I am pleased to present the 2010-2011 Guidebook For New W Department Heads and Senior Managers. With its simple and straightforward narrative, the Guidebook provides an overview of the City and County of San Francisco’s government structure as well as its rich and diverse history. Although written as a primer for new department heads and managers, the Guidebook is truly a key reference for anyone interested in learning how this twenty-first century institution with mid-nineteenth century roots operates in a complex and ever-changing world. We hope the Guidebook provides you with the information you need to achieve success and satisfaction during your tenure here. Edwin M. Lee City Administrator Foreword City Administrator v I. Introduction Guidebook City & County of San Francisco Guidebook City & County of San Francisco INTRODUCTION WHY WAS THIS GUIDEBOOK WRITTEN? Our City government is like a giant jigsaw puzzle. In building the puzzle, corners appear, details emerge, but the whole picture is not clear until all the pieces fit together. And so it goes with City government. It is a large, complicated entity, a bureaucracy of about 27,000 employees with laws, rules and regulations, that ministers to a highly diverse and political citizenry. If you are new to the City, you will have a steep learning curve. Yes, the City makes available plenty of resource manuals, bulletins and memos, but there is so much to read and learn and absorb that trying to digest it all at once slows down your ability to comprehend the whole picture. This introductory primer is intended to help new department heads and senior managers navigate the complexities of our City government. Although there are numerous sources of information available in electronic and other formats, trying to put all the organizational pieces together can be overwhelming. We hope that the Guidebook makes it less so. ORGANIZATION OF THIS GUIDEBOOK Our guiding principles were simple: select ten topics and keep it short. Procedures and descriptions are organized by general steps and include key exceptions. In the Executive Summary section, each topic is covered in three pages or less. At the end of each summary, there is a reference section with source titles, phone numbers and websites to access additional information. Most of the topics have a corresponding section in the Section III, Appendices where readers can find more detailed information. Our City government is dynamic, and information changes frequently. Consequently, we shall be updating the Guidebook periodically. Please let us know if the Guidebook is helpful. We welcome your suggestions and comments. I. Introduction I-1 II. Executive Summaries Guidebook City & County of San Francisco II. Executive Summaries A. San Francisco Government History Guidebook City & County of San Francisco Guidebook City & County of San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO GOVERNMENT HISTORY n 1845, the pueblo of Yerba Buena was a sleepy village, dirty, dusty, muddy and inhabited by a Icouple hundred people, “a polyglot congregation of hustlers, vagabonds, eccentrics, hedonists and traders…” (Cole, p. 20)1. On July 9, 1846, seventy soldiers and marines from the United States Ship Portsmouth came ashore, marched into the plaza, planted the Stars and Stripes and proclaimed Yerba Buena for the United States of America. On January 30, 1847, the appointed executive, Alcalde Lt. Washington Bartlett decreed that Yerba Buena, with its population now at 459, should henceforth be known as San Francisco. In January, 1848, with James Marshall’s discovery of gold at Coloma in the Sierra foothills, San Francisco’s destiny was forged. The news traveled like wild fire, and gold-seekers from every corner of the world soon poured through the Golden Gate on their way to the gold fields. By 1849 there were 50,000 people living in San Francisco. The pueblo dissolved and the City was born. San Francisco’s first modern municipal government was created on April 15, 1850 when the state legislature voted to incorporate the city. Thus, the title to the Pueblo Lands was vested by charter in the City of San Francisco. The 1850 Charter was repealed and replaced in 1851. That Charter was repealed in 1854. Subsequent charters were repealed in 1855, 1900, 1931 and 1996. It was said that the 1856 Charter was so inefficient that “…nobody knew what it meant except the city clerk and one or two other people.” (Martin Judnick, San Francisco Government, 1967) The Consolidation Act of 1856 separated San Mateo from San Francisco and established San Francisco as both, a city and county, the only such entity in the state. “When the Board of Supervisors approves an ordinance, it is generally acting in a municipal capacity, although the ordinance may affect county

  • Systems of California Indian Servitude Under US Rule
    ‘‘Unholy Traffic in Human Blood and Souls’’: Systems of California Indian Servitude under U.S. Rule BENJAMIN MADLEY The author teaches in the history department and American Indian Studies Program at the University of California, Los Angeles. From 1846 onward, at least 20,000 California Indians worked in varied forms of bondage under U.S. rule. This essay provides the first article-length survey of the statewide rise and fall of California’s systems of Indian servitude under U.S. rule, including their Russo-Hispanic antecedents, establishment under martial law, expansion under civilian rule, and dismantling by state and federal authorities. Further, this article proposes the first taxonomy of these systems and, in conclusion, discusses how California Indian servitude illuminates the histories of California, the western United States, the nation as a whole, and the western hemisphere while suggesting new analytical methods and research directions. Key words: American Indian labor, American Indian slavery, California Indians, California legal history, indentured servitude, unfree labor The author thanks Stephen Aron, Colin Calloway, Boyd Cothran, Robin Derby, Bruce Duthu, John Faragher, Daniel Lynch, Timothy Macholz, William Marotti, Valerie Mat- sumoto, Preston McBride, Edward Melillo, Aaron O’Connell, Carla Pestana, Jesse Philips, Arthur Rolston, Peter Stacey, Kevin Terraciano, Owen Williams, Craig Yirush, Judy Yung, Natale Zappia, and the Pacific Historical Review’s editors and anonymous reviewers.

As such, United States' history was largely the study of Americans' westward advance, and became the supposed critical factor in their political and social development. In reference to

  • The Greening of Paradise Valley
    The Greening of Paradise Valley The first 100 years (1887-1987) of the Modesto Irrigation District By Dwight H. Barnes Commissioned by the Modesto Irrigation District In recognition of its centennial year Dedication In the span of recorded history, the story of the San Joaquin Valley and that portion of it served by the Modesto Irrigation District is quite brief. The impact of a region upon a nation, however, cannot be measured by time alone. Settled by adventurous, innovative, courageous people who had the vision and determination to change a huge valley which was desert waste in the summer and whose flood-swollen rivers ran 10 miles wide in the spring, the San Joaquin Valley today is the nation’s most productive agricultural region. This was the home of people such as Irwin S. Wright, who in 1868 invented jerk-line control of long pulling teams; of Benjamin Holt, inventor of the Caterpillar tractor who subsequently made possible the first army tanks; of George Stockton Berry, who, starting with a discarded portable steam engine, built the first mechanically-driven combine to harvest, thresh and sack wheat in a single operation, and of political and military leaders such as John C. Fremont, the first presidential nominee of the Republican Party, and famed General William Tecumseh Sherman. It was in this region that the farm cooperative received its greatest stimulus, resulting in the development of the world’s largest cooperatives such as the Milk Producers Association of California and Tri/Valley Growers, both of which were founded in Modesto. More than a century ago, enterprising leaders of this caliber envisioned the rich potential of the region’s agriculture; needed was a practical means of bringing water to the land throughout the summer months.
