10:03 pm

10:04 pm
we're currently in the process of review and looking at and determining whether we want to bring forgot a set of recommendations around holly the percentages or moving forward. so we're going to be currently in that process which includes department head recommendation and karaoke representation and my own representation. so over the next three to four months we'll have a set of recommendations as to how we should precede. we have the fourteen initiatives we have department labor grants that are h1 b grants. we're in our second year and that grant will end june 30th of 2014 pardon our workforce grant
10:05 pm
is around technology in terms of workforce and being innovative we're in entrant two and that will end. and our disability grant will end actually - that one will end in september 2014 pr the only funding we receive is through another d l grant that will end june 30th on 2015 and that is for individuals that are in child support. the focus is to help them get on their feet. our key workforce areas are the academies. we have 4 now health care, hospitality and technology.
10:06 pm
we also have a set of neighborhood assess points. we don't have one that covers all 11 district but we have 5 that we pope hope can cover those 11 district. in addition we have a couple of youth programs called ramp. those are for individuals that are typically in the age range of 20 to fourteen. and your overall outcomes however, around 3 thousand served. we place roughly about 2 thousand individuals through our all of our program areas. keeping in mind that the individuals we focus on the average skills are high school diplomas and geds. and we trained around 1 thousand
10:07 pm
folks. we receive two new fte from the mayor's office for first, you source. one will be dedicated to end use and the other for professional services on the construction side and the other key financial budget issue we will receive some budget cuts from sequestration. i'll stop p there. i want to request questions about the two ftes. so if you could explain what the role of those two folks will be doing. i'm happy to hear we're beefing up our program. any experience in the past we have not had enough ftes with
10:08 pm
experience. we had first source contracts for foods and they signed off they're to go through the mission and didn't do that. then we have america's cup experience which looks like it has not been upheld and it seems like we had the program within a w d it they worked the way they should we wouldn't have controversy >> on the cityville side we have 6 dedicated ftes. around construction. we now will be able to start with the same compliance with the end use for the america's cup. and in addition to any other what we call in use opportunity
10:09 pm
due to construction we now will have to dedicated ftes. it's been a reduction of opportunities but this will allow us to start sort of beefing up contains for end use source. so we'll have two dedicated ftes that will focus on the whole food opportunities the america's cup. i would envision the inuse part of that wherecyville will do the construction we'll have some people power to do the end use >> it that making sure we have access to the jobs. >> no, this will be all around
10:10 pm
enforcement. we have contracts that will help out on the crack side but the ftes are there to insure that the enforcement happens >> i know there's a lot of discussion on how to make sure theirs transparency were there had a ton neighbor folks involved but how we can have some relationship with the a o w d workforce to make sure we're hitting our milestones. >> yeah, we have that hearing later on today. i definitely met with the community group. there's a whole a lot of discussion around community involvement. we're in the works with a number of community groups to see what that structure will look like
10:11 pm
>> i want to thank you for that. we have not had any significant workforce community groups. especially we're looking at moving objects to employment my district is dedicated to helping with that. >> okay and a supervisor mar. >> thank you, ms. simmons for the workforce development and the strategic workforce on the key factors you're working on that's been constant with the hospitality health care and also the construction and the end use jobs as well. i had a question about the
10:12 pm
community workforce commission that is focus on really addressing the profound employment barriers that many people in the neighborhood have. for example, what sort of san franciscans have barely a high school diplomacy. i wonder if you could talk about the community pathway that i'm and how it, it's into the boarder citywide enforcement >> we're excuse me. many of the individuals or the community based orchestras that are part of that coalition are part of the protocol we fund. and so i think their efforts do
10:13 pm
kind of already coincide with our portfolio. i think while our economy is increasing and we love that. we have very low unemployment rate. i think everyone involved in the workforce are those who have e lowest skills are trooil to beef them up. so that degree we've been doing a lot of pirndz trying to figure out how to leverage individuals with lower skilled and a education opportunity that move that skill set as quickly as you can given that the market moves very rapidly.
10:14 pm
10:15 pm
10:16 pm
events we're working closely with is reacting to the boston marathon how we're going to manage this huge font based on the events there. there are subsequent announcement theirs not going to be starting the events on july 4th. so we're going adding those operational responsibilities. we've wshgd the contractors and they've been taken advantage of the larceny timeline. we've had contract meetings
10:17 pm
ahead of the cup. and we've participated and their massive live nation for the concert fairs and the opportunities as referenced earlier. so we're hopefully to have a better performances in hiring this year. in addition we're releasing how to get folks to the events. we're learning the lessons from the live nation stage to really hopefully to have a positive experience for those investors as well as those city residents who are using the public transportation and using the sidewalks and bicycles. so broadly that's our situation
10:18 pm
operationally. in terms of financial perform. as you know the america's cup is continuing its program to expanding the cup fundraising program. we recently received significant hundreds of thousands of dollars. we're expecting reimbursement before the end of the fiscal year and at that point we'll wrap the expenditures for the remaining amount. so get it payment in hand and wrap up the books and next year we're hoping to have the projections we've described. that's broadly the summary
10:19 pm
10:20 pm
10:21 pm
we could i guess spectator projections if there are are more weigh station. >> and then our source of funding at least $10 million is that what we're expecting for the organizing activities is that coming in our general fund? i know there was destruction and i know that we were looking at - what are relooking like >> we're not proposing any changes to the america's cup activities. i think the prior statement says the tax revenues were to draw a picture if the debt was negative if the expenditures continued.
10:22 pm
but we continue to have the fundraising efforts >> and then in terms of our budget we had to allocate a source of fund for the $10 million. what's the exact source of funding? >> fund-raising? >> fund-raising. >> okay. thank you. and a colleagues any other questions at this point? >> supervisor. >> yes, thank you. i just. are they done with the overall presentation? >> one final comment. we're not yet in full agreement with the budget analyst but we're going to try over the next week to make that happen
10:23 pm
>> i just wanted to bring ms. simmons back up. i am concerned with the one stop that others are having difficulties. it makes a clear there's a need for additional support for those one stops that are not up to par. i want ms. simmons to speak to that with contracts that are under your department >> sure. so historically we've had 5 one stops from 2009 and 2010. we grew the one stops. when i first arrived there were 2 we now have 5. and over the last few years the
10:24 pm
challenges have remained in the couple of the communities one in western addition and one being nights valley. the one stop so folks understand how their ran and staffed. your department is one that community based organizations to provide the services. we have not be able to provide those sources. but over the years we've been able to provide the services but as a rule we don't provided direct services. there's a lot of needs inform both community. we've struggled to find the based organizations to provide
10:25 pm
the competent services. and the same would be true for the d-10 for visitation valley. we have at least one fte out of my office to increase capacity. so we can insure that a level of captive problematicly happens in a more efficient manner. the cost to operate those one stops covers around half a million to 150 roughly. and that includes, you know, everything from the operational costs to the program costs. while everybody may not be equal it w it was primarily with the one
10:26 pm
general fund to support those efforts. so the challenge to see that the staffing is adequate. we've tried a number of different approaches with a number of nonprofit. so i'm hoping to move forward this new model to have one fte out of your office as well as a cd are will help. the two communities probably if i looked demographics a population of individuals utilizeing the things. >> so clearly some of the other successful one stop job centers
10:27 pm
are able to leverage other fund to make sure they have the capacity to be successful in delivering on job opportunity for their constituents. and what that means clearly from my prospective the ones most challenged need a lot more sports from our office in terms of oversight as well as appropriate capacity to deal with the levels of needs in terms of helping with the job opportunities >> yeah. and as i said we're trying something new to provide the fte to provide an enhanced level of support services >> thank you. >> colleagues any other questions at this time? >> mr. rose we're going to go
10:28 pm
to our budget analyst and a members i would note on page 15 of our report the report that america's cup organizes committee there's expenditures for the america's cup but the detailed expenditure budget provided to the budget and legislative analyst office is 70 million 56009. there will be an appropriate reduction but there's a discrepancy in the budget right now >> could you highlight that it's on the page. the proposed budget includes $10 million from the america's
10:29 pm
cup organizing committee but i'm referred e refer to expenditures of 9 million plus. the detailed expenditure budget put to the budget office is not that 9 million 175 but rather 7 million plus. to support that 9 million is not there are. our understanding is the mayor's office will be reducing the budget for the discrepancy that's included in the budget and the details of 7 million plus. again we've report to you back next week. with respect to our recommended reductions on page 17 of our report. our recommended reductions total
10:30 pm
4 hundred and plus. including 34 thousand 130 are ongoing 336. in addition we recommended closings out the funds and it would have a return to the general fund. so for 13 and fourteen there is a series of numbers. and have that amount 41 thousand ongoing a one-time we're still working with the department and we'll report balk back to you next week on our reductions >> colleagues any questions. >> maybe if you
