the median income is 60% for all units. i would be happy to answer any questions. >> i just have a question about when the time -- about when the project would be completed. >> i am not sure. i would have to have bridge housing give you more details. >> good morning, supervisors. the construction is 20 months. >> 20 months beginning later this month pending bond approval? >> thank you. we do not have a budget analyst report because there is no general fund liability with this item, correct? why don't we open this up for public comment, are there those that wish to speak on item number one?

seeing 9, public comment is closed. this item is before us, can we move this with recommendation? we can do that without objection. item two. >> item number two, ordinance authorizing the adult probation department to retroactively except and expand a grant in the amount of $747,000 from the united states department of justice to implement reentry, a comprehensive reentry pathway for people on post release community supervision in san francisco. >> that you very much. >> i would like to thank the mayor of's budget office and the board analyst for your work on this.

one of my new responsibilities is to establish and monitor the realignment services for our ab109 population. we will accept an expanded the grant from the u.s. department of justice into launched reentry sf which is designed to be a comprehensive reentry program for those on supervision. people come directly to us from state prison as well as those on mandatory supervision, those returning from county jail. the second chance act is the sixth that the city of san francisco has received. san francisco has competed nationally in these national competitions than any other. this is the intended to be

one piece of the alignment services was building for our population. this is in addition to the services, funding allocated by the board in the appropriation. we know we will have to continue to aggressively identify other sources of funding, to continue to build out the capacity that we need to bring out the housing, education, and employment needs. this will augment the services and supervision of a pd by strengthening our capacity to provide critically needed planning, organization, transportation, mentor ship, and vocational skills training educational programs, job training. we expect to serve 195 individuals during the first year. too rapidly implement reentry sf, we partnered with the senior offender program, good will, bay

view sf. they have been engaged in the planning since day one and are critical planners with the capacity in place to make this happen quickly and effectively. a full $620,000 will be distributed to these four partners to provide these services, to walden for transportation. the used justice institute will provide mentors ship. the adult probation plans to spend money to allow for the ordination of case planning. the department has proposed a

halftime position within their reentry division dedicated to coordinating the services. this will be responsible for coordinating and conducting all of the pre release planning for individuals released from state prison and county jails. we will be sharing the health records as well as from our local system. by dedicating a person to this, we will be able to gather and assess the information about folks coming back to us prelease said that we can better target resources. one example is the resources of transportation, this is very costly, very time-consuming, to drive to the prison to pick someone up. we're committed to doing that for those of serious mental illness or other news but we

need a good pre release information so that we can direct limited resources. that is our plan. provided that this goes forward, i expect we will be on track. >> i'm delighted to see that we are securing this grant. what is the 12,000 for travel? >> i will let diane answer that. >> this is for transporting people into our county.

>> what is the current practice for the pickup delivery of someone from the outside? >> they are in the process of developing a policy but right now our officers are driving up to the state and bringing the clients into our office. >> do they go through it everywhere in the state or do they go to a central -- such as sacramento. >> they specifically go to sacramento and san quentin. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. >> i just want to add, the goal of the adult probation department is to have -- once the deputy probation officers are brought on it early next

year, we will have more capacity to do more transportation. but now, we are part rising high as the individuals for the transportation. we have deputy probation officers right now driving the weekends, 6:00 a.m., at all hours and days, but we try to do is target of transportation to the people that have very low functioning levels and who might not even safely make it back to san francisco. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. supervisor chu: we do have a budget analyst report for this item. >> the 1-year reentry but it has a budget of $1.4 million, and that includes the u.s. department of justice fund. an additional 700 $708,000 in

other matching funds. the budget details as well as the funding sources are shown in the table, table 1, on page 4 of our report. i would note, because the new 1823 senior administrative analyst position is coded as a grant-funded position, the position will terminate at the expiration of the grants. we recommend you approve this proposal ordinance. supervisor chu: thank you. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? >> jane, and jane, jane i found our budget time to job training

train, train, train time to do some job training first of all we need some money change new 9 chain, a chain, and chang, i found the budget i am just the money linking chain we need some money change change and we need some job change training. supervisor chu: is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor mirkarimi: motion to set with recommendations. supervisor chu: we can do that without objection. thank you. item 3. >> item 3. resolution authorizing the department of emergency management to retroactively accept and expend a fy2009 buffer zone protection program grant in the amount of $199,820 from the u.s. department of homeland security, through the california emergency management agency, to fund critical infrastructure protection needs.

supervisor chu: thank you. >> amie alden. the bread before you today as the buffer zone protection program. this is a grant from the u.s. department of homeland security that is designed to protect critical infrastructure. the grants go from the fed's to our state, cal ema, to local law enforcement to enhance security around critical infrastructure. examples include power plants, dams, stadiums, financial institutions. part of homeland security works with law-enforcement to identify the site that may have some risks associated with it and to identify specific threats and vulnerability. they grant money to the local un force the agency to enhance planning, equipment, and training in the to mitigate the risk to the side. for this grant, the department of homeland security is given approximately $200,000 off to

the san francisco police department for equipment. specifically, equipment used by the bomb squad and four interoperable radio equipment. department of medicine management is a fiscal agent for this grant, which is why i am here. there is no local match to this funding. free money for the city and county of san francisco. the opposition's funded and no grant funds have yet been encumber or expanded. happy to answer any questions you have. >> supervisor chu: we do not have a general fund impact, so there is no budget analyst report. if there are no questions, let's open up to public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? >> good morning, supervisors. my name is douglas yep. i have lived in san the scope for 59 years. i would like to speak in support of the resolution. by, among others, especially on

the east coast feel that san francisco has not gone recognized as an active target for overseas terrorists. i know that terrorism is the lifeline of san francisco. i think we have to be realistic and recognize the fact that san francisco is among one of the top targets for overseas terrorists, even the most of the people here in san francisco lead to downplay that. this item is something that is overdue, and i have to admit, homeland security does a good job, even the recently they did have that item that was publicized nationally, warning us about exploding turkey during thanksgiving. i thought that was kind of a reach for homeland security. i guess that is part of their job. this resolution goes to something that is pretty basic, which is government's

responsibility to protect its residents. 200,000 is more than nothing. san francisco needs to be on its toes to recognize, that even though we are a city of tolerance, one thing that we will not tolerate is terrorists trying to hurt our residents. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. are there other members of the public who wish to speak on item 3? seeing none, public comment is closed. calis, can we send item forward with recommendations? without objection. item for. >> -- four. >> item 4. resolution fixing prevailing wage rates for: 1) workers performing work under city contracts for public work and improvement; 2) workers performing work under city contracts for janitorial services; 3) workers performing work in public off-street parking lots, garages, or storage facilities for automobiles on property owned or leased by the city; 4) workers engaged in theatrical or technical services

for shows on property owned by the city; 5) workers engaged in the hauling of solid waste generated by the city in the course of city operations, pursuant to a contract with the city; and 6) workers performing moving services under city contracts at facilities owned or leased by the city. supervisor chu: thank you. this is an item that come before us every year to set the prevailing wage rates. do we have a representative from the department's to present on this item? >> good morning, supervisors. rich david. here to answer any questions you have. this is the animal prevailing wage that we file every year. supervisor chu: could you explain generally the process you go through, what this looks

like? for many of us, we have seen this item time and again, but just for the general public will reset the prevailing wage rate might be useful. >> the process as we survey get information from the state, as well as some of the larger unions that represent the people functioning in these capacities and get their current rates that we would use to set for the city in any contract we contract with outside agencies, third-party, that sets the prevailing base line for which we would contract out the work. supervisor chu: the prevailing wage that the city has passed indicates the city would be paying prevailing wages for certain trades or jobs that we actually contract out for. your job has been to survey a number of different employers to see what the prevailing market rate has beenne
