>> supervisor stefani: thank you. i have the same feelings about that as a supervisor he just expressed in terms of keeping it at 1 million right now given the amount we have. i think we have 33 million right now. i don't know if we will be able to grow that a little bit more based on other factors. but based on the citywide ask, and the importance of the ask and everything we've been discussing, i think right now, $1 million is a good start. >> supervisor cohen: ok. supervisor fewer, do you have any thoughts? spee du 1.2 million over two years. >> supervisor cohen: 1.2 million to be allocated over two years? ok. >> supervisor sheehy: so i'm comfortable with the million and, you know, this list. i would enter into a different discussion for additional money, and, you know, at that point we could decide whether we might want to include more. >> supervisor cohen: based on the raw pole that we are leaning towards $1 million. possibly some change. i am looking to the budget director, and i am looking to the controller. yo

supervisor stefani, i see you. >> supervisor stefani: yes, just one more thing. obviously, some of us think differently about this issue, and some of us might be more willing to look at different types of documents to come to a decision, and that's clear. it doesn't mean that i am judging my colleagues for their decisions at all. i happen to feel, like i said, that the months of analysis that were done to produce the document that you worked on after engaging with your staff over months of review and call volume data over months of review and working on the controller's sector control report, for me, that is enough. i understand that's not enough for my colleagues. and also, i want to be very clear that this is an issue that is extremely important to me. and i'm not saying that it's not extremely important to my colleagues at all, but it's one of my number one issues because it's on the mind of my constituents and something that i am well versed in. i'm not saying everybody else isn't well versed in, but i'm just saying this is where i'm coming at it. and it cert

yes, supervisor stefani has a question. >> supervisor stefani: thank you. chief scott, with regard to the foot patrol, i was just looking at northern station, there was 12 there, which i find that shockingly low. i know you're doing your best, and i thank you for that. i'm just wondering what determining factors go into where foot patrol officers are actually allocated. >> yeah. we did an extensive review in operations and basically had through field operation bureau under chief chaplain's operations side of the police department, basically had the district captain identify the areas where they believe foot patrols were needed based on crime trends, based on community demands, based on areas that we know are traditionally high traffic corridors, tourist attraction, those type of things, and basically that's how we came up with -- it was data driven, particularly the crime part. in supervisor yee's district, we talked about the twin peaks deployment and how that had an impact. the tenderloin, we saw immediate results in terms of on view arrests and things th

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: yes, and this is for the controller so i feel comfortable about the audit, what are you looking for? i'd just like it on the record to be sure that we're not politicizing this, that it's a normal audit that you would conduct in the normal course of business. >> that's correct, supervisor. the chair's requested we conduct a review of this function. the scope of that would be to review actual spending in prior appropriations and as the d.a. indicates, some workload analysis of how the workload of this unit compares to the rest of the district attorney's office and other departments engaged in similar work. so that's the scope in mind. i've indicated to the chair that we could likely complete the report by the end of september. we have not had a meeting with the district attorney to set our final scope, but that's how we're envisioning the final timeline looking. >> supervisor yee: okay. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: so just given that the

supervise stefani, supervise sheehy? okay. >> supervisor yee: can i -- >> supervisor cohen: oh, e supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: i've been asking a little bit about this issue also, and i think what supervisor fewer is suggesting is reasonable, to look at something -- other options besides what they're -- the pathway they're taking at this point. the -- i don't understand technology as well as others, but when people talk to me about it and mention things like 5 something -- >> supervisor cohen: 5g. >> supervisor yee: 5g and other things they don't need to dig up holes in our ground, it seems a much better option to me. >> supervisor cohen: miss linda, could you comment on that? >> yust one more comment. regardless of the path we take, we need more information. that's what this year was going to be about. it was going to be understanding the market, understanding the construction that would be needed, and understand the network architecture to be put in place. 500,000 is not going to get us there, so i would say we w

. >> supervisor stefani: thank you supervisor :-colon. i wanted to revisit the conversation about civilianization. i think my colleagues brought up some really good points. anin terms of the b.l.a. reporti just wanted if the chief could come up. i know that in your response to recommendation 5.2, you had outlined or stated that there are 25 positions for immediate civilianization. i wanted to make sure we are talking about the right numbers. the number 68 was thrown out there. i just want to understand and make sure we are all on the same page about what you think you can be civilian honest out of that number that the b.l.a. recommended. and then if you are in disagreement with what they are suggesting to be civilian islands, for us to really understand why. >> yes, supervisor. we took a look at the b.l.a. report. as you stated, there were 202 deemed noncontrolled positions. some of those positions we just don't agree that there was position should be civilian eyes iced. when we looked at the list, they were actually 68 that we felt where

6 community planners, i nominate angela and/or gigi. [ laughter ] i would also nominate supervisor stefani because she has the seat that's closest to the public comment. it has actually been kind of a pleasant, more inclusive board since you've been president. i want to compliment you on that. whoever you pick, i will they will continue that. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> so i'm going to quote from the republican national convention o 2016 when donald trump was nominated. and don king was speaking and introducing him. this is a direct quote. from don king. i told michael jackson, quote, i told michael jackson, if you're poor, you are a poor negro. i would have used the "n" word. that's what don king said. if you are rich, you're a rich negro. if you are intelligent, you are an intelligent negro. if you are a slide and dance nigger, i'm sorry, he apologized for saying it, you are a dancing and sliding negro. you're going to be a negro until the day you die. so if this is offensive to you, i agree. it is offensive. so whoever is willing to remove that statute of abraham li

supervisor stefani. >> supervisor stefani: thank you. i have a few things. i failed to thank chang who also helped me on item 26, and i just wanted to make sure that i show gratitude when gratitude is due. and i just wanted to thank her for working with my neighborhood associations and helping me with that ordinance. and also i want to echo what supervisor safai said and thank supervisor fewer for starting the rally on the steps. it's to stand in solidarity with everyone. to fight back i think is something that we can be proud of here in san francisco. and lastly, i wanted to say a happy ninth birthday to my daughter who's in my office right now. she shares a birthday with our clerk. so that's wonderful. e's 9 years old today, and she's in my office right now. so i wanted to say happy birthday, gigi. thank you. >> thank you. happy birthday, gigi. supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: i submit. happy birthday. >> thank you. and supervisor yee. >> supervisor yee: submit. >> that concludes the introduction of new business. >> president breed: thank you. i've alr

. >> president breed: supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you, president breed. i just want to add i think this a really important piece of legislation and of course as evidenced by my inbox right now, and what supervisor peskin just said, at sunday evening, i was at the home of one of my constituents for two hours talking about this, and telling them i would involve them in this process. as i said it's important for me to have that dialogue with my neighbors. so i feel like if i were to read all of these and understand them, i'm not going to have the opportunity to go back to the people that i've been working with, and i feel like it would be disingenuous for me to vote on it right now. i feel like i'm being asked to vote on something to make sure neighborhoods have notice, yet i'm not noticing them about the amendments. although i think there's things that i agree with, but i'm just not going to have that opportunity to finalize those conversations with everybody that'v been speaking to on these amendments, so i would be supportive of a continuance on this. >>

stefanie wilkerson than first reported. comes from governor huckabee, the father of sarah huckabee sanders who spoke about it to laura ingraham on other radio show. >> the owner of the head hen, because nobody has told this, then followed them across the street called people and organized a protest yelling and screaming at them from outside the other restaurant. last night we went door to door to some other restaurants in town to try to determine whether that was true in fact we got a lot of no comment from restauranteers who just wants to steer clear. the red hen restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows, badly needs a paint job, rather than refusing to serve a fine person like sarah huckabee sanders. i always had a rule, he writes, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it's dirty on the inside. not long after a tweet we saw a guy with a squeegee coming up and went to work on a windows. don't know if there is correlation there. on a more serious note, this has become a flash point n

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: just so i'm clear, you're saying you would absorb the salary so there's no increase? >> yes. >> supervisor stefani: that's what we did yesterday with the parks and recreation budget. >> supervisor cohen: okay. supervisor sheehy? >> supervisor sheehy: in every instance that we talked about, i'm aware of the incumbent. they've all been doing spectacular work, so i'm wondering if the root of the problem may be in that department or that agency where there seems to be a lot of flexibility and fluidity on how people are hired, at what point, and -- 'cause i -- i really feel very uncomfortable about taking people who have been doing work and doing it well and kind of pen jammizing them over what seems like a current pattern of very, very bad process. directly was disrespectful of our board action as you noted yesterday. in one of the cases, we were very specific, but i wonder if there's a larger, more systemic problem in how these things are happening. because i think

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you, supervisor cohen. i just want to be clear, i don't support any cuts whatsoever to the pretrial diversion program, and in fact i support increasing it to the 1.7 that's requested, and here's why. if we are serious about what we want to do in the pretrial supervision program which is to rehabilitate people so they don't continue to enter the criminal justice system, we need to do our job, and do our job well. it is about helping people get their lives back on track, so if we're serious about that, we need to invest in it. my office has been following cases in court where people in my district have been injured, and so many times, what i hear back is how is this person allowed to be on the street? you saw the video of the person who kicked the homeless man in the face, and you see the assaults and his record, and the offenses that he has made against others, and you ask how is this person allowed to be on the street? so if this person is going to be surprised by pretrial diversion, i want to make sure we

i'd like to yield to stefanie murphy afloat at. >> thank you all for being here. i'm appreciative. mr. mccreight, i appreciate you showing as a sample of how virtual reality can be integrated for. >> translator: represent a district in orlando that is known for being the hub of modeling simulation and training, and there are a number of companies there that build machines or technology just like the one that you showed to train people in the healthcare space for military purposes and a variety of other jobs. and so i think it's an exciting space that will probably wear likely to see more of as a look at workforce training. but my question, we've held a similar hearing here on this committee where we discussed the possible causes of this persistent skill gap problem, labor force, job gap issue. and one idea is that schools might not be adequately preparing students with the exact skills that they need for specific jobs. and on the other side it appears there's a guessing game the students have to play as far as what jobs might exist. so as they try to forget what to go to school for

i hope, supervisor stefani, that that answered your question. >> supervisor yee: can i -- >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: just in follow up, miss rube in, in th event that your budget will be increased 1.2, what kind of adjustments can you make? >> we will not be open seven days a week. plain and simple. we do not have the people. right now we have eight people managing 1200 cases. right now we're about one person to 45 cases. standard in the industry is one person to 15. that's what the 1.7 would get us, and the extended hours. >> supervisor yee: i really appreciate your argument, and i don't understand why it's not in the budget. >> that's why you've been seeing me a lot laty. -- lately. i feel it's my obligation as the nonprofit provider to let the city know what the risk is, and we are telling you we can't absorb the risk. >> supervisor cohen: question. how long have we been operating for seven days a week? >> we are operating seven days a week in our o.r. component. >> supervisor cohen: so for what reason are you pushing us to operate on seven days a week as
