The mayor could explain to the people of San Francisco what is happening to their budget. I am in favor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, who may have mayoral aspirations of his own, moved quickly to point out, to all those who might be afraid of holding Mayor Gavin Newsom to account, that this would have more of an effect on Newsom\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/2010\/05\/gonzalez-being-considered-for-interim-mayoral-post\/\">successor<\/a> than the man himself.\u00a0 Nevertheless, right on cue, Supervisors Carmen Chu, Sean Elsbernd, Michela Alioto-Pier, Sophie Maxwell and Bevan Dufty dissented. Their opposition to executive accountability, however, was not enough to stop the measure from passing, 6 votes to 5.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2010\/bos_budget_20100720\/_w2w7746_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi  and John Avalos.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!--more-->This was the closest-run vote of the meeting, but several other items were also closely contested both in vote and discussion, including Newsom&#8217;s ballot measure proposal to further indebt the electorate\u00a0 with a $46 million bond to pay for earthquake safety retrofitting of \u201cmulti-story wood framed affordable housing soft-story buildings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following warnings that \u201cwe are due an earthquake on the Hayward fault any day now,\u201d and impassioned speeches from some of the Emergency Response Center staff, the Mayor\u2019s ballot measure proposal passed 6-4.\u00a0 Supervisors Chris Daly, Dufty, Elsbernd and Alioto-Pier dissented.<\/p>\n<p>Another item that divided opinion on the Board was Daly\u2019s proposed charter amendment requiring the Mayor\u2019s Office of Housing to direct a third of future budget surpluses, for the next 15 years, towards an affordable housing fund. The measure would also require the \u201cOffice of Housing, in co-operation with the Department of Public Health and Department of Human Services, to prepare an affordable housing plan every three years and an annual affordable housing budget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daly called it, \u201cOne of the toughest issues in San Francisco for a long time. There has been a lack of affordable housing for decades, and this will continue to be an issue for decades to come.\u201d He argued that a 1996 $100 million housing bond had been the only successful attempt to deal with this issue, that several efforts have come up short over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be nice in 2010 if we had a long-term sustainable revenue stream for affordable housing,\u201d Daly stated.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisor Elsbernd, in opposition, argued the measure would \u201crestrict future mayors,\u201d and warned of \u201cprojected deficits,\u201d pointing out that, if passed, it would require eight supervisors to countermand it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI caution you all to think about the future, and think about this measure being in the Charter,\u201d Elsbernd said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2010\/bos_budget_20100720\/_w2w7734_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supervisor Sean Elsbernd.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Deputy City Controller Monique Zmuda explained that, \u201cin surplus years, the Mayor and Board of Supervisors have appropriated funds to pay for affordable housing. Once the baseline has been met, it cannot go below that baseline amount. It could go up or down based on the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2010\/bos_budget_20100720\/_w2w7793_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deputy City Controller Monique Zmuda and Supervisor Daly.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This year, the baseline is $135.6 million, and it is the \u201cfirst time in many, many years it has gone down. This year it did go down and it could go down,\u201d said Zmuda. Finally, she argued the figures in question could, instead, be used to balance the budget. The subsequent vote saw the motion defeated 7-4, with Supervisors Maxwell, Mirkarimi, Avalos and Dufty joining the Newsom-appointee voting bloc of Chu, Elsbernd and Alioto-Pier.<\/p>\n<p>The other item which engendered serious and lengthy debate was Supervisor Alioto-Pier\u2019s attempts to push through \u201cLaura\u2019s Law,\u201d calling for assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) as a cheaper and more effective alternative to jail sentences. Alioto-Pier claims that Laura\u2019s Law, where implemented, has reduced incarceration by 87 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt works in New York,\u201d Alioto-Pier stated. \u201cIt disrupts the revolving door system in place at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAOT is for the mentally disabled offenders, focusing on independence and allowing an individual to go out into the community &#8211; crisis management, housing, vocational training, drug rehab, medication,\u201d Alioto-Pier added. \u201cAOT is only currently available to those in the behavioral court system for those who break the law. AOT works well and efficiently, but it only works if you first break the law and are lucky enough to find yourself in front of the behavioral court system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AOT is currently being trialed in Novato and Los Angeles. Cost-efficiencies are being measured.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco General Department of Psychiatry Director Ira Katz, stated, \u201cMedication is not possible for many of these patients. They often need care and treatment, depending on the particular needs of that patient. However, medication is the single most important part of this in most cases. Hopefully we can keep bad things from happening to otherwise good people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line: Implementing an AOT program via Laura\u2019s Law will be less expensive than incarceration. It costs $100 thousand per year to keep someone in the prison system, and only $25 thousand to treat a patient in an AOT program.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these seemingly overwhelming arguments, the motion was continued to August 3rd.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, it seems like there are some shrewd and calculated voting patterns at these meetings that may have far reaching implications for whoever has pretensions to the throne of power. It also seems that not every vote by every supervisor is in the best interests of the City and its residents.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2010\/bos_budget_20100720\/_w2w7687_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supervisors Sean Elsbernd, Bevan Dufty and Carmen Chu shared a little levity with District 6 candidate for supervisor Debra Walker.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2010\/bos_budget_20100720\/_w2w7803_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Board President David Chiu and Budget Committee Chair John Avalos discuss budget poker strategies.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2010\/bos_budget_20100720\/_w2w7834_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Armed with leverage, Board President David Chiu, accompanied by his aide Judson True, enter Room 200 to play budget poker with Mayor Newsom.
