SB : Sex offenders: registration: criminal offender record information systems Simin Shamji made a motion to pass the bill and Kathy Gorwood seconded it. The motion was passed at 10: Update on Decision Point Analysis by Criminal Justice Partners (discussion and possible action) a. Adult Probation Department (Tara Agnese) The SFAPD developed a proposed methodology for examining racial and ethnic disparities in adult supervision recommendations and practices. Decision points to be analyzed include: presentence investigation recommendations regarding sentencing and supervision; APD motion to revoke petitions filed for noncompliant behavior (i.e., Page 3 Page 8

9 Reentry Council Agenda Item 3 technical violations); APD petitions filed for flash incarceration; and recommendations for early terminations of supervision. The department s proposed methodology will utilize a qualitative and quantitative approach and will include data from various sources including the U.S. Census, the adult probation department, and the court. Aggregate data will be used to provide information on the demographic characteristics of the population of the city and county of San Francisco and the APD s supervision population. Individual-level data will be used to examine the aforementioned decision points. Descriptive statistics will be used to compare the demographic composition of the resident population of San Francisco to that of persons under supervision with the APD. In addition, this information will be used to inform univariate and multivariate analyses where the department will plan to control for factors like criminal history and supervision level and attempt to estimate the presence and magnitude of racial and ethnic disparities. In terms of next steps, APD will determine whether the proposed methodology will be implemented by internal staff or a pre-qualified third-party vendor, identify the study period, and determine whether the decision point analysis will utilize individual-level data captured as part of a previous research project. b. Sheriff s Department (Lt. Hunter) The SFSD will look at alternative sentences vs secure housing. From April 2017 June 2017 it will collect current information going forward. In particular, it will look closely at its SWAP Program, electronic monitoring, residential treatment, and the NOVA Program. Data that will be collected will be age, race, gender, original charge, and rebooking. Simin asked if the SFSD is planning to look at its policies around who is eligible for these programs and if the Sherriff s classification system will be looked at - Who is in custody and released into program? Kathy Gorwood stated that their policy is currently under review. Simin responded by saying that it would be worth looking at the entire eligibility criteria to create a systemic change to create a shift beyond a repeal process. How does classification impact access to programs, early release, EM, etc.? Cristine DeBerry followed by stating that Sheriff s Departments needs to be analyzing key decision point data rather than making improvements going forward. She underscored the fact that each Department committed to undertake a decision point analysis in order to take a look at what is currently happening. She said that it s important to realize that this exercise may have a cumulative effect of decisions and can produce outcomes people don t want to see. Because everyone s systems feed into everyone s outcomes, departments need to look at the intersection of systems. c. District Attorney s Office (Cristine DeBerry) Cristine DeBerry stated that the DA s office is looking at key decision making points charging, release decision, diversion, dismissal, and sentencing, to determine the degree to which racial disparities are attributable to characteristics of the cases as presented (such as arrest charges, severity of offense, criminal history), as compared to aspects of case processing that generate racial disparities. The Department has researchers from U Penn and UCB analyzing this data and they hope to be done by June She also stated that independent of looking at hard data, the office is doing a lot of work around implicit bias. Constantly reminding staff to be aware of the decisions they are making. Page 4 Page 9

10 Reentry Council Agenda Item 3 There is currently an implicit bias challenge in the office and all staff attended a mandatory two-day training. d. Public Defender s Office (Simin Shamji) Simin started by reminding everyone of importance of data. She stated that James Bell presented a robust report that indicated problems with how data is kept in San Francisco. This is important to correct because data informs policy. Mr. Bell warned and Simin recognized that data can also be paralyzing when people want to bring about change. She explained that in San Francisco, everyone knows most departments are doing a terrible job when it comes to keeping data and that SF has a very big problem around racial disparity. It has already been confirmed that there is racial disproportionality at every decision point and Departments need to be making some big changes. We know that 50% of the jail population is black, which is unacceptable. We can t let data dives and data analyses slow us down in making changes now. We still need to collect data but we can t use it as an excuse to not bring about change. Currently her Department is working with the Quattrone Center and looking at decisions being made with respect to charging practicing, sentencing outcomes, etc. There have been mandatory implicit bias training for staff and four separate trainings related to racial disparities, how to bring up race in courtroom hearing and trials. She said her staff is looking looking at implicit bias and looking to see whether outcomes are different based on race. They have hired a policy person who will start next month and hope to better keep and analyze statistics in the office. In addition, the office is looking at charges, enhancements, bail amounts, outcomes, etc. It is difficult to understand what is happening but it is critical in order to inform policy changes that need to happen. The Public Defender created a bail unit and is tracking who is being represented and what the outcomes are. In approximately 400 of 1,100 cases: bail was reduced, the person was released on OR, ACM, or EM, the case settled or the case was dismissed. The Public Defender in the bail unit focuses on the strengths of the individual person and not just on the charge. Allen Nance asked her if the Department is going to track about how much time a lawyer invests in a case and Simin said they were. c. San Francisco Police Department (Michael Connolly) Data collection has been problematic for the Police Department. Chief Connolly said that the Department is using a smartphone application to collect data as best practice. In addition, there are active discussions about asking academic institutions to look at the data and build out metrics. He said that the SFPD is aggressively putting its personnel through various types of training and working to building internal data dashboards. What is this officer doing how, where, when, etc. What does this mean? In addition, he said they are using a transparency and accountability model to improve the website. He stated that while challenging, the intent is there. Simin asked if the department intends to keep track of the number and race of consensual encounters and he said they did. Supt. Fewer said that when she was on the Board of Education, it was transformative for the school district to talk about race and that they did a lot of trainings but what made the biggest impact was the hiring process. She said that it really starts with the hiring process Page 5 Page 10

11 Reentry Council Agenda Item 3 and all departments should talk about issues of equity during the interview process, noting that it s extremely difficult to change a person s bias. Someone can be a great teacher somewhere else but in order to teach in San Francisco, they need to identify with San Francisco s core values. 9. Stop the Violence Event in the Tenderloin Majeid Crawford, Amati Adkins, Leila Porter and Mike Johnson spoke to the Council about a tragic shooting that happened in the Tenderloin. The victim was a close friend of these community members and the incident had an important impact on them. They have made a decision to create a community event in the Tenderloin aimed at stopping the violence. These community members approached the Council asking for individual departmental support to build the event, which will include the closing of a street and having activities for children as well as literature and information regarding community services. Several Council members pledged their support and urged the community members to call on them for help as plans progress on this event. 10. Council Members Comments, Questions, and Requests for Future Agenda Items (discussion only). Jose Bernal asked that there be more action items about equity. He reminded the Council that because of the privatization of reentry services, corporations are profiting. One example is GEO Group, who is in the Tenderloin and making money. He wants to discuss for-profit reentry companies at the next meeting. Teri Curd stated that the Council must take action to the community. If the goal is to minimize incarceration, people must talk to the community about these things. The Council and the City as a whole have history and obligation to the community to do this. Kandy from the Young Women s Freedom Center introduced herself and announced that there would be know your rights workshops happening in the next couple of months. Ernest Kirkwood stated that he was moved to see young people from community asking the Council for help and he felt a real energy around what they are trying to do. 11. Public Comment on Any Item Listed Above, as well as Items not Listed on the Agenda. 12. Adjournment. Paul Henderson made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Angela Coleman seconded the motion.

Currently, City departments negotiate PLAs for certain large public work projects on a case-by-case basis, when the department determines that a PLA will protect the City s proprietary and fiscal interests. Amendments to Current Law The proposed Ordinance would amend the Administrative Code to add Section 6.27 to require the City to negotiate a master PLA to apply to all City public work and improvement projects with estimated project costs over $1,000,000. The proposed Ordinance would exempt projects under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Airport, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the Port of San Francisco, and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency from the PLA. And the PLA would not apply to a particular project if its application would violate the conditions of a local, state, or federal funding source for that project. The proposed Ordinance would require that no later than September 1, 2017, the City Administrator negotiate with the relevant trade councils, craft and labor unions, and sign on behalf of the City, a PLA that shall: (1) apply to all contractors and subcontractors on a project and be a bidding prerequisite; (2) incorporate San Francisco Administrative Code Chapters 6, 14B and 83; (3) require the use of hiring halls, joint apprenticeship programs, and the Helmets to Hardhats program; (4) prohibit work stoppages; and (5) establish a method to resolve jurisdictional disputes between trade unions that are parties to the PLA. Finally, City Department heads could apply the PLA to projects under $1,000,000 in their discretion. Background Information The purpose of the citywide PLA under the proposed Ordinance is to avoid costly delays and additional expenses associated with public works and improvement projects that involve numerous contractors and employees in different trades, have critical timelines for completion, and require a skilled and properly-trained workforce to successfully complete the work in a BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Page 1 Page 22

The Administrative Code is hereby amended by adding Section 6.27, to read as follows: SEC CITYWIDE PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT ORDINANCE. 18 (a) Short Title. This Section 6.27 shall be known and may be cited as the Citywide Project 19 Labor Agreement Ordinance (b) Findings and Purpose. (1) Certain public work and improvement projects can involve numerous contractors and employees in different trades, have critical timelines for completion, and require a skilled and properly-trained workforce to successfully complete the work in a proper and timely manner. To avoid costly delays and additional expense to the City, it is essential that construction on such projects proceed without the labor disruptions that can occur on long-term projects, both from external labor Supervisors Farrell; Safai, Sheehy, Yee, Cohen, Ronen, Breed, Kim, Peskin BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Page 1 Page 24

25 Agenda Item relations problems and from the frictions that often arise when a large number of contractors and their employees and subcontractors work in proximity to one another on a job site. (2) Additionally, in a complex and highly developed urban environment such as San Francisco, many smaller projects can be of substantial importance to City residents, whether through provision of basic services or through the establishment or maintenance of conditions for economic, physical, or emotional well-being, such that it is highly desirable and even essential to avoid the delay in their completion that might result from labor disruptions. (3) ln the private sector, project labor agreements have been used for many years on numerous construction projects to achieve satisfactory performance and the economic benefits that result from having a guaranteed source of skilled workers and from avoiding work disruptions. (4) In San Francisco, project labor agreements have been and are being used successfully by public entities including the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the San Francisco Community College District, the San Francisco Unified School District, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, and the United States General Services Administration, as well as by many private entities, for construction in both large and small scale projects, including hospitals, reservoirs, water treatment and transmission facilities, schools, offices, and residences, and for the retrofit and remodel of existing buildings and facilities. Such agreements have been a major factor in producing quality construction work and projects completed on time, within budget, without labor strife or disruptions. (5) Beyond San Francisco, throughout the Bay Area and Northern California, project labor agreements have been used successfully on numerous public and private construction projects, and public entities such as the County of Contra Costa, the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, the Oakland Unified School District, the City of Berkeley, and others, maintain Project Labor Agreement Ordinances and Policies requiring the use of project labor agreements on their publicly funded construction projects. The same is true of the San Francisco International Airport, a City entity located in the County of San Mateo.

26 Agenda Item (6) The cyclical nature of our economy has led and will lead to high levels of unemployment and underemployment of San Francisco residents, particularly in certain neighborhoods and communities. Statistics also indicate that high levels of unemployment or underemployment correlate to a higher number of families living at or near the poverty line and to a higher crime rate. As a result, it is the policy of the City to increase and improve the employment of persons living in San Francisco in an attempt to counteract the grave economic and social ills associated with the unemployment and underemployment levels that have existed and will exist within San Francisco. (7) There is a need to provide San Francisco residents with more opportunities to participate in workforce development and pre-apprenticeship programs that include life skills training and job readiness training, and to this end the City has funded the CityBuild Academy established by the Office of Economic and Workforce Development. Such pre-apprenticeship programs increase the capacity of San Francisco residents to succeed later in formal apprenticeship programs and hence reduce unemployment and underemployment and accompanying poverty and crime conditions. (8) The construction crafts that work on City-funded projects require a supply of new apprentices to perpetuate the crafts into the future. Through their apprenticeships, these crafts provide genuine opportunities for long-term, well-paid careers in the construction industry. Entry into and employment through these apprenticeships can be facilitated by formal understandings between the City and the labor organizations affiliated with the San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council. (9) In addition, large numbers of returning veterans will be seeking employment on City-funded construction projects and training opportunities for entrance into the construction industry. Such training opportunities are available through a program known as Helmets to Hardhats, a program that current City project labor agreements require contractors and subcontractors to use. 25 Supervisors Farrell; Safai, Sheehy, Yee, Cohen, Ronen, Breed, Kim, Peskin BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Page 3 Page 26
