if you add the departmental work orders you're looking at approximately $70 million we send out. and i get questions of how do we monitor those grants. we have developed a 3 prong approach to supporting our grantees. and that's to do fiscal oversight in which our grantees receive a visit from us to assess their problematic quality and we do joint monitoring around physical health. we provided capacity building. so when our program manager so out in the field and they identify some weaknessesness we bring in a program crouch so
12:31 am
increase the quality of their program. we have several workshops we send our agencies to attend some are administered by controllers officer. and 15 we do data and evaluation we want to make sure we're constantly learning from the field and we want to make sure we're asking all the right questions to get to the outcome. it's - to me it's a process we need to check. so in conclusion we very happy that the property tax revenue is continuing to grow and the children programs are growing along with it. we're still working with the controllers office to know what the children's projections are. the revenue will help the
12:32 am
department to meet the revenue challenges. and we're existed we'll be able to expand services. we want to keep the intent of the children allocation fund hold. i want to note we issued on a rfp earlier this year and last week, we announced all our award. the rfp washgs was for two services areas what we call wide lead. if you drill down into both those service areas for other school times we made an intentional decision to allocate
12:33 am
more fund into the programs. after talking to the key save holder parents want programs that are comprehensive so they can send their work but that their children will have access to 5 days a week programs. we also do our assessment and allocation process decided to increase thorough allocation for the workforce because wumgs through conversations and public comments from our community we roiltsdz that workforce is a key area of need for our young people. so those are the two significant additions or changes within our rfp other than that we have no other changes. the - we actually increased the
12:34 am
rfp by 2 percent in funding. for the cycle >> thank you i want to depreciate back to something you mentioned that you checked in - regarding the comprehensive after school programs you talked to the parents what they wanted did you talk to folks who don't have - was there any kind of outreach done and what are the programs that don't have parents that are actively engaged? that's a good question. yes, we partnered with those - >> which orchestras were these?
12:35 am
>> for the youth assessment we were out in all neighborhoods i can show you is a breakdown of who helped. i think in our breakdown i will publicly have to come back to you. we partnered with organizations to help us frame the conversation so we can reach families who are normally don't come to government meetings >> okay. so the decisions you made in district 5 don't necessarily reflect that. so i'm concerned about that. i know we'll have more delayed discussions as this hearing goes on. >> that concludes my presentation.
12:36 am
>> we're done here? i have a few questions. thanks for your presentation. i know that over the years it's been a challenge to come here as the director to hold folks accountable. i have a certain about working with the kids in the community the frustrations of many organizations that don't work with the folk but receive money to work with the organizations. the orchestras that have the capacity to do a lot of oversight and accounting they have a infrastructure and i'll use this as an example. this has nothing to do with the efficiency of the department. young folks are is a
12:37 am
infrastructure in place that makes it easier for them to have a team in place and actually provides the services necessary to make sure their managing the programs well. as a program like the herein community center is spending every dollar on the kids their serving. i baffles me that the program it that impacts the most challenging part of our community i can go on and on. i'm looking forward this is a budget as a whole. we're looking at approving next
12:38 am
year's budget at the same time, you allocated for a 3 year budget grant program with those kinds of changes how significant their it's going to be a tough challenge to figure out how we deal with this in the coming months. i know the city is going to have some tough challenges people think that because theirs additional money coming theirs more to allocate. i wouldn't mind the cuts so much but clearly from the in addition information i have this clearly is not the case so i think that i guess part of my certain about the coming year and your budget
12:39 am
how it significantly impacts my exact date. i understand that my dissects has had a doctor in the violence and birthrates. i'm triangle i trying to grapple with the fact that many of those programs that are extremely active in dealing with the most vulnerable population are now being forced to try and change how they do business. at the same time i'm seeing poeshgsz i know with not effective do not serve this population that i know i've have person challenges with and i look at their grant numbers. i'm blown away by the decision that have been made and i'm
12:40 am
hoping when we move forward we can figure out the budget and resolve those issues. again, i understand this is a hearing and i said that a lot of the management and oversight is based on the children allocations services and all those technical terms that are confusing even to might have and i think that i appreciate the technical assistance the regular program, the regular kinds of things that the organizations have done. by clearly we're working with organizations that don't have the money to get better. and that's where the changes are that were what can we do is a city to make sure we're working smarter in helping those
12:41 am
organizations. when we have a homicide or we have an issue or we have a issue that the police can't deal with the c r n is right at the stop sign, you know, dealing with people who have maybe incriminated the crime that were i want to say that hopefully, we, figure out a way to deal with this before it comes down before us to approve the budget for d y f >> i agree with you. we need to have high quality programs that help children reach their goals. i feel strongly that did
12:42 am
portfolio we have now will help us to get to that outcome. and i am more than happy to sit down and work with you to try to figure out that balance. but at the same time, we want to make sure those programs are meeting the need of our community. our children can't wait any longer inform the capacity for those fields to increase so i want to work with you. but at the same time, i feel that we need to insure h that all programs that d c y f are funding are of highest quality >> thank you, thank you furious
12:43 am
presentation. couple of of questions you went thereto process of after school hours and in the past week we've seen the relative and you know of a pleas also hearing from people who haven't gotten funding we'll hear a lot of from them over the coming weeks. i want to figure out where there are gaps in services where we'll be able to fill in the next most with our decisions. i want to figure out what the process is that's best to work to identify gaps and to figure out how we can precede if their be able to move money around to that fill the gaps in our
12:44 am
neighborhoods >> i'll be happy to work with you. >> we'll hear from our department about the decisions you've made and we'll look at the decisions and compare in the community. i think we want to be responsive in the community i want to make sure how to best collaborate that. i do have concerns about the cuts in the district. i want to know how to move forward and your department will be structural. right now on our website we have a list of the programs that are funded but not the funding amounts. we will have funding amounts for
12:45 am
current year and we'll try to foulth a way to make it affordable. i know that one of the supervisors has asked me important the breakdown. so you'll see the intention that went into the process - >> and i appreciate that the experience we've had in the past are the - we worked together in 2008 and 2009 i think that 2009 was the last grant cycle and i want to make sure we have that collaborative effort. i know we can't move money from a particular organizations but i
12:46 am
know that our department will help us to look at the neighbors we serve and the ethnic communities we serve. the second question is last year, we went through a process and the human service agency to develop the earlier recall child investment process. >> i definitely feel that the development of the office of car care and education is moving forward. we are in the process of selecting a department head we've done a couple of interviews already. so we're really excited i think that the 3 departments are coming together. and we're seeing for come
12:47 am
nationals than not. we're seeing a system from birth to kindergarten and we're seeing the improvements. >> when do the decisions time to be made on the new director? >> i think we're aiming for sometime in may. >> i want to thank you for your flexibility in doing that. i thank you for your leadership and making sure the communications happened. >> i'm appreciative of the
12:48 am
efforts and thank you for your leadership on that. i also want to say that the child allocation funding it your focused on objections and the evaluation process and it seems very good but i'd like to see the data especially on the number of programs that were defund through the process and what it's southeast asian youth or african-americans. i want to know what new programs were funded through the process. i know we have to look at it throughout the city and i have a worry when the district center or the beacon center maybe hit with reductions.
12:49 am
i know there are tremendous amounts and need and he tremendous needs within the richest monday and some baseline through the district. i wanted to is that for lgb t use i know that some people will say that some agencies maybe the only ones that are serving a certain population. but for critical needs of vulnerable populations. the last thing is for agencies that stretch across many neighborhoods we're not just seeing them as one district or one ethic group that their
12:50 am
serving a multiple ethics. i know that you have the ability to assess those information >> i want the zip code and age groups kind of broken down. i'm asking this for the entire district 5 if at all possible. >> the zip code for the students or the cb o? the students? >> and the age of the students. so i know you can easily print that statistical data out if you want to add like school and all of that stuff that's in the
12:51 am
reporting system. i forgot what it's called. >> yeah. for the current grantees and i'd like the numbers for the estimated youth for the applications submitted by organizations like what were the estimates in terms of numbers. >> projections? >> i think you can have actuals. >> you mean for the ones we're funding? >> yes and a colleagues any other questions at this point? all right. thank you. at this point we'll open up to
