supervisor walton. >> thank you chair ronan. i just wanted to say thank you to all of the candidates, both the incumbents and also new candidates willing to step up and serve. i don't think people know how much time and work goes into working on commissions here in san francisco, so one, always excited to be people willing to serve and two, excited about the fact that this works out perfect for us today in the math so we don't have extremely tough decision to make today. >> absolutely, and i'll just say that we have a tough time coming up before us. there is a election and in addition to that, there is just a crisis right now on the border where you don't see much difference between the candidates in terms of closing down the border and really

going backwards in terms of our responsibility as a global community to grant asylum to people not safe in their own countries, so the work that you are doing is as important as ever and will be going into the future, so thank you so much for taking this on and for serving this important role in our community. and with that, i would like to make a motion to appoint aseel fara to seat 4. mario paz seat 6. and lucia obregon to seat 11. >> thank you. on the motion to make the appointments as listed, vice

chair walton, aye. supervisor safai, aye. my apologies, i like to back up a little bit. would you like to add residency waver for mario paz? >> i would, please. >> thank you. on that revised motion, vice chair walton, aye. supervisor safai, aye chair ronan, aye. the motion passes without objection. >> passesue unanimously. thank you so much. please read itedm 2? >> ordinance amending the administrative code to create the legacy business assistance program. >> thank you so much. we have director katie tang and rick who has overseen this program since inception, so thank you both for being here. i'll pass it to you director tang. >> thank you. good morning supervisors and of course i certainly want to

acknowledge a important cocreator of the legacy business program supervisor ronan along with supervisor compose. before you today is legislation and really i wanted to highlight the over arching goal behind why we are trying to make changes to this program. really what we want to accomplish is to better support legacy businesses and help them stabilize. so, there are really two key changes that pertain specifically just to the rent stabilization grant program that we are making today. while preserving the integrity and goals of the overall legacy business program so just reemphasize, we will not be changing anything around who is eligible to become a legacy business or to get on the registry. happy to share that again, thanks to rick crilo the there are nearly 400 legacy businesses on the registry.

the first change is we want to be able to require that landlords who participate and benefit from the rent stabilization grant program they share at least 50 percent of the grant they receive from the city with the legacy business tenant. right now that is not a requirement and per rick, roughly 60 percent of the landlords do voluntarily share most or some of the are grants funds with the legacy business tenants and also this applies for only new applicants moving forward, so who ever benefited and already receiving the rent stabilization grant program, those program terms will not change. the second change is that we eliminate the special contingency provision landlords are allowed to include in their rent lease agreements. currently it allows a landlord to cancel legacy business lease

if the landlord does not receive the $4.50 per square foot through the rent stabilization grant program so we want to remove that from the program as well. so, again, those two changes. everything else remains the same. the legislation before you today creates a fund that allows us to make the two changes without going-having to change the measure that was before voters in 2015 through proposition j, while preserving all the other elements. we want to make sure integrity of the program is in tact. happy to answer questions and want to thank you supervisor ronan for champions with the program while with supervisor compos office and rick. >> thank you so much. supervisor walton.

>> thank you. just a quick question directser tang. why didn't we make this retroactive for legacy businesses and landlords who already benefited? >> so, one we don't want to change program rules mid-stream, but when you do receive a rent stabilization grant from the city, tb is multiyear grant so we didn't want to change that. say you are in year 4 out of 10, we didn't want to change a the rules midway because they sign on for a program that they thought had a very specific set of rules. >> thank you. >> thank you. i just wanted to thank you for this both of you. it makes a lot of sense and i just think you are both doing such a tremendous job and really having your ear to the ground and knowing the challenges some small businesses are facing in san francisco and constantly working to make changes to make

it easier, because gosh, it isn't easy to run a small business in the city, so thank you both so much for your work and for this legislation and if i could be added as a cosponsor i appreciate that. sorry ahsha, i did not see supervisor safai. >> thank you. i have a couple questions for the director of the small business program. can you come back up, please? so, the legacy business assistance program fund, how much money is in that fund? >> so, for the rent--talking about the rent stabilization grant program? >> just reading the legislation. >> i should mention in the creation of the fund we are creating a slightly different name only because administrately we want to keep track of the two different funds accounts. each year in our budget is $1 million for the rent stabilization grant program.

>> so, the funds in the rent stabilization are the same thing? >> yes. >> okay. what are it the size of the grants that you offer? >> it really does depend, but it is a calculation of $4.50 per square feet. >> is there a cap on the size of the grant? >> yes, 5,000 square feet. >> so, $4.50 times 5,000 would be the cap? and many grants have you distributed since the creation of the fund? >> you mean since inception of the entire program? >> just this rent stabilization, how many people are in lease right now? >> 53 per rick or legacy business program manager. >> and are those-how are those distributed throughout san francisco? >> what happens is first, as a first step you have to become a legacy business and you have to fill out an application and be approved. go through the historic

preservation commission and routed to small business commission and once approved by the small business commission, the landlord and the legacy business tenants apply together for the rent stabilization grant program. >> i guess what i'm trying to understand, the grants themselves are to pay for rent, correct? >> so, it is actually incentive funding that would go to the landlord to incentivize them to sign either a new 10 year lease, renew a 10 year lease or 5 year lease with a 5 year option to extend up to 5 years, so again, something to motivate the landlord to sign on to a longer term lease. i'm sure chair ronan can speak to this much more deeply, but seeing issues with landlords not wanting to sign on a longer term lease fl long standing businesses. >> i can chime in on what was the original thinking behind that.

at the time, many landlords were increasing rents really really high so the long-term legacy businesses were closeing down so it was a big hit to neighborhoods all over the city, so the idea is, if we gave them an incentive to enter into long-term lease thrz is stability that relieve a lot of stress and pressure on small businesses, and so that's part of the original ordinance, not this change. this change would allow the city to require there be sharing between of the benefits that assistance between the landlord and the business itself. >> that makes sense. i appreciate that. i'm just reading the headlines under the legislation, it says grants to businesses directly and it says financial assistance to businesses and it says grants to landlords and it

says financial and business assistance to landlords and of the legacy businesses, and then marketing promotion. this fund is to cover all those things? >> yes, we want the fund to be as flexible as possible so if we receive additional funding sources we can easily use this fund to grant out funds to legacy business. >> right. and this by the way is a lot of what community benefits districts do in their areas, so this would be in addition to what community benefit districts are doing? >> not sure what you mean in terms of cbd. >> not just legacy business, they focus on the commercial corridors they are in and do financial assistance, they do do work with landlords, they do promotion, marketing, all these things, so-- >> at this moment, the only grants really-it is directly to--at this moment it is going to lands lords to stabilize

legacy businesses so the intent is give some money to the legacy small business. >> is it specified-i didn't see it specified. is that to help the business in any way to invest back in the business or could it be for rent? >> they can apply towards rent. but meant to help stabilize them. if there are particular needs that they have, it is really designed to be pretty flexible for them. >> got it. okay. great. i think it is a great program. i was just curious how you were envisioning it, how much money was put in it. a million dollars is just my calculation 5,000 square $5,000 square feet at $4.50 square foot is about $22 thousand a business. all that helps, particularly those that are struggling in a particular market. appreciate it. i like to be added as a

cosponsor. thanks for answering those questions. >> thank you so much. and we can now open this item up for public comment. >> yes, members of the public who wish to speak should line up to speak at this time. each speaker will be allowed two minutes. >> good morning. my name is calvin yan, representing supervisor president peskin. in support of the item. i want to say as a supervisor with high density of legacy businesses and represent a lot of legacy business in district 3 and coauthored [indiscernible] jump start the prop j administer the prop j and someone who has supported the legacy program i know rick and director tang has been working on to really highlight the legacy business in our city, and in the district we also followed the foots of kia

venta quat row for the conditional use. we want to highlight that in recent cases, i think last week or two weeks ago we have a legacy business where the planning commission has overlooked the process and actually allowed eviction of legacy business without permit permit or process to keep them in place and just remind folks a legacy business is in business 30 years. that is long time for a mom and pop to really work hard on the program and legislation before you will strengthen some of the programs to support our small business community and really keep them whole and the foundation of many diverse neighborhoods. we urge you to support and pass this with recommendation. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> any other speakers for public comment on this matter? there does not appear to be any other speakers. >> public comment is now closed.

i would like to make a motion to send this item to full board with positive recommendation. >> yes, ton that motion, vice chair walton, aye. supervisor safai, aye. chair ronan, aye. the motion passes without objection. >> passes unanimously. thankz so much. mr. clerk, dee do we have other iletms items on the agenda today? >> that completes the items for today. >> thank you very much, the meeting is adjourned. [meeting adjourned]

the city accesses the contractor (unintelligible). >> you with the affordable housing and we'll only build 1 or 2 affordable housing project and only like a couple hundred units and in the portfolio and not an sufficient way i don't think we work with the benefit organizations partners and with project sponsors and will lend them money for part of the a project. and they'll go out and gather other funding sources and we'll deputy a property and for the general contractor and they own that at the end but the general obligation bond are one of several funding sources. but what is nice about the committee money it is cheaper so jump

issuing an aggregate of one hundred and $59 million and there are several components to it it the ones i'll highlight with the fighter the facility station the disastrous for the joint project between the emergency response team and recreation and then the 9-1-1 response. there is more detailed information on the status of this project and done by puc public utilities commission and covered the quarter so any comments include the information in those reports and thank you for the public utilities commission for the transparency and might have as well as other interested parties. and a few

not able items in the report one i think the fire training facility in the portion of the neighborhoods fire station at the 2020 bond will be noted that other venues but cost escalation is crowding out the fund that otherwise will be available for fire stations we have rehabilitation and understanding the inflation across the programs given the size and how much of funding in 2020 bonds and not able projects will be completed within that and i think we understand that the city of our size and the amount of infrastructure we have already been continuing to modernization so the fire stations and other projects not

completed in the this bonds will be considered in the next future bond is in 2027 or 28 go back to the voters. >> and the other product i'd like to the disaster response and in this particular project want to express in any appreciation for the staff's thoughtfulness in approaching this as is disaster and emergencies and as recreational purpose on the day to day basis making the most of bond dollars. >> for the facilities tour we toured the projects earlier this month so thank you for joining me and thank chief miller for the appropriation to make it

happen we visited three facilities in embarcadero and pier 22 and a half and fire station 8 that is it in south of market and fire station 5 and selected those projects to how the bonds program is 0 executed and the fire station not on the modernization but before and after comparison and contrast and fire station 35 is unique for as the fire station? a impressive facility and, of course, the fire boats are dispatched along the bay with the - providing an essential function and facilities for fighting water and fire station

8 is in need of capital work the excuse me - the firefighter at the station work around the layout and the typical system in order to provide their mission but um, that fire station as a exists today didn't - because of equipment and other needs so obviously, nodding in fire station that was opted out in the location the difference between fire station 8 and 5 are yourself and appreciate the thought in fire station 5 for the interior and exterior on the premise and in increment weather and thank you for everyone that

was involved in those and finally, to wrap up any report i did a discussion with the project managers and thank you, 40 for the project manager and all the project manager for their time we talked about those with antidotes for the clarity own this topic for example, discussed the parking facility we had i previously mentioned and spoke to the project manager 75 for greater transparency with the - for example, and infrastructure requirements as i understand that the requirements for the facility power versus secondary power between penalizing and that project costs and continue to have discussions with the staff to better understand that and with

have for expertise and then what we've ama to do this time around to issue liaisons to each other and thinking about the report we had with a parking situation in front of a city facility the department decided it was appropriate for the employees to park in front of that facility didn't sound right to us, we checked with the liaisons and taking a look at and got a different answer in the one from the department so making that connection continue the department is something we hope to do every single day when he pick up the phone and talk with the liaisons to establish a connection so they know we have a question about, about fire safety that will be the topic the next training we got coming up and after that, we are asked

have a complaint about a post certified staff member whether police or sheriff go through a different process and that can go on a little bit longer. >> other times have an employee we need to speak to who is out on leave and not related to the undermined conduct can be another reason for the vocations stone a little bit longer than for the 90 days we strive for but each report is different those are some of the circumstances by which the complaint take longer than the 90 days. >> thank you. >> anyone else. >> thank you dave and the enar

charter mandate we issued an annual report on all measures for the city departments over 800 each department has a set of goals and have a team that worked with the department to workshop others measures and then beginning this spring we work with the departments and the mayor's office on any targeted that goes into the mayors book on june 1st, we try to put highlights a see the forest for the trees in the meeting and issued the annual report and the parks remain stable as 91 percent of the meeting maintenance standards. the general a park is meeting an acceptable standard at 85 percent and 9 out of 10 parks are at that level this give the

rec and park good information about which parks are are under performing at parks related to custodians and continue to work closely with them and building out dashboards for the quarterly results come in and the our city our home program this city performance group manages issued the annual report that is excuse me - details 200 and 95, $7 million that was spent for the funds and in this report we reported that 27 thousand plus households received services through the funds. and bright on line additional 1,000 plus

units. we also issued the nonprofit fiscal year monitoring annual report this koofrz we work with 12 different departments to take a look at nonprofits will have contracts with multiple departments or one department over one million dollars so in the pool we had one hundred and 97 nonprofits that account for one that side plus billion dollars? 92 percent of nonprofits pending in the city we need the place 4 nonprofits on elevated concerns working with them on the policy and working with that in that nonprofit how to meet the areas they did not meet. upcoming have a few items being issued we're been working with the department of health looking at treatment facilities acquisitions what are

some of the concerns for the behavorial health capacity this is taking a look at everything from the city buildings facilities for this city giving money to nonprofits, city providing loans to nonprofits and how can the city expand these needed services? we are planning to issue hospital ambulance diversion working with the emergency medical agencies for for the considerations causing delays for hospitals i'm sorry ambulances and able to enter into the emergency rooms for results for strategies to try to review this complex system not just the city partner butls the private hospitals and private ambulance agencies.

a as well as mental health taking a look at the key staffing positions both by the city and nonprofits look at some of the vacancies issues are and hiring strategies we can do as the city to increase um, that capacity for that important area and continue to do a lot of the work not actually published necessarily we can try to provide summaries to show but the just the end of february we're starting the work plan for the fiscal year that starts july 1st and doing that with audits and share the budget to insure we are across both sides addressing issues across the city and looking forward to having a new controller sworn in on thursday greg wagner from the

district the chief operating officer and works well we're excited to have him and today, we're going to have a team give highlights of an upcoming report on the go bond reporter and i'm going to turn it over to them in a second unless questions for me on this update? >> ben is leaving. >> ben is leaving yes. >> i might have that wrong. >> this is his last day on theirs. >> well, i'm excited go by and say goodbye to gwen e ben. >> he'll be moving to a different position. >> he's not retiring. >> i'll try to get by. >> when you report out on the various departments performs

measures, what is the what if a department didn't meet the obligation. >> that's a great question. we try to make sure the information is public so the information can be commissioners should be the department heads to know how they're doing the board of supervisors the mayor's office tend to use this if we print this in the book it tends to be but often hearing related to a particular topic. >> natasha one question. >> with the departments working with nonprofits monitoring they receive it might have been two or three meetings ago we discussed the financial

but their discussion when constitutes the timing. >> the definition is the most recent fiscal year and the reason nonprofit can be on different fiscal years, etc. so when we are doing fiscal year reporting we have a defined fiscal year has to be the most recent fiscal year for that we don't want it to be within two months but a six months buffer new end december of 2022 for example, as a nonprofit when we are monitoring fiscal year necessary that end june necessary that p then that required for the one that ends december 2022. >> they have to provide a financial audit within the fiscal year. >> yes. >> okay. i'll bring up the team here and.

>> good morning. i'm jason to introduce the team and city performing we still have a lot more work to do or working hard on the general obligation bond report. so i will introduce my colleagues as was pull up the slides so this is um, was originally an annual report doing it reporting on biannual basis the last time you saw this report was a while ago that will cover from july 2021 through june 2023. and we will um, this will be organized similar to the report go going into each bond in detail and talking through

the citywide issues we're discovered and brought into our previous work and um, will be talking about the updates and include a watch list with that, publishing in the next month or so and we are happy to take questions if you like us to bring in the report but today will be the highlight i'm going to turn it over to for my colleagues disgust methodology. thank you. >> thank you. with the performance team i'll be starting by briefly going have not methodology for the work we need the on the bonds is currently no way we started early fall and getting information from bond program managers on budget and after the

initiative data did interviews and summarizes that information into our draft report we are in the final phases of that right now have sent green drafts to the project manager's we'll be presenting some of the initial finding here. >> so if you're familiar with the report a lot of the voishdz will look familiar to you not a lot has changed similar to last year focusing on the budget to schedule the changes in the visible on the top left with the original projected end data for the components with the end date provided at the of gin 2021 and projected as of june 30th, 2023, and for the narrated we focused

on the changes and on the bottom right that is on the encompasses we are looking at the budget with the original budget would have been expended and you issued as of june 2023 and what is remaining at that time. (rustling of papers.) this is a visible from our executive summary that shows the bond programs 8 we define as active slow are two fell anti since the last report we're considering that is the 2014 and 2015 affordable housing with the 15 percent remaining um, so they have mostly in the administrative close out we

covered them briefly in the budget and not going into the schedule in the report. so this chart it is an offering of the by the end programs and in this a 2020 recovery and the total authorization half a billion dollars. >> all right. and so we basically but put the bonds out two, that we have in the park and health recovery general obligation bond program and so this is very high-level financial summary that is encumbered so two active health

general obligation bonds the 2012 have um, a combined total of three hundred and 76 and a half as of june 30th, 2023, (rustling of papers.) and then the two active um, affordable housing golden programs that is construction and preservation of affordable housing really thorough summary as earlier this is the 2019 affordable housing in 2016 we cover the 2015 affordable housing briefly and again, we're not covering it in the report. and just to say a slight typo three hundred and 16 and a half million dollars we'll be updating that and not $520 million. okay. and here on

the three active public safety and safety bonds the seawall and 2016 public safety and this is the largest policy and with the had and 57 and a half million dollars you remaining in the 200014 and lastly, the transportation go bond with one hundred and $19.4 million remaining on june 20th, 2023, and all right. again, if you're familiar with the last report we also included a section of the report watch list so focusing really on the schedule of different components of each bond what we saw if year 21

components that are delayed compared to 13 component from the last report. so a go to some of those the 2012 mp the neighborhood parks two years from the last report there are i think three projects contributing to the delays, however, i think all of those are fully open to the public. and the port that manages the waterfront parks component is having issues with the - which is connected with the landing that is delayed contributing to those delays. for the 2016 safety three components are delayed, you know, as you know there are pretty unique with the

loan program compared to the other bond programs and the blended funding so the compacts for three component same time is why they're all three a delayed and what we heard in the team this is interest rate environment and going through that today an increase that delays the last um, issuance of funds. all right. and for um, the 2019 affordable housing the components 4 have exercising delays there are zero in that far right column more ambitious timeline in the last report and going gone back to that other timeline that is why there is hopefully to avoid confusion all

the others are proceeding as plans but that in that too year timeframe and coordinating with the funding gaps, however, is proceeding as planned i think one project that was noted as having issues which was the laguna honda hospital senior housing project i think that was the last of temporary accommodations and for the 2020 health and recovery new agencies to here we want to note there is some slight delays since you issuance so manages the neighborhood park components and that delays was due to coordinating additional funding to scope out and figure out the final neighborhood projects. um, and for the street structures and plazas i think slight delays

it is because it is being determined because - determine how to best allocate those funds and i will pass this to guy to go through the rest of the lecture. >> good morning, commissioners. >> i'll be talking about the public safety and transportation fund starting off with the 20146 components delayed since the last report one thing to note with the mta they contain a lot of projects while the component of a full may seem like it's delayed some are complete and there over 50 percent of those projects are completed and the first component accessibility that is

the bart improvement that will be completed in 2026 and the caltrans will be completed in 2024 and the public safety safety bond the main component is a year since the last report that project is delayed because of difficulties around scheduling as an active hospital so construction team has to coordinate with the - um, and then as well as the building from the 19 san francisco police commission caltrans a number of unforeseen conditions with the discretionary review each time have to go to the state department and - moving to the 2020 easter bond starting with the fighting water system that

component to update the neglectful of pipelines and this project has been delayed to supply chain issues where um, the some of the materials have taken over a year to arrive on site. and moving to the neighborhood fire stations this component is building a new fire tank that was delayed to staff turn out at public utilities commission as well as ongoing negotiations for public utilities commission and fire department. >> moving to the disaster response facility that component is the updates and this component was delayed to need for more robust site assessments than originally anticipated for the top graphic facilities at the site and in addition to that, the site for the team had

to work with the planning department and had to work the architectural architect so the architect company was sold to twelve x so finding a replacement for the architect took time. >> so that concludes our active view the golden and talking about the issues brought up in the last report so we those issues were identified and the bond project manager's if those issues gotten better? or stayed the same or gotten worse? those issues are largely

unchanged for example, the city is hiring requirement means it can be difficult for teams to find qualified contractors from time to time and also the low cost continues for an award method move on to permitting approvals we continue to see the processing times and some exceptions have allowed projects to advance more quickly than others and particularity homelessness and those project teams report a reduction of thirty percent moving to external sorry still internal the departments must continue to get approval from the commissions and many projects

must be approved by public works and anytime tlirldz to be approved by the commission is a little bit low at $1 million that means that many smaller projects need approval by the commission so as to the project timelines as well. and lastly, external action approvals we heard that receiving the approval from external is pg&e agencies is an issue. >> next we've got bond planning so prebond funding is useful but the amount is limited and the project not grown this will continue to be an issue. and then estimate have come down since precovid highs there are

tools that the teams use to estimate the costs and so sometimes, the estimates cve they receive from vendors is different and capital administration departments use a decentralized tool. and the city's contractor valuation is not used an under evaluation and moving to the deferred maintenance it continues to grow so this will continue to grow as we go along. and lastly, the city lacks the constant maintenance it contributes to a lack of keeping up the city facilities. that concludes our overview of the citywide issued as part of this group our group

took a - we spoke with 6 cities and so this also satisfies the charter mandated that is we're required to benchmark san francisco against other cities. and then in those discussions we concluded that generally most of the cities are facing similar issues and the city motorcyclists are looking at the capital delivery this benchmarking effort will help they're efforts as well. next slide, please. and so those are some of the topic areas we interviewed the districts and for more detailed for the benchmarking you can find that in the published

report as that comes out. and that concludes my presentation. any questions? >> in discussing the way this is covers every type of delay that is a project might encounter is it also include contracting classes in terms of something that the city caused? and results in really large center charges for the incarcerating you pay more money how much of what you are discussing is that. >> i believe that does include all of those delays as well. >> those are. >> for the information that was in the - three schedule - the watch list you are referring to. >> i'm sorry.

>> for one we're discussing those delays that's what you're referring to? >> okay. yeah. >> (multiple voices.) >> so the delays the projected ones we received into the. >> 17. scheduling of meetings, other events. those include all types of plans so- >> could be a bunch of that included in those delays? >> correct. >> are there steps city is talking to reduce the amount of delays into a quarter inch among the agencies from loans to - >> lack of coordination? >> cooperation. >> yes. it is definitely an important area. you want to take this one. >> thank you for that question. in our report we have highlighted delays due to

interdepartmental cooperation confessor external both sides and highlighting those reports in several areas we've seen some bright spots of better coordination but areas we'll try to highlight in the report and continue to monitor and incorporate into our projects over the next coming fiscal years. >> we'll follow that with interest. >> is this report one you presented is available? i don't see it in the package i looked at. >> it is the final link in the agenda. i believe. >> and could have easily missed that i'll go back. >> okay. thank you. >> i have a question about the benchmarking study. how long did that take and how often do you

do that according to the charter was the mandatory. >> it is fairly high lovely didn't require is us to have a benchmark but again the to the bieber in the charter mandates we had a variety of types of benchmarking as some of the qualitative benchmarking not, you know, a comparison of performers and metrics across multiple jurisdictions we do that benchmarking in another areas and so we have we do benchmarking as part of the projects and a stand alone projects a variety will be covered in the performance plan in the following year. >> how long did that take this one. >> this one i think we started um, developing the interviews and contracts and figuring out who the jurisdictions for the

sunlight matter at the beginning of summer and interviews optimistic of the summer and it takes time you have to get people on people's calendar and leaving on vacations so this took time and wrapped up in a couple of months i think of work. >> question? >> slide 11 the second yes - >> i looked through and say the second box in that item was -

proving to be a constant 0 problem is a solution like recognizable bidding process the contractors are submitting bids on the projects and have to go through a survey own the performance history any kind of violations or violations and how well, they're put together - does it show they're ahead of game and getting the materials - instead of- the lowest responsible contractor. >> yeah. so city departments use a variety of the contracting methods in this case we're highlighting the low cost option for the contracting yes 1962 a concern and something we

continue to see we talk about with the project manager and shareholders factors for the performances that not restricted to low cost bidding by little departments are monitoring very closely. >> they monitor and watch that and . >> i can't speak on behalf of the departments but i'm issue we plan to cover in the report and incorporated part of the work programming for the support we can provide to the departments in the future and speaking out loud. >> does the city taxpayer money like structure that is part of the process for when this money is given to the projects and (background noise.) responsible bidding (microphone distorted). >> as far as i know the

department could those reviews had celebrating contract but might go with the lowest cost due to financial reasons but can't comment on behalf of the departments. >> that is the um, what is that? that they try to save money to show - and right. >> that's correct. >> (laughter.) >> a difficult challenge. >> appreciate the response. thank you. >> one more question and falls on the comments made earlier today about every head a comment on capital programs and necessary services to execute do you look at how the overhead is allocated in the city and individualness of that and follows a standard or other guidelines in the past life we

look to cycle have you accessed that. >> we've for the assesses it in this particular report but it is um, an interesting cap of the conversation and happy to take a look at it and look at that important a future work planning. >> okay. at the. >> um, and being covered from the industry it is that much of a difficulty or the contractors don't want to try there is a lot of availableness in the city and county of san francisco to meet those. >> yeah. >> so much here we do so much to help contractors is hire locally have you seen any

specific - the contractors are not from this area because contractors are out of the bay area and . >> position one of the many examples and we'll cover in mower daily you're right a lot of programs we have in the city that um, help contractors with um, their requirements um, and so um, while not an in depth xhoosht how one issues impacts those are questions we can continue to raise in the report that's a valid point but provided to help people to meet those um, those goals so we'll definitely be interested in diving deeper in the report. >> i forget that is the

highlight. >> yeah. >> as an example. >> one other question you mentioned some of the departments are problems with the bidding process. a state law there are alternate methods of procurement they could use for example, and negotiated in some situations. >> and i think there their experience has been good and speaking of this experiences both sides yeah, it is competitively bid but lowest compliments and complaints and you the owner of the city in this case could have negative experience going back decades with the same contractors and their response is and they did

job is things like prequalify and going to negotiate be procurement process eliminations some of the problems. when would our recommendations include things like that or is that beyond our purview. >> those are different procurement methods we've seen and one of the challenges we have several departments um, who are leveraging some of the procurement tools we have defer between specialist departments that is another reason why some of the challenges that the departments are facing um, and in their implementation. um, so we see difference between the departments with a variety of contracting methods and supportive for the as comprehensive um, north africa we're trying to highlight at a - >> and would you (unintelligible). >> but whatever you can do

worthwhile. >> appreciate that. >> can you pile up slide 6. >> yeah. we're missing something. >> um, maybe slide 5. >> okay. yeah, i'm curious about the choices for the 2020 bond issuance in the entirety and discussion and not include the $200 million for the housing section. this is a. >> this is question we've discussing extensively an expansion and scope bond we put it in this slide and taking

feedback on how to um, incorporate it into the report and recommendations for very open to our suggestions. >> i this that is tricky but i would think as member of the public more interested in knowing another $200 million affordable housing. >> i appreciate that and we can consider breaking down the component and putting in the appropriate subject area and comprehensive look at the bond will be be appropriate chartered to highlight the various parts of the report. >> any other questions? >> thank you all >> thank you.

>> thank you. all righty good morning. i'm with the kr0er78d and pleasure to be here and do have a couple of updates on the debt calendar as of december most timely one general obligation bond so introduced for the supervisors meeting on february 6th and in 2024 we expect that resolution appropriation ordinance to board on march 24th and given that o p f will expect to calendar year so the second update for the calendar is that later in the fiscal year 25 we expect to issue the final issuance of 2019 housing bond so and i'm here to

can't make the projects work like that. >> are there any programs passed their three year contracts. >> you know, why have a comprehensive list off the top of my head but can follow-up. >> okay. thank you. >>. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> from the item 6 our calendar final item 6 our calendar. >> i'll have to get back to you it's on the computer the
