Okay we have regina from the Small Business commission sorry the rest of the team. Sorry briefly good morning chair farrell and supervisor tang and supervisor yee im the legislative aide to supervisor campos thank you for scheduling this item on todays agenda as you may know San Francisco voters passed property tax in 2015 to create legacy businesses and a Preservation Fund for social and currently significant those fund will help chinatown and cafe sanchez and others unfortunately due to a number of issues they did office of Small Business has not be able to disperse but my colleagues, can we take that same house, same call . Colleague will talk about that the 0 resolution will extend the deadline for office of labor standards enforcement for the september 30, 2016, to december 16, 2016, we thank you and ask you for forwarding those items to the full board with a recommendation. Good morning chair farrell and supervisor tang and supervisor yee regina the director of office of Small Business give you a little bit of background on expands on the information shes provided to hopefully address some of your questions so prop j was passed by the voters and established two grant to businesses or were refer to the legacy business the resolution before you is specifically in relation to the Small Business defined in a resolution the legacy business assistants Grant Program allows registered legacy businesses to annually apply for granted during july one and through september 30th and that has the proposition is written fund can be to people that submit applications during this period of time weve had a slow start to the program and underway the Small Business commission has directed the department the office of Small Business to extend the filing period from october one to defenseless 2016 for those two reasons one as of monday october 3rd, 24 legacy businesses 34 businesses that will be in the legacy business registry were anticipating 23 more by december 16th with the intention of prop j we want to give overseeing businesses the opportunity to apply for the grant that the Small Business commission as of monday october 3rd will be finalizing the legacy business Grant Program application and guidelines and so because of this to this date between the july one and september 30th period which is the application filing period that application has not been available for businesses to be able to apply so weve not had any applications to the Grant Program and so while the Small Business commission can direct the department to extend the grant filing period it is only the board of directors that can authorize the department to disperse to the applications submitted during the extended filing period thats why this resolution it is doing should the board of supervisors approve that so like i said the resolution before you and upon the board of supervisors approval will authorize the Small Business commission to disperse fund from the one Million Dollars hfb account the board of supervisors allocated in the 20162017 budget to the department so the dispersed upon the approval of this resolution the office of Small Business will disperse fund to approved applications between october 1st and december 15th just to be clear were not spoke e seeking additional funding through this resolution ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you supervisor yee. Thank you regina just to be clear were extending the filing period for legacy businesses the question is that going to postpone giving any funding to ones that have already met the deadline. No because we are just now going to be approving the application Application Form and guidelines to the legacy business Grant Program there are currently no applications that were submitted between july one and september 30th to so the answer no delay no applications submitted to what were doing by extending the timeline is allowing those businesses that have been placed on see registry and those to be placed on the registry by september 15th to be able to apply for the funding. Thank you. Supervisor tang. Sorry thank you and just to refresh my memory was it the staffing funding. That was in the 16, 17 and then you reauthorized the staffing funding for in the 15, 16 and reauthorized in the 20162017 budget so currently historic Preservation Fund accountability the one Million Dollars you authorized with the 20162017 budget i think the supplemental you may be referring to the supplemental heard before this committee for the 20152016 budget those because theyre not reactivated my understanding those funds did not get put into the Historic Preservation commission account. So thats what were essentially trying to do here today. No, no, no what this resolution is specifically requesting you have to authorize our department to disperse my funding to the legacy business Assistants Program to any plagues that were received after october 30th the way the proposition is written were only authorized to disperse funding to applications received 2w7b july 1st and september 30th but because of delay start to the programming we were not able to one have applications ready for businesses to fill out thats why the commission directing us to extend the application filing period. Okay. Thank you. Does that answer your question so it is authorizing us to disperse the funds that were budgeted in the 20162017 account to this program after september 30th. Great, thank you. Supervisor yee. So the allocation was one Million Dollars at a time and the supplemental that we approved thats now seems like out of play was for what amount . I and that was specifically for the rent stabilization grant different from this resolution for the Business Assistance grant i dont remember that was 200 and something thousand so and just to be clear the one Million Dollars allocated to the historic Preservation Fund account we have yet to do specific allocations this is the first year of funding we want to make sure were appropriately allocating the right amount based the needs and well see that from the application purpose submitted this first time around. Great, thank you. Okay. Colleagues any future questions okay open up for Public Comment anyone wish to comment on item number 3 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed.

Thank you very much. Hello my name is jan eucalyptus im here to ask you to support the prevailing wage for Security Officers ive been working for 15 years for the sfmta San FranciscoMunicipal Transportation Agency which is a city of work site every few years the contract goes to bid thats a concern of mine and my coworkers if we keep our benefits and at sfmta we felt this threat not too long ago weve raised youre working standards the difference working for a union are better wages and better salaries increases we also have job security just cause termination not fireside for no reason a just cause and seniority that alleviates 235i678 in the workplace and a voice through collective banker power were not alone in the bay area it is expensive to live and a struggle to survive if our wages went down to minimum wage or lost our benefits there will be an increased struggle for myself i work 6 to 7 days a week if any wage went down to minimum wage i see myself easily working 16 hours a day im asking you to go, please support prevailing wage for Security Officers thank you. Thank you, mr. Cost a. Good morning ladies and gentlemen, my name is juan im here to talk about the security api ive been in security for t the defendant to let you know were finishing our contract with dpw were in an unpredictable contact that is day to day so the thing is you know were concerned about all the Security Guards that have no union which is the ones they dont have no Health Benefits and theres a lot of Small Companies in the city the Security Companies they need a union because those Security Officers theyre relying on themselves they dont have a health or dental plan and they need to have those union so thats one of the concerns i want to share with you today and the other thing is, you know, on behalf of the Security Guards id like to ask you to approve that law which is the prevailing wage that is allow and secure the Security Guards with the Union Officers for the health plans they need and also the dental plan and visible plan they need a lot of Security Officers theyre struggling at this moment with 15 an hour and many of the Security Guards only you know this wage to pay their builds for the family and a lot of Security Officers have more than 4 kids need the Better Benefits and wages to survive ladies and gentlemen, please take into consideration and thank you very much for this opportunity. Thank you. Good morning, supervisors. Im with with the seiu and thank you, supervisor kim for working with us and say a little bit why and how it is happening when the janitors their wages was passed for janitors unfortunately Security Officers were novelist organized to have a good prevailing wage standard in the city so they were left out tgret news theyve raised the standards and quite frankly not where they should be with the prevailing wage that didnt include retirement for Security Officers were at a place having a prevailing wage will help officers who are struggling to get by and what weve seen is that the security nonunion are worst repeat offenders and we need to create a level the Playing Field so that contractors that are responsible and paying good wages and benefits can compete and not investigating having to expedite 19 compete against others that includes the contractors and subcontractors at construction sites City Construction site every workers that are struggling 2, 3, 4 in poverty are the Security Officers quad the sites we want to thank you, again, for moving this now couldnt come at a betterment for Security Officers and will make a difference for hundreds of security folks struggling in San Francisco.

Rose states the District Attorneys Office in track the amount of hours to track and investigate a case not known how many of e how much time to close and a backlog of 20 open officerinvolved shooting incidents but also the District Attorneys Office is identified over 4 thousand cases open due to new materials the staffing was 14 ftes and so i dont know if you can give us more details around the 14 ftes with the new brady material and the officerinvolved shooting incidents. Sure thank you supervisor the 14 there are 6 advertising and 6 investigators and two paralegals into two teams this is people on call if theres a shooting another 2 in the morning or in the afternoon they have to be on call two weeks a month that is beyond what is appropriate in the industry should be more than one time a month thats relatively significant it indicates the employees cant leave the region they cant go to childrens sporting events out of the area and have a glass of wine need to be ready to respond to the incidents it is a significant imposition on their personal life two teams handling those and in addition it 80 that because we understand this work has some fluctuations we afternoon 6 officerinvolved shootings a year and two in custody death a year we looked back to 1997 we feel confident those averages remain constant and for the work brought on many scandals within the Police Department that is currently a backlog of 4 thousand cases as a result with the text rate of interest message in 2015 and we anticipate that work will priority an appropriate day to day work when their in between investigations we dont anticipate theyre being really any downtime we think it will be under asked in our request but modest in our achievement and hope we can use the staff as allotted we dont keep track of hours for robberies and other thing we work for the city and county of San Francisco our people are salaried employees we have done withhold to see how much time our staff is spending every single unit works more than a 40 hour week were satisfied were looiltd the staff we have at hand and indicated to supervisor farrells office well certainly make efforts to try to create some type of tracking form for our paralegals that will be new for us youll have to be understanding of that but we are confident the work is there as it currently exists and will continue to exist were happy to provide documents as we missouri move through the process to show you were having the advertising and staff working. I think that i mean, i think known disagrees with the intents behind what the da is trying to do here but one of the concerns i generally have is this is you know a new unit a lot of staff and, of course, a workload we see for the foreseeable future we certainly hope that in San Francisco those officerinvolved shooting these will be on the decline we have you know different ballot measures in november to try to address those issues so again, were hoping that in the future there will not be a need for more investigations i was trying to say how we track the workload maybe a time we dont need 14 ftes for this work and have something in place to evaluate what that occurs when do we need to flex up and down with that unit. Absolutely thats our hope we dont see those i think every administration and every person in government hopes duran during theyre ten you are hyperglycemia im happy well be staffed by arriving at a point the city in the country didnt have an officerinvolved shooting we need to reevaluate that and the conviction rate will stand and well see the value as was 3r50ed forward but reevaluate if it no longer exists. Supervisor yee. So i know that your department basically made an estimate how many you modestly might need since this new unit basically trying to replace the work that the Police Department was doing internally was there any analysis of how many equivalent workers to do this type of work. Its a not information i have i dont know from the Mayors Office or the Budget Office i can tell you at a crime scene general 20 sfpd thats an envelope not seeing anything nor substantial. So ill reserve that question to the budget analyst so see if they did an analysis of what the staffing might look like. Do we to you have an answer. We have Melissa White house. Thanks so much hi, im melissa acting budget analyst thats a great question similar to the budget analyst we had a lot of the questions about the unit and he had need for 14 staff like supervisor tang and although we stepped on reserves we understand the need for the 14 position and we talked about in the District Attorneys Office the upcoming process spending a lot of time understanding once they show us some of the works implemented and the hours their seeing and the need he think part of that definitely to answer your question looking at the police side did the police needs the same amount of staff knowing some of the work shifted to the District Attorneys Office and can that help fund or a ram down over 7, 8, 9 and really making sure were checking in to make sure the stacking is right at both department. Thank you for your explanation and actually, you you answered my other question i would have asked what impact on the Police Department staffing and whether or not theyll be a reduction or not 415 so ill wait for that analysis. Ongoing mr. Rose, can we go to your report so we can get all these. Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission Im not surprised when a department disagrees with our recommendation but im surprised that a department comes down here and has access to the report in the report by the way, the department only referenced one of our recommendations which was step adjustment should it not reference our salary savings so, now the department this is a minor thing supervisor so for the whole recommendations the report to us two of the positions will be hired on september 26th. Todays data september 28th im surprised the department will not acknowledge a savings of two days more important than that but i think this illustrates something about our analysis in the department and the departments response to our analysis there are first of all, let me go back to page 28 the requested cost of one . 8 million for 20162017 for the new da investigative bill are shown on page 28 of the report now we stat on that page given the release of reserves not released until 2016 by the way, in the Department Tells us theyve hired the positions i hope they dont say that that makes our role meaning less and mr. Gibner said this is illegal to hire before the board of supervisors response we state it is not possible for the District Attorneys Office to hire position in september we also state that the our recommendation would be to add attrition savings with the Fringe Benefits like i said in the budget process is it so extremely modest 200 and 33,000 plus that account for one month delay in hiring of an entire 15 positions im assuming the department didnt hire any positions thats illegal. Can i i want to finish my why not finish and go one by one. The other recommendation the department addressed as far is the step adjustments we note that the salary and Fringe Benefits in the District Attorneys Office proposal shown in table 3 also reflect the hiring of new positions at the hive possible salaries including for the 16 attorney jobs class we state it is unlikely every new hire will be place at the highest place with no advancement or one and 21 plus that is bans we look forward their entire budget of positions already in the budgeted and made a compatible and look at the step adjustment and made a compatible recommendations for the new unit to be consisted with their budget thats how we came up with that we heard supervisors some censure of the compatible salaries i want to state to you, in fact, we looked at the compatible salaries in santa clara and San Mateo County based on the analysis we are recommended that reduces salary steps of one plus which we believe is more than reasonable after looking at in daily of the santa clara and the san mateo salaries for the District Attorneys Office in those jurisdictions we didnt gear it to specific positions for the District Attorneys Office to have fleshth to provide whatever steps we made that has as overall number we felt was more than reasonable to reduce the salaries expended our final recommendation supervisors are on page thirty of our report first, we requested the District Attorneys Office to submit this has to do with with what supervisor tang stated we no idea when we asked for hours im surprised they couldnt give us the hours you think theyll be able to see based on on 12e789 number of cases and hours heres how we came up to the 14 positions that was not done so our recommendation is to submit to the and the budget analyst during the next budget process a documents on the individual staffing housing and expended i assume the department does not disagree i think they want to voluntarily provide that information to the committee for next year to know how many staff they need, and, secondly, a long term staffing plan for the independent changes and caseload and reduce by one Million Dollars plus this is the salary savings and then we say we consider release of that amount to be a policy matter for the board of supervisors and the reason why we still believe it is policy we dont kink how many positions are needed but we certainly accept whatever the Budget Finance Committee decided. I very much proficient our analysis pay supervisor tang questions or comments. Thank you. I wanted to see in the District Attorneys Office can respond to the issue of the two positions sponsored to be hired on september 26th but not yet hired provide an update. Appreciate harveys spirited response thank you for acknowledging that we havent hired but eager to hire hoped to hire as soon as the budget concluded but waiting for the release of reserve we have a date that passed by two you cant see days but multiple costs and relayed that in the conversation with the Budget Analyst Office need to secure vehicles and pay for expert witnesses because this is a project we anticipated well users savings towards those costs and an additional hearing but have costs beyond the costs of staff beyond this unit our anticipation those attrition can help to offset those costs. Mr. Chairman. Sorry one followup do you have something to shows up perhaps how much is it so costing for the expert witnesses so we can compare. U didnt even can share with you. Great. Mr. Chairman and. Yes. Mr. Chairman, and members of the committee. This is exactly what we would expect from the Department Says now they have other expenditures they gave you a specific request for specific expenditures we identified reasonable savings we believe you should continue to reserve we have no problem from the fang they may have additional expenditures but supervisors i ask you shouldnt the Department Request a formal synonyms to bet let the budget analyst and the budget and finance look at the expenditures in the manner weve reviewed those churches and make our recommendations to you at a time. Thank you, mr. Rose you agree obviously it is our role here to get detailed expenses have those costs been shared with the budget analyst. We have copies. No about before have you talked with them. Yes. Supervisor we didnt get at the beginning not made in any formal analysis of those additional expenditures if we had we would have put it in our report. We didnt. Let me Say Something up front. From a policy perspective from us to make a decision about the letters with that said ill pretty much be inclined to see the need and the process is very, very important but here with all due respect doing savings and getting a piece of paper on the day of our approvals that is not what we do at the board we need details where the money is going if we leave it up to the department to save money an xyz thats not what the budget and finance committee is supposed to be doing i again as much as i want to support this package here having to just saying youre right hiring date are wrong but spend it elsewhere thats something i find hard to school swallow with that said, lets go through this and if our budget analyst hadnt seen those numbers im frustrated on that. Chair farrell we shared that in the Budget Analyst Office we indicated those additional costs and additional time to analyze that that maybe a separate question but i apologize for frustration people are feeling we anticipated those costs and hopefully those attrition savings if we need more conversation ill be happy to discuss that. Well use it elsewhere but not told about elsewhere with in analysis. Just to be clear mr. Chairman as you recall in the budget process the Mayors Office budget director submitted a technical amendment to initiative initiate this program and recommended you reserve it you did and specifically reserve was for positions and costs listed on page 28 excuse me yes on page 28 of our report totally one Million Dollars plus so that while the department substantially gave us some information an additional expenditures that was not part of the request that came over the formal request and we didnt evaluate those expenditures because we only evaluated what was count by the finance committee we made our recommendations to come up with some reasonable salary savings and adjustment savings by all means at your direction well look at the costs chair farrell and come back with a recommendation if those additional expenditures are justified. At this. 659 is a supplemental. Sorry. A supplemental of that year. Right even more exactly thats correct. Chair farrell as i indicated were not requesting those fund we priority them to the Budget Analyst Office to help explain why any reduction in the one. 8 is challenging well have additional expenses were assuming in the 20162017 but attrition loss were not hiring vacant positions for other vacancies in our office. The 659 is assuming in your budget. No. Classroom let me make one other point is it so important you heard the Department State that there are some potential savings here they wanted to depends on you wanted to use for any admission of fact they can use those savings for additional expenditures. Might be helpful to hear from the Mayors Office how the positions and funding work and why we have this understanding that those are types of expenses appropriate to you and then decide how to work those. Hi, im melissa acting budget director the way the reason there are technically allowed to do this from the board likes to move forward it was budget it was budgeted in a project and they were off positions at the time, we did run out of time to do an in depth analysis our office didnt have time to look at this detail so there will be time to work through the details and the way it is budgeted in a project there is flexibility not spend it on salary or benefits it is more flexible does that answer your question supervisor yee. Supervisor tang youre on the roster. I understand it is technically allowed i appreciate that and all the questioning is not the questioning the das program why we want those investigators but in terms of the Budget Committee had the expenses for you know to get the Program Start whether it was vehicles or your forensic this information is at least this breakdown is new to us right now. And i indicated were happy to have more conversation around those expenses we shared it with the which we thought to share that that harvey rose office if there is confusion in multiplied directions maybe i can expedite things by saying were happy to have that conversation having this attrition conversation and whether we can move forward without the 9 percent reduction that would be helpful. Supervisor yee and i hate to think im sharing the sentiment as my colleagues but im going in support of budget analyst recommendation to reduce the Salary Amount and put the three hundred or 55 thousand plus into a retail use or reserve to have a thorough discussion of those other expenses in the near future 7, 8, 9. Okay. Colleagues, any questions or comments for the da staff anyone wish to comment seeing nobody else here Public Comment is closed. Supervisor yee do you want to make a motion. Let me say i think were supportive of this item that was put in the mayors budget that we approved last year in last name version cast but we need an analysis where the dollars are spent especially we hear well save it here but spend it here thats impossible to approve lets have this conversation Going Forward and have our budget analyst look at it and have that discussion as a and certainly with the District Attorneys Office we dont want to see this effective in approving that or from my perspective per supervisor yees and making sure we have an analysis how the unit is operating woorld woeld. I appreciate that i wanted to seek an amendment in that recommendation to reserve the attrition savings but release the other one and 22 so we be pursue the highest candidates so for the position purely a staffing conversation not anyone else weve been discussing in the second half. Mr. Rose. Yes. Mr. Chairman, and members of the committee and we had discussions with your office on this thats why we did further analysis on compatible salaries the recommendations were making that are more than reasonable one and 55 thousand enabling the department for step adjustment consistent with their entire budget thats why we made that recommendation your office raised a good question about compatible salaries we documented both and santa clara and san mateo i want to ask one other thing if you take any of your recommendations consider the request this is not an amendment it will be your request that we bet budgetary data for there to make sure we know the hours and the nuke of cases. Thank you, mr. Rose if i wasnt clear that was a clear indication but expect it from the District Attorneys Office. Regarding the salary the top steps will santa clara and san mateo pay higher in a comparison of the salaries across our department is not exactly a apples to apples experiencing comparison were looking for the highest paid advertising not people that pay sail scale is a misdemeanor thats the reason for requesting not having the reduction in the salary. Supervisor tang. Thank you i definitely hear what youre saying on that point highway would be respond to mr. Roses comments if we hired those folks and the top staff and no room for you know promotion opportunities and so forth so we may having challenged in the future with trying to retain them unless another Salary Increase this is something im concerned about. And something we consider and discuses with potential employees we do that when we hire the laterals that come with 20 years of experience they prefer to receive the higher pay knowing we explain 16 is our top step unless a manager no room for improvement unless colas and people prefer to have that paycheck weve managed that thus far not people leaving they were at the top step and numerous people in the office 25 and thirty years prosecutors that receive cola increases at this point top steps for more than 10 years and fortunately in this line of work when a person finds an office committed to they stay condominium entitled District Attorney they leave to santa clara and not having the high cost of living and not to commute but factors we face regardless they pay 20,000 more than we do for their advertising we cant compete but the higher level to attract the civil rights and homicide experience that comes to us with a broad range of skills showing theyve done higher success of trails and only to pay them commemorate with their experience. Okay discussion comments motion. Through the chair im wondering how supervisor yee feels about his original motion any adjustment to that. Im wondering whether or not we could accept the recommendation and change the language what the resermight be if they come back we need to have the proof in terms of the reserve is flexible and other expenses. Yeah. I think heshtly the reserve will be flexible. Okay. Well, i understand that the District Attorneys Office and the set of career youre looking for and your i guess retention of employee is different from other departments i know some of the department if you start them off at top steps well face other issues; right . Im willing to amend make an amendment to supervisor yees motions to the only change to keep the attrition amount on reserve but allow for the extra one hundred thousand so that the new positions are hired at the top step youve asked for. Can i ask a quick question in terms of hiring have you start the interview. Were not able to do that weve been in a Holding Pattern people heard to the media and word of mouth weve received an handful of resumes we were unclear when the positions are available and at what level. So whats the traditional hiring timeline. Attorneys we can hire quickly if any of the people simmered information were compelling and rows to the level of deference id like say two to four weeks of people in the pipeline investigators much longer that depends on if their currently engaged negative impact work and ive not been involved in investigator hiring so i mean what is the average hiring. Maybe 3 months for an investigator. For attorneys and for investigators. Attorneys what about advertising. 2 to 4 weeks. Thats the afternoon we for us we have gaps in our staffing it is incredibly debilitating to our work the process never stops the Assembly Line runs we tend to have rolling interviewing so whenever we have a vacancy we can hire weve had a shortfall were watering to save up enough money to hire but generally, we move quibble an attorney hiring. So part of this were having and i transition savings with one month do you think youll have all advertising hired in one month. No, thats the dmfks conversation we had i guess that is happening two quickly. The savings with with only months of savings. I didnt object. I know is that two months in terms of what should we be thinking those people will come on board if so one month we only takes putdown some on reserve but hire them in two months again need to have adequate information. I think chair will be rolling as soon as we have qualified people i dont expect 16 or 14 people hired in one month not realistic weve not posted the position and do the kind of broad safe haven but expect were hire as many before the end of the year that will go in stages as qualified people come in were make offers. Understand what im saying were at the end of the september hopefully by the end of the year. Thats 3 months. Every other month is 200 and 50 33,000. For all 14; right . So from the average is two months thats do you believe that. Im not sure of the question. Supervisor yee. I think chair farrell is what im seeing is even with the budget analyst when he says that the savings is very conservative i think what chair farrell is driving at inserting and now two anyone wish to comment months before an average so im wondering if that savings without toying with that could be used for highlevel. Basically on the budget analyst recommendation from the average is by the end of youll hire after two months Additional Savings we need to be taking that was the purpose of my question about youre hiring when can we do it realistically todays start date. Okay mr. Rose any other comments. I think that supervisor yee reflects my and your comments supervisor it demonstrates how reasonable your recommendations are. Okay. All right. Ill say you know what id like to sreturnin ill be comfortable approving the budget analyst recommends if we come back here and from the hiring is accelerated and the steps youre hiring people at we want to see documentation if theyre at the top step well release it and forward it not a problem but right now as i see this savings seems to be reasonable and if you can hire folks in two months youll be the record Setting Department i understand the District Attorneys Office workload is commitments to hire quirky hope it happens we can release the fund so im going to be supportive of the budget Analyst Recommendations and revisit in terms of the hire step levels if you hire at the top steps well release those fund appropriately with that, do you want to vote on your motion. Through the chair i guess is it so what supervisor yee motion. You want to make the motion. I make the motion we accept the budget Analyst Report and recommendations and motion by supervisor yee seconded by supervisor tang without objection okay mr. Chair way like to file this hearing. Motion by supervisor supervisor yee without objection madam clerk, is there any additional business to come before this body . Theres no further business. Thank you, everybody, were thank you, everybody, were adjourned man 60inch screen, highdefinition. Football season is coming up. You can watch it right here. What do you think . Ill take it.
