criminal justice system whether it be prosecution or defense are the families, the women and children that we serve. and we are the ones that are out there on the ground, in the community, serving those needs that probably are more hidden from the public than most. and it is a tough time for all of us. budget wise, but for, those of us who represent survivors in court, if you have noticed that the courts are substantially reduced in the capacities it is particularly difficult for those women or survivors who are not english speaking and are low income, there are no court reporters, so that we are constantly waiting to get into court and there are no translators so that the resources, our resources are called on by the court and so in closing, let me just tell you our appreciation for renewing the commitment of san francisco to eliminating domestic violence, this is a progressive and enlightened

city and there is no room in this city for violence against women, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> next speaker, please? >> good afternoon, supervisors beverly upton san francisco domestic violence, and i would like to thank supervisor cohen for her leadership and supervisor chiu and everybody on the committee for ending all violence against women. i want to thank the department and the status of women and the commission on the status of women, i think that under the leadership of dr. murase we have seen unprecedented healing and moving forward on domestic violence and sexual assault policies, this is all part of this package to move san francisco in the direction that it needs to go. we all know that we are headed in the right directions, and i really just want to thank my colleagues for their fine work? you know, it is very rare that we can get, a representative from every legal agency that

does this work at the table. but they made time today because how important it is. and (inaudible) voluntary legal services, proc, and (inaudible) bay legal aid form the safety net to all of the constituents that you have in your districts to every survivor in every zip code. so we are here to thank you. and we know san francisco cares. thank you. >> thank you, very much. >> any other members of the public that wish to speak on item number 9? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> supervisor cohen do you have any other comments? >> yes, thank you, i wanted to say thank you to the advocates that have come out and also community members that have speak to such an important item. as a mentioned in the program of the full board a couple of weeks ago when this item was discussed. i think that these funds are needed to insure that we have a robust community network of providers that can work with

victims of domestic violence and their families to get the appropriate legal representation they need and as well as have culturally competent resources afforded to them. so colleagues, please, consider this. >> thank you. >> comments? >> questions? >> i will just say that i'm going to be supportive here, absolutely. you know, i do think that especially that we have in the budget season in earnest and a lot of supplementals are also coming forward. it is something that we need to be cautious about and i think that for the domestic community we need to do a lot of things in the healing and i need to be supportive here. the motion to move approval? >> item number 9? >> i will second it and i want to thank the mayor's budget staff for expressing what the mayor's interest is and analyzing these services for the next year. >> okay. thank you very much and we can

do that without opposition. >> mr. clerk, could you call item number 8? >> item 8. ordinance amending the san francisco administrative code to reskend the sunset clause in the san francisco bonding and financing assistance program, making technical amendment and environmental findings. >> thank you we have mr. hansen here from the administrator's office. >> thank you, before i begin with a short presentation, i would like to request a technical acommendment to the description of the item. it appears that a few extra words made it on the end. it should end with make technical amendments and there are two statements make environmentals and findings of consistentcy with general plan that should be removed. >> i appreciate that amendment to the description. >> okay. >> so thank you. we are here today to talk about the city wide surty bond and

financial guarantee assistance program and i will start with a brief history of the program. it was formally established in 1997 to provide small contractors vying for city construction contracts assistance in abstaining the guarantees required to compete for those contracts. the eligibility is based upon several factors and has caught a 5 in the 14 d ordinance and it is for local business enterprises that are city-based contractors. this program was adopted and amended in 2008 to create a self-insurance fund for the city's portion of the guarantees, that we back on behalf of these contracting partners for the surty companies that they do business with. and that has provided some administrative stream lining to

the program. and the structure is such that there is a program administrator who does work with the contractors and their brokers directly. there is a support component and a monitoring component to it as well. and you can see these various bullet points here. there are financial assistance with getting certified financial statements and there is assess ans with the cloteral for the bond guarantees and funds and program wide assistance through the term of the contracted bond amount. and so that is the operational component of it. the pending legislation before you provides a technical clean up to 14 b, basically acknowledging the transfer of function for the city administrator office from the human rights commission of the program and also removes the sunset data of the program. the operational effect to remove the sunset date would

help us in the administrative and operational process by taking additional costs out of the process. and processes. by performing duplicative letters of credit transactions where we cannot extend a contract or a bond for an overlapping term of either the letter of credit, sunset or the program sunset. so it creates an operational hurtle by having those dates in there and additional costs. >> what we will continue to do, post transfer of function is to take a look at the program further, take a look at what other stream lining options we have in the process. we will be working with controllers office in the city attorney's office to take a look at what we can do under the current code and perhaps come back with future recommendations. but this one was some what of a no brainer in the beginning. we just wanted to make sure

that this was done since the sunset is coming up in june and that right now, is hindering transactions with that date in the ordinance. >> so with that i will take questions. >> colleagues any questions on item number 8? >> great. >> seeing none, we will go to the budget and analyst report. >> mr. chair, i do have one question. >> supervisor mar? >> i just wanted to ask what is the effectiveness of this program in supporting local business enterprises and this small guy contractors? >> yeah, thank you for that. it has been significantly effective and i believe that the budget analyst report actually has cotified that in real dollars and while there is a net cost to the city there is documented contracting and savings by having the ldes participate in the contracting process. >> are there like members of the local firms that have been

supported and that this program can point to of success besides being financially successful for the city and how has it impacted the small contractors? >> yes, thank you for that as well. the success of the program is not only in the dollars, it really is not a money maker if you will. it is not something that we have set out to gain savings but that is a nice operational effect. of having this program. what it does, is it really educates the small contracting community. whether or not they actually wind up getting bonded through the program t provides the assistance to the contractor, to get certified financially and to make sure that they understand the process of bonding that they understand the process of contracting with governmental agencies and really gives them the program wherewithal to participate in the process. >> thank you very much.

>> we will go to the analyst report. >> i am in page 38 of our report, we report that the in table five shows that the city administrator projected fiscal year, 13-14 year budget which approximates the cost of the city in this program is 740,000 dollars, and that would be the cost or the estimated cost of it making this program permanent. and with respect to the committee's questions regarding the savings, we point out on page 39, of our report, that this is in table six. that based on information provided by meryweather and williams, the surety bond generated 1.3 million in city awarded contracts savings between 08-09 and 11-12, that is based on the difference

between the low bid submitted by participating lbes and the second lowest bid. so that would partially offset, the estimated 2.6 million dollar cost to the city of operating this program over the period from fiscal year 08-09 to 11-12. we will consider the approval of this ordinance to be a policy matter for the board of supervisors. >> thank you. >> colleagues any questions? >> okay. at this point i like to open up to public comment. is there any member of the public to comment on item 8? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> city attorney, i am sorry, we are going to reopen public comment. you know what? i did have that. is this miss tan? >> thank you very much. you did spell it, you filled out a card. >> great opportunity to speak her, i have (inaudible) my name

(inaudible) is my to present my district and thank you all for your great work. and five years ago when the economy start to slow down, all funding comes, job, or small contractors like me, and we are too high of a risk. as you all know in all of the contractors to be a government construction project you need to have a (inaudible). and when the bonding companies deny us a bonding, we had nowhere to go only one action, close the door for our business. and i have known (inaudible) and williams for four years. and they have worked with me and other small (inaudible) like us to (inaudible) coaching

>> deputy city attorney john gibner. just a clarification that the amepdment to the title should remove the words and finding with consistency of general plans but you could leave in the difference to the environmental planning which are in section one of the ordinance. >> okay. >> colleagues this is technical amendment could you do that without opposition? >> yes. >> that is so moved. >> and could we have a motion to approve number eight as amended? >> so moved. and we can do that without opposition. >> thank you very much. could you call item number ten. >> resolution to authorize the mayor's office of housing to submit an application to the california department of housing and community development for funding under cal home program, the execution of a standard agreement as selected for such fund and any amendments there to. >> thank you, welcome. >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is ryan chiu for the

director of development and housing. over the last few years the state has authorized funding for the cal home program which allowed them to apply for money for single family home we have and for the assistance targeted to families earning at 80 percent ami or lower, the city has been successful in the last four or five. the last offering of the state was in 2011, and they are offering this program in 2013 as a condition of our application. we are required to submit a resolution from the board authorizing us to apply. the limit is $1.5 million and that is what we are applying for and we are successful in receiving the full amount over the past four years, we split the amount so that $750,000 goes to down payment assistance for the owners who are purchasing the below market rate units and $750,000 goes toward single family home owners primarily senior and

family whose need those dollars for their single family we have and it has been an excellent source of additional support for these programs. and each year, the state says that it may be the last year, and we thought last time around might be the last one but we have one more round and so we would like your permission and approval to submit the attached resolution, and i understand that speaking with the legislative clerk's office and the language in this resolution not only includes apply for, but also includes language authorizing the ex-excusing of the agreements and i know that that is a little bit or goes a little bit further than what it will apply for the resolution contains it is because we are mirroring the language that is in the model state template and we will be coming back to you if we are successful in our application to request and accept and expend the resolution, even though it includes this resolution cause

we will not be able to to do it until we could accept and expend the resolution, despite this change in format, i respectfully request that we can go forward with this because we are miles mirroring the language. it is the same language that we have gotten through the board the last few years. and >> supervisor mar? >> thanks, i just wanted to ask mr. chiu, with the 1.5 million, how many rehabs and how many families are helped with loan down payment assistance? are there numbers up? >> yes. so we typically are able to support 19 families with down payments assistance. with a maximum low amount of 36,000 and we support approximately 13 families with single family rehabs with a maximum loan of $60,000.

so a total of 32, different house holds. >> thank you. >> colleagues any further questions? >> thank you very much. mr. chiu. >> we don't have a budget analyst report on this item so i would like to open it up for public comment, any members of the public come forward, seeing none public comment is closed. >> colleagues, could we have a... >> yes. >> i wanted to clarify, are we amending this legislation to remove the language concerning execution? >> i believe that was the discussion that we had. >> back to mr. chiu. >> well, my request would be to approve the resolution as you have in your packet that does include the execution language because that does model the language that the state prefers. and so it would be as have you in your packets. >> okay. >> to the city attorney, any issues with it from our end. it is something that i would be

supportive of. >> the city attorney, john gibner again and you can adopt the language as proposed. as mr. chiu explained, either the agreements and the future of the accept and expend would require the board approval and the department will come back to the board for approval or would not require board approval in which case you would not need this language in the first place. i think that the purpose of the language is really to meet the states's requirement of what has to be in this resolution. >> okay. >> thank you very much. >> so the colleagues, i would as is, permission to approve without opposition? >> thank you very much, mr. chiu. >> could you please call item number 1 1 in >> resolution authorizing the execution issuance of sale and delivery of a multifamily more taj revenue note and subordinate multifamily housing revenue bond in the aggregate

do not take the elevators, there are blind spots and i have got this thing about ambushing so i don't like it. so just safety thing, take the stairs. secondly, i didn't have an opportunity when i was here last night because i was in mourning, to say a thank you to sergeant tad yamaguchi, he did an incredible job of trying to make the building safer and was treated very badly by property manager and social services. he actually came to the community meeting and he was going to be my two minutes worth of public comment. and i am so relieved he was escorted out. i apologized to him later and i said, we will just work harder our own way. and so, i wanted to say that. the other thing that i wanted to say is that i have been looking at this whole business of tourists being attacked.

when i live in hawaii, which i did do, hawaii came up with something, honolulu which worked. they were having these tourists who were coming and they were not actually being treated to the aloha spirit. they were being mugged on wakiki beach and we could not have that. well the bad guys that were out on bail having been mugged six or seven times are going to fly back from minnesota and came up with something that will work here in san francisco. the police department, the hotels and the airlines paid for airfare, hotel, these cards and so they were able to come back and testify, assaults on tourists dropped to nothing. so it works. so contact honolulu pd and if you contact say hi to the chief fradis i knew
