Show your support for city leadership!
Jaime Flores-Lovo was chosen for his overall vision and leadership in the development of enterprise-level technology projects for DPW, most significantly in the system migration for the department鈥檚 contract automation. This represented a major departure from the 鈥渓egacy鈥 contract processing systems due to integrated document management, collaboration, workflows and web functionality to enhance teamwork, transparency and accountability. Flores-Lovo鈥檚 leadership in building a team to realize the technological vision led to successful development of these software applications, with an end result of automating DPW鈥檚 contracts. This resulted in a cost savings of $17 million.
Lea Militello was selected for her critical leadership in building a security plan for San Francisco streets, especially during public events. Her accomplishments over the October 2012 鈥渂usiest weekend in San Francisco鈥 鈥 when more than 1 million people converged to stress the city鈥檚 street infrastructure to its maximum capacity with events including America鈥檚 Cup/Fleet Week, the Castro Street Fair, the Italian Heritage Parade, Giants and 49ers games, the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and the Double Ten Parade 鈥 exemplify her ingenuity and creativity. Her skills in staff management and resource allocation help to create world-class venues that generate visibility and income for the city. Militello implemented the Incident Command System (ICS), which is now the model for SFMTA鈥檚 management of special events.
Michelle Ruggels is being honored for her leadership in overseeing $490 million in annual contracts to 200 community-based organizations that provide health services to San Franciscans. An employee of the Department of Public Health since 1997, Ruggels led the Mental Health Medi-Cal Revenue Enhancement Project in 2011, creating a certification process that allows local agencies to use federal funds instead of local general funds to support their services. The department expects this effort to save $550,000 in fiscal year 2014 alone.
Crime Data Warehouse Team is being honored for building a web-based, real-time, searchable database of criminal reports that police officers can access on the ground. Susan Giffin, with the support of visionary team members Rodrigo Castillo, Alan Honniball and Leo Solomon, put together a professional technical team to digitize police records, freeing up sworn personnel formerly assigned to deskwork to be in the field. This key transition for the Police Department resulted in a real-time search engine to help combat crime- and terrorism-related incidents.
