to get a breakdown i think of more the apples to apples to take out Supportive Housing i dont think people think about spend on homelessness it is but it would be good for people to have a more contextual lists in how were spending how money. Thank you anyone else thank you very much all right. Thank you. Is this the end of the Human Services aging and adult i dont have a list come on up. Good afternoon. Supervisors director the department of aging Adult Services and we want to commend give a brief overview of the department and talk about some of the efforts that we are undertaking in each the divisions the first one in our Largest Division in the department is home support United States of america is a nonnecessarily inhome care for elderly at risk of institutionalization most of the people 74 percent are seniors age 65 and offer 40 percent of guys inhome care live alone over half of that are Asian Pacific islanders 52 hers percent and most of clients are chinese 62 percent and looting the caregiver 19 thousand caregivers in the program and 62 percent are providing care for a Family Member and in 2016 ihss providers were protected in the fair labor standards act that means they are entitled to overtime and travel pay pay for travel between clients and theyre also paid for waste time when theyre waiting for a decrease appointment that is really created a lot of Washington High School within the Community County and particularly the way the states implement theyve done in in a collection way there are a lot nuances in terms of how it is rolling out i think one of the things i want to talk about that today is the real looking at the way the social workers provide assessments in the community and trying to use the social workers in a productive manner meaning theyve saelsz for in home hours this is a real opportunity once a year could look at other things the clients need one of the things weve implemented the survey we looked at the numbers from the Security Task force of the number of older adults who live in hunger we are like this is a great opportunity to kind of capture those folks and other ways to get nutrition to them outside of ihss so weve implemented that and probably have results around with that what that looks like in the next year or so tracking that two other things we are doing screening and the initial depreciation screening for people not go social workers our staff went out and did initial screening and report back if they find people that are living at risk in communities we havent implemented that but will do that in the next year a couple of nvn supportive issues and looking at some increase staffing and in Home Supportive Services the Second Division is the protective Services Division that includes Adult Protective Services the conservativeship Representative Public administrator i wanted to highlight the adult protective serves as you know aps investigates the obligations of abuse with elderly and alongside report of selfneglect so as you can see on this slide one of the biggest things that we get in terms of the reports on health and safety and a lot of the health and safety issues are related to hoarding we have is that right one hundred and 70 cases of conformed Environmental Issues in homes labor that is typically our hoarding issues so weve did a study with university of San Francisco that was done in boston we tried an intervention with people with hoarding disorder weve discovered it really takes a lot of effort and time to work with someone with hoarding disorder typically our cases with opened for 39 days and this is just in the accurate for someone is hoarding disorder not enough time so to work on those cases to work with people around managing this disorder we had a lot of collaboration with the Mental Health soefshgs they have good program buses about our social workers working with the individuals item by item and helping to change that behavior. One of the other efforts in this division is the public convert terrors looking at the District Attorneys Office and the Public Defenders Office and the court we are looking how to how to better collaborative between the district and the department of aging Adult Services to remove obstacles for anymore people in the pipeline for conservativeship. A quick look once you get probation officer that situation how do you reverse it it seems a person is getting better. When they police have that a one year conservativeship and the person has theres a place for a jury trial and many ways people can ask to have it look at again and the whole idea behind many conservatorship to keep someone at at at least redistrict in terms of placement or the medication they get and the whole goal always to get them into the community it is a one road at a time and has to be removed and most people in the program at this time are in for 3 years at most this is kind of the average the recidivism once people are into the program is not high the treatment actually works and people go out back 0 into the community. Thank you. The Third Division the the longterm home care specifically we talk about the new critical quality surveillance so the longterm care the community where some of the efforts like the rental Assistance Project Service Connect program and the new itself equality Assurance Program we basically took divisions and put them into one unit and the idea behind that we could our social workers we are seeing people with medical issues in the community and a lot of time those people are ended up in hospitals or not being adequately treated medically so one of the easily ways to get our nurses out there toe we created this unit and 200 and 29 people in the units so far and basically, people are seeing the nurses that help with Health Management for untreated conditions and help are chronic illness. Able to look at peoples medications and see that people are using their medications in the correct way or old message and things like that it is really were putting in a lot of Outcome Measures and not a lot of results but should have in the next few months we firmly believe that will help with people being not limited to to hospitals and recidivism well be tracking and mention is it so something new were undertaking and then the last provision is it in take provision the biggest thing that is really our Community Piece we have our daasw intact hub that we created and all the Community Services contracts and in we opened you received an invitation and provided representation and that basically is a way that people with our public site for people to get assistance but a way were integrating well, i think with Human Services agency this is a Service Center for medical eligibility and our focus is really the seniors with disabilities and making sure they get the services a between the guest and our daas information for assistance and Adult Protective Services meals intact so well have a lot of data whether there and reporting that out in the next year. And then i wanted to point out that last year, we really greatly increased the amount of nutrition because the money that was pout into the mayors budget but from the board weve been able to really increase the number of meals and on the home delivered side i think that is about it for right now unless you have questions. Thank you. Any questions. Seeing none, thank you very much next up is michelle from the office of early care and education i want to tell everyone this is my favorite office. Thank you, supervisor. Im michelle the Deputy Director of the office of education were a Young Department 2 years but in the office weve been working in the office for many, many years and collectively hundred years of experience we have an amazing Early Education system in the city but theres certainly room for growth in terms of the lining of resources and streamlining those who are providers and for families to improve access to highlight quality care as a family selfsufficiency is a fail support and to help families go to work in early ed preparation to make sure that children on fiscal are ready to learn in that next year of 20162017 were going to the next phase of Office Taking on the region of the p f a shifting from first 5 to the office we had the money in the budget last year but the Actual Administration of the payment was administrative code weve been working with the first 5 to and then the processes and train up and that administration is moving over to the office along with the several of the first or of the p f a key position were leaving two positions to manage the Quality Improvement support and assessment process and coaching oversight and in this current year we complete a analysis of the care and Education Funding in San Francisco about almost wolfed Million Dollars comes through the office now in the coming year but a lot of those dollars bypass the city to providers so a lot of the work is about all the rules and limitations of the federal, state requirements around those dollars and even worse the rates that that our providers are expected to provide high quality care with the sprucedup reimbursement rate and working with the providers and laying funds to try to keep their doors open and try to improve quality those 0 subsidize lots with the low income children in the city we want to make sure that theyre able to assess hi quality that, of course, analysis gives us guidance about how we are financing and recommending how to streamline how we fund our providers and how we finance the subsidy of children so well be looking over the next year at options on how to implement that the basic recommendations from the San Francisco analysis is two hundred and 3 page report but the basic recommends were incorporated into the plan that was presented here at a hearing two weeks ago and were wrapping up the written report, of course, youll receive in those the fiscal analysis recommended really funding programs up to the base level of quality of tier 3 of the quality rating and what it would cost to finance the programs and then regarding the quality with quality enhancement loaf that for the quality not just what were doing now over the next year well be doing a Quality Support process evaluation to see if there are more efficiency in the Quality Support and working with our provider communities and with parents and our contractors so the citywide plan that was presented to the board really includes a number of aspirational overarching where weer heading with the comprehensive system and with parity for teachers from k through 12 a heavy lift but certainly there is a teacher crisis in early ed right now difficult for our programs to attract teachers and keep teachers here when someone in from time to time theyll be a preschool teacher in from time to time we are investing a lot in training and coaching and Quality Improvement and we have great providers in the city and we want to keep our teachers here so and theres a number of recommendations in the citywide plan, which i wont go into great detail but ill be happy to share outside of this Budget Hearing and over the next year the office of care and education is charged in from the ordinance in collaboration with the first 5 San Francisco Unified School District to develop an evaluation strategy for that all the e. C. Services in the city and we know that one of of our i our challenges is integration to understand what is working and not working we need to align our and integrate our workforce register with the child enforcement and quality database to see where the inputs and how the children are doing one of our measures of success is the kindergarten observation that will happen at kindergarten do we want to know the children that be doing well and what children has input with what teachers and sponsored in various was were move the needle on quality and especially a happy to share the progress were making on that another time but did want to share a snapshot of what subsidize types of enforcement we have that are being funded by the Office Currently so this represents a little over 86 hundred children some of those are state funded and some local podiums that weve developed that are categorical like the access assess program for homeless and the Childrens Services for foster children and children served through hsa and an over laptop of the program because those programs are in trouble primarily because the state being insufficient but swimming upstream to address that from the state is pga a regional rate our local dollars would go further in supported quality. And the next the last slide is just two different slices of what the occ budget the first slide our budget by fund source and the second slide is how those Funding Sources are drbltd into program areas. And with that, i will close and ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Okay. Any questions. I dont have any questions. But thank you for your presentation.

So my Department Priorities Going Forward a staffing we have been phil a lot of positions on overtime in fact, a number of overtime reemployment from permanent salaries a overtime in order to keep up to do the jobs we perform for the city and county seso one of the priorities to hire from the community and also as you may know zuckerberg San Francisco general is opening a hospital and asked us to staff that so well hiring may or may not when we hired the sworn staff takes 6 to 8 months ago to get potato people to work they go to the academy and because of that theyll not be available for some time weve begun to hire that to be able to serve the people of San Francisco the way we should some of the reforms not just reforms some of them are running to fundamentals with the training and education and some of the education will do diversity is exponent we have other exploring and things of that nature were asking for funds to do this training for supervisors and manages not mandated but in my view when our Holding People acknowledge you need to do that and our first line supervisors are the people responsible and others training a training for the staff in crisis intervention tran has given as a minimum but try and cover the whole department and that includes the deesclation techniques as well as on the department of health be able to provide more informational Substance Abuse and Deputy Sheriffs working in our jails im looking at other audits of the internal affairs unit is doing i think we need to put resources but make sure im targeting the right resources and also want to make sure i can be transparent about the types of discipline and the discipline we provide and also the results of these those investigations and as well as im looking at the information and Technology Services to make sure theyre performing where they should we, pull the data out of our systems and make sure we can make sense of it and provide find the work in a way that is efficient one of the new positions im asking for a position for the jails that means someone that is like youve seen in a hospital someone that works with the jails behind the scenes finding out the kind of care kind of reporting to the top and making sure we are doing with we can to make sure were providing the services that are protecting the people and the Constitutional Rights as well as making sure were providing proper care medical service and day to day items and the other final one thing in the reforms the body worn cameras and fixed cameras we are talking about 60 body worn cameras and county jail our linear not a lot of cameras in position well i couldnt store addition but like to move forward with and another priority is Capital Improvement particularly retroactively county jail two on the as you may or may not know were working through the reenvisioning trying to close the county jail at some point in order to do that well have to renovate county jail two and renovate the laundry and make sure we have jails predicament ability to spate people predicament to the division but that jail was built in 1994 and opened as a work furlough not the high standards from the jails have had in terms of security other priority continue the services to subtle your projects programming for prisoners inside and out in the community and to categorization which includes an alteration 7 people to prearrangement Assessment Program called the supervised prerelease b will get a new name were using a risk ascertainment uniqueness with the drvrz and the adult probation. Commissioner. Before you go to the next page. Excuse myself for one minute ill be back we dont have a quorum i need to stop the presentation for one minute. Would you like to take a recess. Yeah.

One okay welcome back to the budget and finance committee thank you very much for the little recess sheriff hennessy continue. Well, i did go back and did you have a question or continue. Go ahead and continue. Okay so this page talks about our scorn hiring and separation sponsor the last new years youll see differences were blow quite a bit so the department has an increase in hiring authority by a reduction in overflow room over two years it will take two years to capture with the so the department is holdings two Academy Classes for the personnel to fill vacant positions and the department will hire 31 for the San Francisco general building that includes 16 cadets and Deputy Sheriff with an analysis by was in the department for over thirty years and proud of the department for recruiting a number of people of different ethic nights in our department and doing that for years and years and seconds we have quite a good representation from the community of different ethic nights and thirty percent white and 18 percent africanamerican and aps i think 340 percent and hispanic we have 18 percent and it is like that for a number of years there were were falling short in my opinion from females on this 16 percent one time close to thirty percent well be working on that as well but the budget request expenditures the largest amount of money to staffing as general and im not going to read the slide if you have any the questions on this slide ill just move on. And the request by division as you may know the Sheriffs Department operates the jails and include a number of other things but mostly the jails and the field is patrol and city hall is one plays and the laguna honda and is clients we provide Field Operations and Programs Division does all the work for other programs that we do inside and outside of the jails f prisoners and we have a facility equipment facilities that goes to 5 percent. So for instance, 5 keys is would be under programs. 4 keys is selfsupporting a great thing about 5 keys it is a Charter School through ada adult tenants the daily is 5 keys not an limping line item in the thats one of the things they dont a lot of the workout in the community. And finally i think i workout too fast we have grants we have right now and one of the newer grants is the offender transitional housing we were talking about housing in other city departments but were housing through support of collaboration with the community we design to reduce coliseum recidivism and the eligibility for this grant is through the misdemeanor it provides mentor to make sure that people have Supportive Housing that is key introduce the process and an anti drug that is responsible for providing linkage prior to release from custody so we have that as well and different care programs that work with the various programs like the citrus focusing a lot on Substance Abuse and trauma and getting people into the community thats the eva quick overview of the department the department is large it is as you may know and theres a lot of that gondolas that is complicated and intertwined i thought id give you the overview for today.

Okay, i think tom maguire, the director of the sustainable streets of the San Francisco mta will update the committee on vision zero related centiliters at the state and national level. Mr. Maguire . Frjts thank you, commission necessaries, thanks for the chance to be here to talk about this topic today. I think we all know that San Francisco has been a National Lead ner the vision zero movement, that was apparent to my colleagues and i this spring as we attended a couple of meetings around the country, we talked to other city nas are on the path to the zero vision commitment. Earlier this mo nlt, sftv, dph and the mayors staff attended the vision zero mayors conference, it brought together leaders from industry, government, ak dmaoem ya and advocacy to talk about effective strategies for implementing and achieving vision zeros in american city, we saw sessions on speed cameras, improve thing ways in which Government Works with advocates and ways to hit and run nesz data and technology to improve the date to of the street, we attended the first meeting to have vision zero network, leah shan put this together, we brought together 10 cities from around the country, austin, boston, chicago, portland, San Francisco, washington dc, and we are beginning to Work Together in a collaborative way to share best practices, address roadblocks to vision zero and find ways to make vision zero more a national movement, so San Francisco continues to lead and we also continue to learn from other cities around the country that have set this ambitious goal, so thats the vision vao er row citys conference. I also had the opportunity in february to attend a meeting put on by the national highway traffic administration, the administrator was in San Francisco asking leaders from government and public h eflt to share sfrat jis for improving what he calls behavior change, everything from antismoking campaigns to seat belt campaigns to figure out how the federal government can get engaged in sending Strong National message to drivers about how to drive safely and achieve the goal that is we in San Francisco call vision vao er row, thats my report on vision zero at the state and national level. Im just curious, when you get together with these different cities that are implementing vision vao er row, do you have a see of how much they spend to get to vision zero . You know, i dont have a spefng apples to apples number that i can compare to what we spent in San Francisco, we spent about 9ed. 5 Million Dollars on the first 24 and 24 project that we completed earlier this year. I do know that many cities are at different place ins the vision vao er row journey, some have made the commitment, some have put together a Multiagency Group like we have, some have leveraged really strong advocates as well, so i dont have a direct answer, its something we could be able to research and come back to you. Especially if yu break it down into not only the engineering enforcement that are hard to break down i guess, but the education piece, Public Education on the [inaudible] it would be interesting to see how much each place spends probably to be fair, how much did they spend per person, you know, obviously new yorks going to possibly be spending a lot more money. Okay. Any other questions . Okay. Do we take Public Comment on these things . No questions, so thank you very much, mr. Maguire, any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Mr. Clerk, can you call item number 4. Item 4, next generation of vision zero projects, this is an information item. Its you again. Sorry. Okay, so we talked about whats happeat the national level, we also know that right now as we look at the projects we want to do in 2016, were certainly looking back on a year in 2015 when we did not see a drop in the number of fa fatalities from 14 to 15, so we lost the same number that we did in 2014 like we did in 2015, were not fast enough with our project delivery, we see the Driver Behavior is the leading cause, fail tog yield, speeding, red light, nothings changed there, we know we did get a lot of work done in 2015. We have increased the number of citations, were focused on the five, we put out engineering treatments, Something Like 1500 small and large treatments as well as completing more than the 24 and 24 that we made the commitment to back in 2014, so looking ahead at 2016, the last time we met, you asked us to come back with a list of projects across all the vision vao er row disciplines and have that be something we continue to track through this committee in the years ahead, our focus in 2016 is trying to get a handle on excessive speeding, youll see throughout the presentation that we want to focus engineering, education, policy and enforcement efforts on controlling those excessive speeds, those drivers going 10, 15, 20 miles over the speed limit, were so disproportionately at faults nr the fatalities we see on the street. So, i want to go through the next few slides, these are highlights of the longer list that we distributed as part of the meeting packet. We want to give you a flavor of the engineering enforcement, education and evaluation project that is we have under way in 2016 and 2017. One thing we talked about last time is some of these are projects that are quick turn around time, projects well get done in the year 201617, other are streetscape improvements, for instance, the ma sonic street gate project that we will break ground on this june, thats not going to get done in 2016, thats a multiyear project, there are throughout this presentation the key milestones we think we can deliver over the next two years and these projects span every supervisorial district fwh the city and they span everything from bike ped improvements, road diets on streets like turk, things like the radar speed feedback sign, something thats been specifically requested through the participatory budgeting process in district 7, so again, wide range of projects and wide range of neighborhoods and well be reaching major milestones and or completing these projects in 2016, 2017. On the unfortunate side, we are really excited that San Francisco Police Department is going to begin a pilot of east citations with the traffic company, this will streamline the reporting of crash data from the field and really help improve standardize the date da and help us get a handle on crashes and collisions in a much more robust way. We also have an aniseed campaign, well have a presentation on that later in the agenda today. Excuse me, just a quick question. You explained the key citation, what does that mean. Key citation iss the ability of the officer to write a citation from handheld smart phones as opposed to writing the citation, the quality of the data is much better. On the education front, we have a number of targeted campaigns happening this year, we have a specific issue with motorcycle speeding causing crashes, so we secured some funding for to launch a Motorcycle Safety education campaign, Funding Community based organizations to do some neighborhood based culturally appropriate Safety Education to seniors, of course the safety town project will be complete, the department of public works is working on it, so a wide range of approaches to education as well. On the evaluation front, weve always said that vision zero in San Francisco is a data driven eft so were going to continue to invest in the tools that prioritize our investments based on data, well be updating the high entry data, thats where 72 of our collisions take place, the Health Department did that groundbreaking work in 2014 and were going to update that network to make sure we are always working with the most recent collision data as we engineer vision zero projects, also updating transbase and that helps us link records from places like San Francisco General Hospital with what we learn from police crash reports and on the policy front, it is our goal to secure sponsorship for the ase enforcement bill, in 2015, we did make some progress on this, we did not get a sponsor, we drafted legislation, we had 22 letters of support from organizations around the city and around the state, and our goal in 2016 is to move towards introduction of the bill in december, 2016 so we continue to did outreach with a number of interested groups, teamsters, triple a, Law Enforcement, Public Health, group that is are specifically interested in privacy issues to really get all the feedback that we need to find sponsors and get that legislation moving in december, 2016 t, so thats an overview of what we are proposing as our vision vao er row priority project list for 201517. Thank you. Supervisor kim . Thank you, chair yee. Thank you, mr. Maguire for the presentation. I had two questions. One, you know, i wanted to know your thoughts on what the strategy was to get an author for the state legislation in 2016 because i know weve now tried for two legislative cycles so weve done the letter writing, we reached out to potential sponsors, wats the thinking of how well get it on the docket next year. I would like to let my colleague to come up and answer that question. Shes spearheading that campaign. That is a 60 Million Dollar question, so we have been working very consistently in moving forward, i think in educating a Larger Community outside of San Francisco on the benefits and the proven practice of automated Speed Enforcement, that is not simple or a linear path as weve come to learn. I think its been critical in continuing to educate both our delegation as well as interested other members of the legislature that advocates have been at our side. I dont think that us alone really would have been successful and so we i think the progress that i can really point to is that we have sat down with the opposition and heard exactly what concerns they have who are they . Im speaking specifically about the teamsters who have had a traditional i wouldnt call it an out right opposed position on this specific proposal but really the issues that relate to the use of cameras in general for enforcement, and so weve been sitting down with them, i think a lot of the work that has happened here with unions in general has really helped open that dialogue to one where theres an openness of mind to have a conversation, to listen to why we continue to believe that this is a tool that San Francisco needs to have. In addition to that, again, with the advocates at our side, i think a good deal of influence and pressure has been brought to our own delegation and i think we feel confident that members of our own delegation, i dont want to speak for them at this point, but feel pretty positive about a willingness to introduce a bill and when tom says december of this year, that is the earliest that we could see [inaudible]. I understand that, so who could you mention who has expressed interest in introducing in december of 2016 . Weve been talking to Assemblymember Chiu chu and this year to get into the process, we were working closely with the city of san jose and we were really taking their lead at this time and working with members of their delegation and the end of the process by which we needed to have an author, they decided they werent ready, and so there was not much time left and i think that our delegation has seen what it means to westbound on camera legislation in sacramento. Has there been do we have Coalition Members and advocates and other city members to help us do a multiprong approach, so san jose is working on their representative, were working on assemblyman chu, l. A. Is the other major city i assume that might be interested. L. A. Is not there yet on the camera proposal, they are looking at rebooting on how speed limits are set in los angeles, theyre focused on speed, it came to our attention last week that the city of coranato had a Unanimous Council decision to enforce Speed Enforcement, the city of sacramento in the last month has adopted vision zero commitment, so for all of us, its not happening fast enough, but i think, you know, each path that we take at this, i think as im talking here, we had a positive conversation with the California Association of Police Chiefs whose members are also eager to have this tool, so thats a sort of short version of the play by play, and thats where its at. Is there kind of a calendar of Different Things that we plan on doing between now and december . Yes. And then the one thing i remember from attend thing vision zero conference in new york city was how they were able to lower the speed limits in new york city was through intensive outreach by families who have lost someone due to a vehicular collision and they spent a lot of time going up arranging office visits, i mean, this is the time to do it, so between march and november, having families set up appointment, even if the office isnt free until may, june or october, at least you get those dates in and families are able to share their Actual Stories and im not if theres hearings on these issues where people can come up and speak on Public Comment. So, those are all things that should be part of any work plan that has tactics that are going to be successful, i totally agree with you and weve talked extensively with nicole and her team at walk sf in mobilizing those units, if we had an author in november, we would have started that in november, a lot of behind the scenes stuff that we couldnt do, here we are and we have a commitment with the citys lobbyist to start engaging in those kinds of pelting. They dont have to be hearings, they can be individual meetings with legislators and with members of the administration, so but i think they still do have hearings that with open Public Comment. I think you need to start that campaign now because it seems like its not just enough to get the votes for the bill, you need to do that to get some authors on board. Have you sat down with aclu . Theyre next, we know we have entrees into that realm, we are trying to be strategic in how we start taking amendment tos the bill so we dont have five different versions of it out there, but they are very much at the top of the list as well. Great. My next question is back to mr. Maguire, thank you so much. Thank you. And that is im sorry if i might have missed this in the beginning, but i know last year, you know, with we announced that we were able to successfully finish 24 projects pie lots, that we had requested the next set of list for the next 24 months, and i know that you have the priority projects like the arguella bike lane and the turk street diet, im curious where the next 24 projects are and what that looks like. N the board packet today, we have a list of i believe its about 40 projects that were proposing would be that list that you asked for in december. Okay. Then i guess my question is what is the safe routes to School Project exactly . On page 8. Yes. Hello, my name is mike, [inaudible] im with the engineer with the group. That project is to complete a project thats currently under way if you go out to tenderloin, youll see some curbs being worked on, were adding bulbs out and adding work. Just on turk street . I believe its foe curds on turk, there may be a project on another intersection too, i believe theres at least two intersections on turk street and i would have to confirm the other location. Thats great, i hear about a lot of conflict on that corridor or that block as well. And [inaudible] i notice that some of them are to complete conceptual design, some of them is to complete construction, complete construction, and i absolutely want to expedite completing design, i think obviously thats a key piece of it, but i do want to clarify that i think when we talk about what are these expedited projects that we really mean complete construction, so i think its still good to have that comprehensive list of 40, but it would be great to know that there was 24 projects where we expect to complete construction in the next 24 months. Okay. Thank you. Supervisor campos . If we can go back to thank you, mr. Maguire, for the presentation, great work. On the automated Speed Enforcement, maybe if we can go back to that issue. Is that like a red light camera type thing, is that sort of how it works . How does it work. Er were trying to make a distinction between those because red light cameras have different couldnt verse ris, but the way that the proposal that we have would be to take images of license plates only, this proposal that San Francisco has been advancing is one that would be decriminalized in essence, its not a moving violation so, the images that are recorded are first triggered when the speed violation occurs and the photograph is taken of the license plate. I think we have to be careful about these things. I mean, i dent necessarily think there is or maybe im just its just me, but i think that we have to look at the privacy concerns and the desperate impact that some of these strategies have on certain communities. So, i dont know, you know, sort of where this falls in the efficacy of enforcement and sort of spectrum of what tactics makes sense, but i think that we need to be careful about this and i dont think it should be a given that everyone on this board will simply say yes, it does make sense bah i dont think we even have that discussion in terms of collectively as a board have, have we voted on automated Speed Enforcement . Its a policy in the adopted vision sao er rho action strategy. Were going to go down this path of pushing for this, i think we need to have more discussion on that because i think there are privacy concerns. There are, and i will say this to you, that is absolutely one of the top three issues that comes up whether the debate happens on automated Speed Enforcement in general, and the approach that and privacy in general, whether its clipper car data or other forms of personal data, the language that we have taken is lang language that is specifically prescribe hated the images could only be used for the purposes for which they are gathered if i can call it in shorthand, i hear what youre saying. The problem is you have a thee roy and you have a practice, if im an undocumented person drive ining the mission, what is that mean in terms of the chances that without me knowing, a camera could take a picture of my license plate and given to Law Enforcement and ending up in the wrong hands and even though certain things are not supposed to happen, weve had examples as recently as a few weeks ago of someone who was reporting a stolen car who ended up in detention, so i think we need to be careful about this stuff. Noted, thank you. So, in looking at the list of projects, i received a letter from i think one of my maybe my constituents, either that or hes in district 11. He pointed out that weve talked about this before,
