sfgov.org city hall 1 dr. carlton b. goodlett place san francisco, california. >> make sure to silence electronics. documents to be included as part of the [inaudible] should be submitted. actions will be on the supervisor board agenda. unless otherwise stated. read item 4 >> item 4 ordinance amending the code to authorize public health to behavioral health and residential care and treatment services for patients of the department without guarantee the competitive solicitation or accident enterprise requirements

of the coached good morning. supervisor walton. greg department of public health hoping for a better hearing this morning but business continues. so. as you >> we have legislation requesting additional flexibility to be able to procomputer behavioral health and public health care and treatment beds in but probably more frequently outside of the county. to meet what we know as a very urgent need. we have been working for montes and wherevers to expand the supply of treatment beds of various types. come to the conclusion this in many cases there are obviously very good reasons for the rule bunkham laws we have arnold procurement, they are not

fitting the need given the market for the beds. well is an under supply and a lot of demand for beds in many cases we have providers and beds available when did in the anticipate in the competitive process. and they make its challenging for us to figure out how to purchase the beds in a timely way. that's creating service gaps. time delay in getting people the treatment we know that they need. there are slides on the laptop. >> sfgovtv could you show the slides. >> thank you. upon at the heart of the request of this ordinance is a competitive solicitation waiver. we would continue to use competitive solicitations, rfp and rfq's but the question

healered give us the option in case we find beds available that a provider had not competes in processes to enter in contract negotiations within the confines of this ordinance of we understand that this is a serious act and don't make it lightly we attempts to put constraints around the scope to have the ability to monitor the usage of the request and used appropriately. reporting obligations including reportoth usage. our health commission oversight. we have the regular contracting process that would still apply including contract compliance, oversight and the state and federal licensing regulation and clinical oversight of the use of

the beds. while this would wave the competitive process and certain cases, we would have controls and oversight over the services. the legislation includes sunset prosecute vision in 5 years. what we expect that this would do is expand our capacity for needed behavioral health beds tailored to the needs of our client catharsis hard to find. they could include subacute complex license treatment beds. substance use service. with drawl management am step down and others, this solid provide us the ability when we require isolation and quarantine beds that are unpredictable and time sensitive to quickly procure those beds. goals. again are to reduce waste wait time, increase diversity.

flexibility and finding the right bed for the right client at the right time. and speedup and stream line the administrative process for procurement of service. i will leave it and happy to answer questions. and my clothes and public health are here. >> thank you. supervisor waltonful thank you for the presentation. i have a question. why do real have to waist requirement sns so. right now for the services we have an active lb program. for these they are waived entail. so we will submit they are cbo contracts. they don't have service in the categories of the lbe's. we take the administrative step to submit to cmd but waved entail. an xr step in the process that

does not result in any expansion of the lbe program. we will continue to work to expand lbe usage in a number of other areas this . is not the target these are not the target service for our lbe program. i want to i'm a cosponsor i continuing is important. we have not reached the 4 huh human beds we are trying to procure because partially the burdensome requirements. there are not enough beds anything we do to make it easier. is important at this point given a huge crisis we have in

behavioral health in the city. thank you for being here. can you i know you said in the presentation. what is the average time once you have the beds procured the average time it takes to get someone in a bed? >> i will ask doctor conin to speak to that. why i'm asking that question because i'm happy to support you waiving the fees i continue is a competitive market we have to move quickly to secure the beds. big crist simples i heard from providers that work with san francisco is it takes a long time to get people in the beds. once they are available. i know that currently there are some this might not be filled or

in the process of being filled. i want to talk about that on the records for a moment. i will support this today i appreciate this you allment to move quickly and think we mode to do this. and i upon want to upon talk about what the process is you go through to get beds filled and how long it takes that is a piece of the problem as well. >> hillary, behavioral health. thanks for your kweshg supervisor safai. i think the answer to that question is there are diversity to that answer. so for example when we procure single or handful of beds typically had this legislation is aim to address is our shortage of look subacute beds. the time frame they are already operational. already staffed. there is processes. in place to place folks.

and that should be rapid. we are opening a new service type it might take time for there to be appropriate staffing, assessment of appropriate clients. and change in work flows. our goal is to expedite this. we don't want unused service. we want to expedite our ability to offer appropriate placements for as many as possible. >> i understand this. that should be the goal. do you all have an information on what your average time to fill beds are. >> i think. if you don't have it today it would be helpful to have this. i have spoken to service providers and say it is extreme low difficult, they work around the bay area. san francisco is the most difficult ones to deal with when it come to referrals to get

people in beds. can you spend a minute telling us about that? i will add also that perhaps we can follow up to get this feedback from the providers so we can problem solve the specifics there. i think i will get back to you with more information. hard to generalize. >> can i ask, did our process this we have to have someone assigned as a case manager before they can be referred to a bed? >> there is what we call autilization management review for many beds not all. this is required by the state. and to determine medical necessity under medical rules. this is federal and state. >> my question is some counties allow the providetory have the manager working with them.

do we require it to be someone city and county and is there a backlog in a signing? i don't believe well is a backlog. i believe i will get back there are federal and state regulations about separation of who is making an assessment for a placement and who is doing the place am. the separation of the 2 functions and again it sounds like you have feedback and i'm happy to fix it. >> yea. i'm happy to work with you. the biggest frustation i have with your department is we have resources, providers that some do things well. some don't. we are in the proisz. getting as many in the service as we can. whether homeless or mental health and it is sometimes our

count theis somewhat of a backlog or the wrong providers chosen. we have a lot of empty beds there. in some cases. and not providing the services we need. i wanted say that to get on the record i'm happy to support n. i think it is important we have the ability to move quick low we don't want to lose on the opportunity to compete. i think the efficiencies within our own is manage to way a lot of attention to which i think that is one of the areas i don't think we are doing as well as we could. thank you, chair. >> thank you, doctor. >> thank you very much. we will open for public comment. >> yes. members of public who wish to speak shall lineup at this time. each speaker will be aloud 2 minutes there will be chime at 30 seconds and louder when your time has expired. if there is anybody headline

like to public comment approach at this time there are no speakers >> public comment is closed. i would like to make i motion to send to the board with positive recommendation. >> on that motion. vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai. >> aye. >> chair ronen. >> aye. >> the motion passes to sends this merit to the board of supervisors as a committee report. >> motion passes unanimously. >> thank you very much >> thank you. >> mr. check read item one. >> item one is a motion approving rejecting the major's nomination reappointment of lydia to the successor oversight board ending january 24, 2028.

>> and i see mr. ms. ely here would you like to say anything? >> good morning. supervisors lydia ely deputy for housing at mayor's office of housing and community development and serving on the oversight board for the last few years. please do resubmit my nomination for another term. i have been with ocd since 2009 and now as deputy one of my responsibility its aline our pipeline with ocii pipeline. the oversight board is not make policy or program recommendations. our responsibilities are narrow nan low to approve recognize payment standard drops submitted to the state. it is essentially a list of all the outstanding obligations that ocii has as it continues to wind

down the operations. in the left year i have been pleased approve a line item it that is moving forward thifrngs to passage of ab93 thrsz ocii to complete over 5,000 additional units of replacement housing. and that was passed by the legislator and signed by the goner in 2023. and ocii is starting to dot planning work to get those units built. and working with ocd on aligning pipeline and priorities. so, it has been my pleasure and i hope you will consider my nomination for another term. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> questions? i have a question . >> thank you. thank you for putting your name forward. i have a question. in terms of the area that ocii

has jurisdiction or concentration, can you name the neighborhoods this is in? i know the mission bay is one. the areas are transbay, mission bay and candlestick, hunter's point the 3 outstanding areas. >> no long are the fillmore western edition. >> no. >> you all have conversations about any of the work this happened there in the past, no longer under purview of ocii. i mean with the passage of sb93, which is a direct acknowledgment of the agency, the redevelopment sxaejs now ocii on going obligation to replace housing that was demolish in the those neighborhoods; i think there is intention and again in cooperation with ocd and other housing delivery agency in the city to see what opportunity

there are to site this replace am housing and those neighborhoods. >> the reason i ask is buzz we are going through a situation now with a former redevelopment site that was scold to safe way in 81 for equal what would be single family home in san francisco today. within.5 million they had planned to try to sell this site. and there were homes and businesses that were displaced there. and this now is trans action was good intention original low for a market. and now is being sold by that market to a private developer. i wonder if there is conversation ocii or redevelopment with sb93, there should be a conversation about replacing the housing that was lost. it is a large acreage in the former redevelopment site. it is i good opportunity for

there to be a good amount of affordable housing i wanted your thoughts on that. >> i thank you transaction took place long enough there is no long are opportunity for ocii to transact on that site. i think big are picture your ment about replacing housing that was displaced by that development and other redevelopment activities is time low. i don't believe ocii is intending to issue bonds under the sb593 authorization until fiscal year 25-26. so there is a timing issue. if anybody is interested in launching a housing use at that site they would have to be other funds identified. just so the timing does not align at the moment. jot reason i bring it up again,

even though the obligation might be technically gone. i think the obligation still exists for this community. that was devastated biby redevelop the here is an opportunity with policy and plan to regain what was lost. i don't think that the best use of that ref resource that grocery store is now saying they will close weapon a year. an tlunt in a large site to do work. i wanted to put it out there. could be a chants for ocii through >> thank you, do you have questions. thank you for you will your work and appreciate you for everything you do. on therapy role and mohcd.

why thank you very much, supervisor. >> absolutely. >> and now -- one more question. there is one more seat vacant do you know since you other mayor's office of housing do you know yet, seat is vacant >> i do not. i'm sorry. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you very much. can we open up for public comment? >> yes. members who wish to speak lineup to speak. each be allowed 2 minutes. if you would like to speak you can approach at this time. >> well is not public comment. >> public comment is closed. i like to make a motion to move the word rejecting from page 1 line 3 and reject from page 2 line 11. and send to the board with positive recommendationch >> on the motion to recommend as amended vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai.

bring a very different perspective to this body. and i think this where we are now the reason i was asking about your favorite venue was to talk about how important night life and how important small businesses are to our city. and how they make san francisco unique. people in here because they want to go to the stud they want to go to elrio and go to look out. because they want to go to different pers of the city. these other thing this is make san francisco special. really appreciate all the diversity of opinions that have come today. the thing i think this out weighs the decision is because of where we are now. so many of the businesses. it was sfwog here maria talk about a round table with the mayor we have been trying to get the mayor to pay attention for 3 years talked about a rent relief

fund. creating an entertainment funds this can support the businesses. i money this is work that needs to happen and needs to help immediately not just for owners but the work and creating safe places. that entire environment. so, i think recovery is the key. to what needs to be pushed now because of the economic environment that we are in. so, i will facility lead of the chair. today i think it is a verying difficult sdichgz all of you bring an important perspective and this is part of being on the rules committee that is not fun when you have to choose someone over someone when you can choose anyone of you. it is not empty words who is when we finalize this today thereir other opportunity. and i think the things i like body a ajainicloe her perspective is and her
