Is one that has been a lot of talk about water sheds and echo systems and other things that are important to see. The kids dont often have an opportunity to see close to home. Again a city kid doesnt get very often to see where food comes from. The idea of letting kids see where vegetables come from and getting their hands dirt is something that is important to all of us in the city as parents. It would be great to have this model. I understand the property is already in escrow. I understand there is some hope that something can be done. I encourage you to do what you can do to acquire that property if possible. Thank you. Thank you very much for being here. Is there any other Public Comment . Hi, dave. David, i havent been here in a while. I wanted to model the puc fashion part of the add campaign which has attracted a lot of attention and which is all to the good. That was item 1. Item 2, i wanted to reference the announcement yesterday about the delta conservation plan and the tunne
I want to thank the members of sfgovtv jonathan and john and clerk linda wong. Mr. Clerk any announcements. Roll call vote of the commission. There will be no separate discussion of these items. The agenda items today will be for next tuesday. Okay. Ill tell you what call item one item one is on an update inform the Police Department 20142015 and 20152016 and thanks chief suhr. I have my chief Financial Officer the deputy chief of admin and Deputy Carolyn welch. So first, i want to thank the Mayors Office for their assistance and the controllers staff moraine and our commissioners for advocating two years ago for the good stable budget this the the second piece that includes our hiring plan thaifl the board of supervisors approved. The overview very quickly budget hiring plan updates and building safety update and Capital Improvements projects and well talk about cars. The 20142015 budget all refunds revenue 3 million plus a combination of general funds that include the 45 million in p
That 640 number is on the high end of the 688 versus in the middle of the 481 to the 688 bed range. Im wondering if Deputy Sheriff friedman or miss kaylor could address that question. Well, to go to both issues that you have raised, the use of what we call alternatives to incarceration or to presentence release programs are well established, well in place, have been for some 20plus years and will continue to be used. And in terms of ultimate bed count for the replacement facility, we continue to work with Controllers Office and the jail Planning Team to regularly review what the appropriate number is. Then i definitely understand the need for fiscal feasibility, especially given the need to rebuild with a pod system versus the linear system that miss taylor explained and i appreciate you walking me through san bruno but also the hall of justice facility as well. Part of the budget analysts recommendation was amending it to say that well consider the appropriate size of the jail and the
And option b is the west wing of the hall of justice. So the new facility is going to move from the currently designed to the podular design, moving from the traditional Linear Design to the podular design. I just mentioned some of the benefits of moving from that traditional lineal design to the podular design. Also i think one of the important features with the new design is the Program Space that the sheriff has for the rehabilitation aspect of this jail and also the medical and Mental Health units that would be part of the new facility. Just a few slides to go on the fiscal feasibility office, the Bureau Office already prepared a report. We feel the direct and indirect financial benefits to the cd to brief the benefits of the new facility before the hoj becomes nonoperable, we dont want to ramp up costs, there would be associated costs with temporary jails if, in the event of an earthquake, the hoy becomes nonoperable we would have to find temporary space for the current inmates an
First hand look at how president s operate, that at the end of the day these decisions are for a president to make. So what i wanted to do was to bring my experience and my thoughts about what we should be doing and how we should do them, put it on the table, argue vigorously, but then respect the president s final deliberations that led to his decision. Host you offered some advice to the president. What advice would you give this president or any president when it comes to dealing with Foreign Policy. Guest first of all i believe america is the indispensable nation. I believe we cannot solve all the problems in the world but there are no big problems that can be solved without us. Our leadership is absolutely essential for the kind of country we want and the kind of world we hope so see. So you go into the office with a very sober understanding of the responsibility. Yes, there are challenges, and we see them quite vividly on the front page today, but there are also great opportuniti
