Policy Analysis Report

To: Supervisor Kim

From: Budget and Legislative Analyst’s Office

Re: Study of Municipal Fines

Date: February 9, 2016

Summary of Requested Action

Your office requested that the Budget and Legislative Analyst conduct a study on municipal

fines. Specifically, you requested that we establish a comprehensive list of all the municipal

fines that the City has the power to levy on residents and visitors including: (1) what fines exist;

(2) the frequency of the fines; (3) the amount of monies that each fine elicits for the City on an

annual basis; and, (4) the options for repayment for each fine as well as the consequences if

the fine is not paid. You also requested that we calculate the revenues brought in from

municipal fines as a percentage of the citywide budget.

For further information about this report, contact Severin Campbell at the Budget and Legislative

Analyst’s Office.

Executive Summary

As seen in the comprehensive list of municipal fines attached to this report, we have

identified approximately 430 violations of City ordinance or contracts over the last three

fiscal years that are subject to a fine. Further, we found that 1,866,614 municipal

citations were issued in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014‐15 and $88,639,2371 in revenue was

collected in FY 2014‐15 from municipal fines. This represents about 1.03 percent of the

FY 2014‐15 budget as proposed by the Mayor in June 2014.2

As seen in Exhibit 1 below, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA)

issued a majority of citywide citations over the last three years. MTA citations have

primarily been issued for parking on a street during street sweeping days and hours,

failure to pay a parking meter, parking in excess of the hours permitted in a residential

or carpool zone, and improper parking on grades.

1 This amount includes revenues collected on Port property that in some cases is due to the enforcement of State code. The comprehensive list attached to this report does not include this revenue and sums to $85,891,987.

2 The Mayor’s proposed Budget and Appropriation Ordinance as of June 2, 2014 included $8,566,996,836 in projected total sources of funds.

Report to Supervisor Kim February 9, 2016


2

As seen in Exhibit 2 below, the MTA also collected the highest amount of revenue from

the issuance of municipal fines. In total, MTA collected $82,438,866 in FY 2014‐15,

primarily from the same violations with the highest number of citations issued (parking

on a street during street sweeping days and hours, failure to pay a parking meter,

parking in excess of the hours permitted in a residential or carpool zone, and improper

parking on grades).

4 The Controller’s Office is not the charging department for these citations. Rather, the Controller’s Office manages the

administrative appeals process under Chapter 100 of the Administrative Code. These numbers reflect revenue from citation appeals enforced by the Controller’s Office, but charged by another department.



5

California Government Code Section 53069.4 and Chapter 100 of the City’s

Administrative Code establish standard procedures for the imposition, enforcement,

collection, and administrative review of “administrative fines.” These code sections

govern many of the municipal fines cited in San Francisco. However, very few citations

undergo the administrative appeals process staffed by the Controller’s Office—only 12

total violations underwent the appeals process in FY 2014‐15. If fine amounts are not

explicitly stated in the respective code provision, charging officials may consider ten

factors when determining the amount of the fine. Municipal fines not governed by

Chapter 100 of the Administrative Code are generally governed by the code section that

they reside or, in some cases, by agreement with a vendor.

The City lacks a uniform citation‐tracking protocol across departments. Although the

Controller’s Office tracks revenue from fines, fees, and forfeitures, this data comingles

revenue from fees for services and does not include all fine revenue across the City.

Further, some City departments issue one citation for multiple violations or do not track

the revenue that is received from citations, making it difficult to tie the number and

dollar amounts of citations to violations. An additional complication is that many

citations are State codes, which are enforced locally with revenue either shared with or

provided completely to the State.

The City’s codes, including the Health Code, include many citations that are not

enforced and appear to be obsolete. For example, Article 12 of the Health Code includes

a section regulating the manufacture of shoddy, a recycled wool textile that was

common in the 19th century. Additionally, the City has a Port Code that is rarely

enforced, and is a holdover from when the City had separate Port fire and police forces.

Further, we note in this report several instances where it appears that departments are

not enforcing various codes as demonstrated by the lack of citations issued for

violations over the past three fiscal years.

The City’s Administrative Fines

Municipal Administrative Fines

City officers or employees with authority to enforce certain ordinances (“charging

officials”) may issue a citation when an individual or party has violated one or

more provisions of certain City ordinances. A fine is defined by the Administrative

Code5 to mean the dollar amount of the administrative fine that the person cited

is required to pay for violation of an ordinance as set forth by the charging official.

California Government Code Section 53069.46 and Chapter 1007 of the City’s

Administrative Code provide the governance framework for the imposition,

enforcement, collection, and administrative review of municipal “administrative”

citations and fines in San Francisco. Although many municipal fines in San

Francisco are considered administrative citations and therefore governed by these

two code sections, other municipal fines are governed by the ordinances under

which they were established as described in more detail below in the department‐

specific sections and in the comprehensive list, which is attached to this report.

Chapter 100 of the Administrative Code only governs municipal fines when the

ordinances under which they were established identify them to be “administrative

fines.”

The Administrative Code also stipulates that the charging official may provide a

notice of the citation to the owner of real property when there is a nexus between

the violation and the real property located in the City. The charging official may

also impose a lien on the property when cited consistent with Administrative Code

requirements.

Administrative Fine Amounts and Payment Requirements

The Administrative Code stipulates maximum administrative fine amounts,

consistent with State Code, and states that the imposition of administrative fines

is “not intended to be punitive in nature, but is instead intended to compensate

the public for the injury and damage caused by the prohibited conduct.”

5 Section 100.2 6 California Government Code Section 53069.4 was established in 1951 and amended in January 2008. 7 Chapter 100 of the City’s Administrative Code was added by Ordinance 73‐08 in April 2008.



7

Specifically, the code states that the amount of the fine for violation of an

ordinance shall be:

Up to $100 for a first violation of the ordinance;

Up to $200 for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year

of the date of the first violation; and,

Up to $500 for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one

year of the date of a second or subsequent violation.

Further, the Administrative Code allows the charging official to take one or more

of 10 factors into consideration when determining the amount of the fine. These

factors include:

1. The duration of the violation;

2. The frequency, recurrence, and number of violations by the same violator;

3. The seriousness of the violation;

4. The good faith efforts of the violator to correct the violation;

5. The economic impact of the fine on the violator;

6. The injury or damage, if any, suffered by any member of the public;

7. The impact of the violation on the community;

8. The amount of City staff time, which was expended investigating or

addressing the violation;

9. The amount of fines imposed by the charging official in similar situations;

and,

10. Such other factors as justice may require.

Persons who are cited with administrative fines must be provided with at least 30

days for payment from the date the citation is served. Further, the Administrative

Code stipulates that fines that remain unpaid 30 days after the due date shall be

subject to a late payment penalty of 10 percent plus interest at the rate of one

percent per month on the outstanding balance, which is added to the penalty

amount from the date that payment is due. In addition, where there is a nexus

between the violation and real property against which the City may impose a lien

for non‐payment of the citation.

The amount of unpaid fines and any applicable late payment charges constitute a

debt to the City under the Administrative Code. As such, the City may file a civil

action or pursue other legal remedy, such as placing a lien on real property when

applicable, to collect such money.

Appeals and Hearing Procedures

The Controller’s Office staffs the administrative appeals process, pursuant to

Administrative Code Chapter 100 related to Administrative Fines. This is further

discussed in the Controller’s Office section below.

Municipal Fine Information by Department

Airport

The San Francisco International Airport issues administrative fines for violations of

the Airport’s Rules and Regulations as provided under Rule 14 (“General Fines”).

Violations of Rule 14 and respective administrative fines may be cumulative (one

citation may contain multiple fines) and may be in addition to other civil or

criminal federal, state, or local penalties. Violations fall under four categories: (1)

General Conduct; (2) Parking; (3) Commercial Ground Transportation Operations;

and, (4) Airfield Safety and Security.

General Conduct addresses violations by the public of rules pertaining to littering,

smoking, traffic rules, and interfering with wildlife. Most of these violations carry a

fine of $100 for the first offense, $150 for the second offense within 12 months of

the first offense, and $250 for the third offense within 12 months of the first. The

Airport only receives a portion of the traffic fine revenue for on‐airport violations

by the public from the Superior Court of San Mateo County, which processes such

fines. Traffic fines issued to permittee operators (e.g., airport shuttles, taxis, etc.)

are not shared with San Mateo County. No other Airport fines are shared with San

Mateo County.

Violation of parking rules carries a fine of $50 for the first offense, $75 for the

second offense, and $100 for the third offense.

Commercial Ground Transportation Operations rules address general operating

requirements (such as operating permits and vehicle markings), conduct on

airport roadways (such as bypassing the taxicab holding area, or loading and

unloading passengers at inappropriate locations), limousines operating without a

permit and pre‐arrangement, and transportation network companies violating

permit requirements. Depending on the rule section, fines are either: (1) $100 for

the first offense, $150 for the second offense, and $250 for the third offense; or

(2) $250 for the first offense, $500 for the second offense, and $750 for the third

offense.



9

Airfield Safety and Security rules address issues including unsafe aircraft

operation, failure to report accidents or extended delays, and security violations.

Most Airfield Safety and Security violations carry a fine of $750 for the first

offense, $1,000 for the second offense, and $1,250 for the third offense. During FY

2014‐15, the Airport began levying fines for rule violations by airfield operators;

prior to FY 2014‐15, airfield operators were only issued admonishments. The

Airport also levies penalties on tenants for violating permit and/or lease terms.

* Note: Does not include number of traffic citations as they are processed by San Mateo County, and the City

receives a pro‐rata lump sum share of the revenues. The number of citations shown for FY 2014‐15 is only for

Airfield Safety and Security violations.

Building Inspection

The Department of Building Inspection (DBI) issues administrative penalties for

work without a permit in violation of the San Francisco Building, Electrical,

Plumbing, or Mechanical Codes of 2013, respectively. Code violations for work

without a permit are charged at nine times the Permit Issuance Fee plus the

original permit fee. Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical Permit Issuance Fees and

original permit fees vary based on DBI fee schedules that are tied to various

factors such as size of the project. Building Permit Issuance Fees are based on the

valuation of the project. According to DBI staff, although San Francisco has

separate Mechanical and Plumbing Codes, mechanical and plumbing violations are

tracked together, so separate amounts of mechanical and plumbing violations

could not be identified.

Building Inspection 773 602 670 $742,839 $563,415 $560,158

City Administrator

The City Administrator is able to assess and cite penalties related to ordinances

regarding minimum wage, paid sick leave, prevailing wage, health care security,

health care accountability, fair chance, family friendly workplaces, and formula

retail employee rights, which fall under the Office of Labor Standards and

Enforcement (OLSE), as well as violations of entertainment regulations, which are

housed within the Entertainment Commission.



10

Investigations into violations of the City’s employment‐related ordinances, such as

the Health Care Accountability Ordinance and Minimum Compensation

Ordinance, can be lengthy, and take multiple years to complete. Therefore the

number of citations issued by OLSE in one year may differ greatly from the

amount of citation revenue brought in that same year.

For violations enforced by OLSE, violators can pay the penalty in its entirety, or

can request a payment plan. Many penalties are assessed through a settlement

process between OLSE and the violator. OLSE can take the case to a hearing

presided by an administrative law judge.

For the Entertainment Commission, late payments can accrue penalties as defined

by Administrative Code Chapter 100. The Entertainment Commission can also

proceed with other forms of corrective action including suspension of permits.

City Administrator 215 151 106 $438,835 $520,550 $545,264

City Planning

The Planning Department assesses penalties under both the Administrative Code

and the Planning Code related to short term rentals, general advertising signs,

non‐specialized enforcement actions, building permit applications, and code

violation abatement.

Payment of citations is requested in full within 30 days of the date the

Department's notice of penalties is mailed. The Department may negotiate a

payment plan in some cases. Delinquent payments are referred to the Bureau of

Delinquent Revenue, which can place liens on properties and perform other legal

actions, as well as charge collection fees (typically 25 percent) on top of the

outstanding balance.

Citations are issued most frequently for general enforcement and building code

permit violation abatements. As a result, these categories generally bring in the

most citation revenue, with the exception of settlement fees allocated to the

Planning Department from general advertising sign lawsuits.

11

Controller

The Controller’s Office staffs the administrative appeals process, pursuant to

Administrative Code Chapter 100 related to Administrative Fines. When the

Controller’s Office receives an appeal, staff notifies the issuing department of the

appeal, holds the fine amount, and schedules a hearing where the Controller,

Deputy Controller or contractor serves as the Hearing Officer. Upon the Hearing

Officer’s determination, the Controller’s Office either allocates the full or partial

fine amount to the issuing department or reimburses the appellant.

Under Chapter 100 of the Administrative Code, the Controller’s Office has

produced administrative forms and templates to carry out their Chapter 100

duties, including a hardship deposit waiver application, template for waiver

determination, and templates for all notifications related to the appeals process.

The Controller’s Office considers the total penalty amount of the citation in order

to validate the appeal request which may consist of multiple violations. When

reporting on the number of violations and associated revenue, the Controller’s

Office groups code violations, rather than reporting on violations by type.

The Controller’s Office staffs the administrative appeals process for code

violations issued by the Fire Department, Department of the Environment,

Entertainment Commission, and the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement.

Controller 2 5 12 $400 $2,100 $3,000

Superior Court

The Superior Court functions as a collection agency for the City of San Francisco

and books the revenue on behalf of the City. The Court does not have the

authority to issue citations. If individuals do not pay court‐ordered citations, the

Court’s collection programs are authorized to use tools such as additional fines or

wage garnishments to motivate individuals to pay their debt. While counties are

statutorily responsible for the collection of such debt, collection duties are often

delegated to the courts.

Penalties can be paid in full or through an installment plan. Nonpayment results in

little consequence, as the Court treats them as a collections case, which can be

reported to the credit bureaus if not paid in full. If the violation goes to the

Franchise Tax Board, a tax intercept can take place if a tax refund is available. For

traffic fines, a driver’s license hold may be put in place for non‐payment.



12

District Attorney

The District Attorney does not assess any municipal fines. The District Attorney

can bring civil actions under State Business & Professions Code Sections 17200

and 17500, related to unfair competition and false advertising, respectively.

According to the District Attorney, cases are intermittent and unpredictable;

therefore the number of cases and revenue brought in varies greatly from year to

year.

Defendants generally pay the entire civil penalty at the time of judgment or

shortly thereafter. On occasion, payments may be made over time, with

stipulations set forth in the judgment. Failure to pay the penalty would be a

violation of the judgment and enforceable by the judge.

Most criminal fines and fees assessed for a criminal case are collected by the

Superior Court via accounts set up through a collection agency.


The Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) enforces the Local

Hiring Policy for Construction. The Policy covers City public works and

improvement contracts in excess of $400,000 advertised for bids in or after March

2011. In 2015, the Policy was amended to cover contracts in excess of $600,000

advertised in or after August 2015. The mandatory local hiring participation level

increases annually over the first seven years of implementation, up to a

mandatory participation level within each trade of 50 percent of work hours

performed by local residents, with no less than 25 percent of project performed

by disadvantaged workers. As of March 2015, the mandatory participation level is

held at 30 percent for an additional 24 months or until further Board of

Supervisors action. Contractors or subcontractors who fail to satisfy the local

hiring requirements must forfeit to the City an amount equal to the journeyman

or apprentice prevailing wage rate for their trade for each hour that they fell short

of the local hiring requirement.

According to OEWD, two of the five Local Hiring Policy‐related penalties imposed

in FY 2013‐14 and FY 2014‐15 have not yet been paid. Eight additional penalties

have been imposed to date in FY 2015‐16, of which five penalties have not yet

been paid.

Ethics Commission

The Ethics Commission is authorized to impose administrative fines of up to

$5,000, or three times the amount which the person failed to report or unlawfully

contributed, for violations of the Campaign and Governmental Conduct Code

related to campaign finance, lobbying, conflicts of interest, and governmental

ethics in accordance with City Charter Section C3.699‐13. The Commission is also

authorized to impose late filing fees for failure to timely file various reports,

including campaign reports, campaign consultant reports, lobbying reports, and

annual statements of economic interests. Late fees are not included in the

administrative fine amounts included in this report.

Fire

The San Francisco Fire Code was replaced with the 2013 Fire Code in November

2013, which became operative on January 1, 2014. Under the code, a Fire official

may issue a written notice of violation when they find: (1) a code violation or (2)

activity being performed without a required permit or in violation of a permit.

Under Chapter 1, Section 105 of the Fire Code, operational permits are required

for hot work, storage and use of liquid propane gas, use of open flame and torches

in wildfire risk areas, and stationary storage of battery systems with liquid capacity

greater than 50 gallons. In addition, construction permits are required for

installation of car stacking parking systems in buildings.

A Fire official may issue a stop work order for work without a permit. If correction

of the code violation is required, the Fire Code official may charge an

administrative fee of $1,000 for re‐inspection to certify compliance. Violating the

code or refusing to comply with a notice of violation is subject to a civil penalty up

to $1,000 per day that the violation is committed or permitted to continue, plus

attorney’s fees. Civil penalties are recovered in civil actions brought by the City in

court. Failing to comply with an order or removing a posted notice or order is a

misdemeanor.

Library

The Library has the authority to assess fines under Administrative Code Sections

8.21 and 8.22, related to library fines and fees. Fines are generally cited for

overdue books, lost books, visitor’s library cards, lost library cards, damaged

materials, and inter‐library loan services.

If fines are not paid, patrons may make full or partial payment on fines. If their

fines are over $10, patrons are no longer permitted to check out library materials.

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) assesses municipal

penalties under the Transportation Code, Park Code, Golden Gate Bridge Code,

Harbor Code and the Municipal Police Code. MTA code violations are related to a

variety of non‐moving transportation violations including traffic control, parking

enforcement, and transit violations, among others. MTA may cite violations

throughout the City, including on Park and Port property. Moving vehicle

violations are enforced by the Police Department, not MTA. The MTA enforces

non‐moving transportation violations of state vehicle code, which are not included

in this analysis.

The most common MTA citation issued is for vehicles parked on the street on the

days and hours where parking is prohibited for street sweeping. Revenue

collected from street sweeping citations is the largest share of MTA citation

revenue. Other common MTA citations include failure to pay a parking meter,

parking in excess of the hours permitted in a residential or carpool zone, and

improper parking on grades. In addition, over the past two fiscal years, the

number of fare evasion citations has greatly increased, and become one of the

most commonly issued MTA citations.

The price of some citations varies depending upon whether the citation is issued

within or outside of the MTA designated Downtown Core, where violations are

more expensive.

Late payment penalties for violations of the Transportation Code are as follows:



15

Failure to pay a citation penalty by the first due date affixed to the notice of

violation shall be $30;

Failure to pay a citation penalty by the second due date affixed to the notice of

violation shall be $40;

Fee to reimburse the City for collection costs incurred as a result of a citation

that is neither contested or paid by the first due date affixed to the notice of

violation shall be $46; and

Fee to reimburse the City for the costs of removing boots from vehicles is

$316.

The SFMTA offers community service in lieu of payment and payment plan options

for customers with eligible citations. These options are not available if a vehicle

has been booted or towed, or if the citations have been assigned to special

collections.

Police

The Police Code is comprised of numerous violations, which have either been

codified by state or local statute. According to the General Counsel (City Attorney

designee) for the Police Department, it is impossible to know which codes resulted

from state or local legislation, and therefore the impact of citation revenue

earned from each violation of local code, without manually going through each

violation in the Police Code. As of the writing of this report, that information is not

available.

However, the Police Department assesses municipal fines related to the Police

Emergency Alarm Ordinance, which imposes fines related to false alarms. The

Police Department tracks the revenue brought in from the citations, but not the

number of citations issued per fiscal year. In addition, the Police Department

assesses a fine of $0.50 per every $10 traffic citation issued, which is put toward

the Department’s Automated Fingerprint Fund. Although this fine is state

legislated, it provides revenue to the Police Department.

Port

There are numerous violations that can be cited under the Port code related to

disorderly conduct, animals, traffic regulations, and required permits to conduct

activities on Port property. As the Port Code is generally not enforced, penalties

for late and non‐payment are unknown.

Most violations that occur on Port property are cited under the Transportation

Code, Park Code, and Harbor Code by the MTA or the Police code by the Police

Department. Therefore, no citations have been issued for a majority of Port Code

violations over the past three fiscal years.

Citation information below only reflects violations cited by MTA. Information for

citations issued by the Police Department is not available.


FY 2012‐13 FY 2013‐14 FY 2014‐15 FY 2012‐13 FY 2013‐14 FY 2014‐15

Port 37,608 41,739 44,909 $3,495,068 $2,875,719 $2,747,250 Note: The revenue earned from citations includes revenue earned from citations of both municipal

code and State code. However, only violations of local municipal code are counted in the total

number of citations per fiscal year. The Port is not able to separate out revenue earned from

violations of municipal code and State code. The Port’s citation revenues are also net of numerous

deductions such as state surcharges, and shares for other entities such as the Golden Gate Bridge,

among others.

Public Health

The Department of Public Health (DPH) has authority to issue fines for violations

of a wide variety of San Francisco Health Code provisions. However, according to

Mr. Richard Lee, Acting Director of Environmental Health, DPH primarily exercises

their authority to enforce violations related to garbage and refuse, food facility

permits, hazardous materials, hazardous waste generation, underground storage

tanks, and licensing of massage practitioners and businesses.

DPH’s Health Officer holds monthly hearings on behalf of the Director of Health

and may impose fines for Health Code violations. Individuals may appeal at these

hearings any fines or penalties that were assessed for not complying with

inspections related to Health Code provisions.

Administrative fines, such as late‐payment penalties, do not have the right to a

hearing. Such fines related to hazardous materials and underground storage

tanks, under Health Code Article 21, include fines for late application submittals

(for temporary and full time storage facilities) and for failure to obtain approval or

schedule site inspections prior to closure, removal, or modification of



17

underground storage tanks. The amounts associated with the administrative fines

related to Health Code Article 21 are not included in this report because DPH staff

stated that they did not have the resources to compile citation records in a timely

manner.

Failure to pay administrative fines may result in formal enforcement action. The

Tax Collector collects the administrative fines for failure to maintain adequate

refuse collection service at residential and commercial properties through

property tax bills. The Tax Collector allocates the portion of the property tax bill

associated with the refuse fines to DPH. If a complaint is issued, the City may

assess civil penalties up to $2,000 per violation per day. For willful violations of the

Health Code, the City may assess civil penalties up to $5,000 per day.

Public Utilities Commission

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (PUC) issues a charge for excess

water usage among commercial (non‐residential) irrigation customers. In May

2015, the PUC adopted a Drought Program to achieve a 10 percent system‐wide

reduction in water use and a mandatory reduction of 25 percent among irrigation

customers. The excess use charge is 200 percent (two times) the applicable water

rate. The PUC also charges a late payment penalty for bills that are 30 days past

due, but late payments are not included in the administrative fine amounts

included in this report.

Public Works

The Department of Public Works (DPW) has the authority to assess penalties

under the Administrative Code, Public Works Code, Health Code, and Police Code.

The most common DPW citations have been issued for portions of the Health

Code related to illegal dumping, maintenance of refuse collection services and

public health nuisances, as well as portions of the Police Code related to public



18

littering, littering on public property, public litter receptacles, and obstruction of

streets and sidewalks.

Citation recipients are given 90 days from issuance or decision of appeal to pay

the amount due. In some rare cases payment plans are permitted. In the case of

non‐payment of administrative citations, the value of the citation is transferred to

the property owner's tax bill along with an additional 12 percent administrative

fee.

Recreation and Park Department

The Recreation and Park Department (RPD) assesses penalties from the Park Code,

Health Code, Transportation Code, and Police Code that occur on City park

property. Fines are paid to the Superior Court or can be worked off by community

service. If fines are not paid, late penalties are incurred and an arrest warrant can

be issued. The offender might be required to appear in criminal court.

The Park Patrol Division of RPD administers and tracks citations. According to RPD,

all citation revenue is collected by the Superior Court and RPD does not receive

the revenue, nor do they know much revenue is actually collected from citations

or who the funds are provided to.

Department’s citations and does not track such revenue.

Sheriff’s Department

The Sheriff’s Department does not impose municipal fines or collect citation

revenue from municipal fines. However, the Department does receive

reimbursement funding from violations of the State Penal Code which are set,

collected, and distributed by the State Superior Courts. For every $10 in court

fines or fees, $1 goes to the DNA Fund, legislated by Penal Code 296, and

managed by the Sheriff’s Department’s DNA Unit. The DNA Fund supports the



19

DNA Unit, which oversees the DNA collection from anyone arrested or convicted

for a felony offense. The DNA Fund monies may only be used for costs associated

with DNA collections including the DNA Unit’s salaries and benefits, supplies,

shipping costs, and equipment. The Sheriff’s Department currently receives 75

percent of the fund, while the state receives 25 percent. Funding may only be

used for costs of the Sheriff’s Department DNA Unit.

The Sheriff’s Department has received approximately $1,080,000 from these fines

since 2005. The balance in the fund is currently $377,219.8

Treasurer/Tax Collector

The Treasurer/Tax Collector assesses municipal fines under the Business and Tax

Regulations Code related to violations by businesses to produce certain

registration and financial information, maintain and produce records as required,

and others.9

Penalties increase cumulatively by 50 percent for each subsequent violation of the

same provision by the same person within a three year period. The maximum

penalty that may be imposed by administrative citation in a calendar year for each

type of violation is $25,000. The Tax Collector may also assess enforcement costs,

including attorney's fees, which do not count toward the $25,000 maximum.

In FY 2012‐13 and FY 2013‐14, the Treasurer/Tax Collector’s Bureau of Delinquent

Revenue collected residual delinquent collections for the Superior Court, the

terms of which were governed by a Memorandum of Understanding. However,

the Department does not have specific information about the citations or

revenues collected, only an aggregate amount collected by fiscal year.

Conclusions

We have identified approximately 430 violations of City ordinance or contracts

over the last three fiscal years that are subject to a fine. Further, we found that

1,866,614 municipal citations were issued in FY 2014‐15, resulting in $88,639,237.

This represents about 1.03 percent of the City’s budgeted revenues in FY 2014‐15.

8 The DNA fund is currently missing a state reimbursement from 2008 which could potentially result in an additional $190,000 ‐ $200,000 for the fund. 9 The Treasurer/Tax Collector was not able to provide the number of citations and citation revenue earned by the writing of this report.



20

Of the $88,639,237 in fine revenues in FY 2014‐15, $82,438,866 or 93 percent

were due to citations issued by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation

Agency (MTA). MTA citations have primarily been issued for: parking on a street

during street sweeping days and hours, failure to pay a parking meter, parking in

excess of the hours permitted in a residential or carpool zone, and improper

parking on grades.

The City lacks a uniform citation‐tracking protocol across departments. Although

the Controller’s Office tracks revenue from fines, fees, and forfeitures, this data

comingles revenue from fees for services and does not include all fine revenue

across the City. Further, some City departments issue one citation for multiple

violations or do not track the revenue that is received from citations, making it

difficult to tie the number and dollar amounts of citations to violations. An

additional complication is that many citations are State codes, which are enforced

locally with revenue either shared with or provided completely to the State.

The City’s codes, including the Health Code include many citations that are not enforced and appear to be obsolete. For example, Article 12 of the Health Code includes a section regulating the manufacture of shoddy, a recycled wool textile that was common in the 19th century. Additionally, the City has a Port Code that is rarely enforced, and is a holdover from the days that the City had separate Port fire and police forces. Further, we note in this report several instances where it appears that departments are not enforcing various codes as demonstrated by the lack of citations issued for violations over the past three fiscal years.

Recommendation

The Board of Supervisors should request the Controller to work with City departments, as

part of the annual budget process, to evaluate and report to the Board on which

administrative or penalties require better enforcement and which should be deleted from

the Administrative Code.
