Are most in construction. Its a very good transition for us to move dan from the regional manager to the project director role and i hope that you will support him in his future role endeavors. Thank you. I think you have also answered one of my questions that will this be the last time that we hear from julie. Unfortunately i will be out of town during the last two remaining meetings. That will force me to say nice things now then. I was going say nice things. Let me beat you. First of all, i like to see people getting their just reward. You have given this enterprise and the city far more than a hundred percent for a long time. And you are having the opportunity to move on to a better opportunity i think is just wonderful. We will miss you but i think thats a wonderful thing inform are you. You have managed to inspire us with some of the work that is done for the water work people that is not part of the Job Description and not something that everybody does. You have done that in an
The reentry pod. The work of the chief within our department in our efforts in sacramento has resulted into this nearly 4. 2 Million Contract by the state for us to attend to the ab 109 realignment population in a way that no other county has, but we expect because of the funding mechanisms on how they have predicated with this program as is already begun in a small way without any funding that we expect other counties to follow suit. This was unofficially nag rated 1 year ago today. But because of the bureaucracy of the state, it has taken us a little bit of time to navigate through those fine lines through state and municipality to get where we are before you. Just one thing i wanted to point out to you is that seven 7 years on the Budget Committee serving on the board of supervisors, the budget information before you is critical to help i think arrive at the decision that is before you. But what doesnt always get the kind of attention in those reports is the policy reason why we are
Im thinking that just like weve done with the citywide parks, the scorecard and citywide streets scorecard, i think at some point we have to just try it and get a larger scale input. That being said, the Community Benefits idea, we put a local hire one on there as an example on 9 and there are so many great things that puc does and though greats 114 things we do well, people dont necessarily have time to read that. Whatever the 9 end up being, if we put it on one page people would have the opportunity to look at. Whatever those measures are, we really do want to hear from you that they are the right ones and there are things that show an organization that you can be proud of and are conveying the hard work of the men and women of the puc and doing it responsibly. I guess i would encourage it as you review that to take significance guidance from the public audience. I want to make sure that how we are portrayed is accurate but if its useful for the intended purpose it should be what the
Office for the great work their analyst did in looking at this complicated issue, but to briefly the idea for this reentry pod came from noticing a gap. When inmates are being released from state prison, if there is not a warm hand off, the connection, the recidivism rate the parole was receiving was 78 percent. We have an 85 percent successful completion rate. We started charting those that were object skonding and not showing up. The population had such greater likelihood of not only showing up but being successful in completing their post releasing time if in fact we were able to engage with them ahead of time. We were the first county officers to begin the work but we couldnt send people all over the state. Thats where i got the idea to lets bring them back early and work with senator hancock to work with that to give the county the pilot to do this. I support everything the sheriff said to this being a really Innovative Program and the opportunity to work with the population and g
Word excellence but let the readers decide it. Its not measuring what we are saying we are measuring. So thats a problem. You can change what you are measuring or change how you measure it. Move on to item 6 dhz Customer Service mentioned which is measured by whether you answer the phone in 20 seconds. Without being facetious whether you can use an answering machine. I cant say its quality. Sometimes if we have Customer Satisfaction surveys. A lot of places you call in and you say will you hang on and you hit a survey. If there was some other way of measuring the quality, not that we got there quickly but what the quality of the response was, i think it would be more useful. As to the thing that started all of this which was the rate payer insurance policy. This doesnt help me assess whether we are meeting that policy or not. Todd and i had some discussion about that and as part of the budget process what we are working on is a more detailed response to the policy. My interest was that
