youth and programs when your crossing our budgets for the next fiscal years and continue on into the future >> thank you very much. >> i want to thank conspires perry can he for the context issues and tremendous work though you live on the borrowed of the district i view you as the person over in district 1. >> hello, i'm christen i'll be presenting our item 11 to support the city college of san francisco. it's one of the largest colleges in the country. and many of our commissioners

are currently talking about the excellently. we're in support of a stable city excellently. we passed a resolution supporting the excellently and we're thankfully for the board of supervisors for passing this resolution in april as well which called upon the administration to support us. now i want to introduce any colleague ray which he will would will be closings obvious our presentations >> thank you for your time and i want to acknowledge the people who are here (calling names)

these commission has achieved quite

>> have you ever discussed or have you ever discussed how to actually i guess serve residents of public housing children that live in public housing in san francisco and how these opportunities would be more connected to them? >> hi thank you supervisor that's a great question. i'm chair the lgb committee. we have several commissioners who have lived or lived in public housing. we're looking to create evaluation tools they mentioned for k housing. so i think we basic want to see

the condition of living overall of units provided by the city and government would be under that >> thank you. i wanted to ask since the gentleman is here from juvenile hall. one the items mentioned what the recreation of the inmates that they were necessarily getting their mandate hour of recreation time at juvenile hall facility in san francisco. can you respond to that? >> thank you for the opportunity to speak. we're very, very dmoilt make sure that young people receive their large muscle activity.

and including use of the courtyard facilities that's connected to each the individual housing units as well as the gymnasium facility and inclusive of the two outdoors yards that the gentleman referenced that are full court basketball facilities that allow folks to go out in the fresh air and sunlight. we continue to do the retrofitting to address some of the safety concerns we have thought space that's inclusive of the soccer field. but in terms of our responsibility to make sure that we're in compliance with title

15 that is absolutely the case as reaffirmed by the department of the corrections that re - >> so the capacity of recreational space neatest e meets the needs of inmate that you have housed there? >> that's correct. >> so do you have any i guess are there any concerns about one of the listed requirements from the youth commission regarding that particular issue? >> we would certainly love to expand the utilization of the outside raleigh area to be inclusive of the that is a we have some specific concerns about the safety of young people in that space.

the geographic of what the facility is at the bottom of a hill where - autopsy i know exactly where your

of the law cabin ranch. >> i don't have it but i can certainly share that with you it's been included many our commission. there are well over several you million dollars of capital need terms of our capital needs for our department but in addition to that specifically our log cabin facility that requires complete overhaul, it requires spitting investment in the storage tanks that need to be

repaired as well the physical plant that treats of water. so we're going apparently in the process of making our building compliant and that is at least $3 million project it is needed now so that victims and witnesses and offenders and their parents have the ability to assess that facility freely without unnecessary burdened. we believe in the terms of expanding utilization would be the right thing to do but we have other priority needs. so i thank you. i appreciate your comments. i know that when we met and talked about juvenile hall and

some of the things happening there i was actually pleased what is happening there. especially i worked with young people. i didn't want them to the in juvenile hall but being able to go to school and get their g e d and i thought that that was really neat. so kids are taking full vanilla. i want to make is clear from my prospective dead on arrival i don't want juvenile hall to be anything other than what it is in terms of a juvenile facility but the fact we have a captive audience i i want to be sure

we're following the law and taking advantage of them there and i know that the boy's club is for changing live. i want to make sure we're changing lives and we're headed in the right direction. in terms of recreational facilities it's important that the capacity needs are met and i'm very comfortable with m that so i would be interested in seeing a full report. i don't think that everything what in the capita plan including log cabin ranch and some of the facilities i'd like to see the information to have a clear understanding and a understanding of the capacity >> i will certainly make sure you and your staff receive that document. >> thank you. i'll you wrap up

by saying again what i'd like to see just in general as we move forward i mean again, i'm in awe that you are able to put together such a comprehensive report about details that are important not only to young people back up to a city as a whole. we need a voice from young folks not too a long time i was wondering who was speaking for me and i felt disconnected from the opportunities and had it not been for the mayors training that was my first job and i was exposed to adults who really

supported me. in order to get money i was one of those kids that sneaked into a bus. i couldn't afford a $5 muni pass. it was really a challenging time back then we have to set boundary and competitions and law and order but at the same time, we can't assume that every child has parents or is learn what is right tling thing to do so. we can't assume that everyone should know better. and part of the job opportunities and looking after our young people is making sure we're allocating the appropriate

resources. and now it's the trend to talk about hey transitional youth this is a population we've lost significant numbers through the 18 to 24 years old but mostly african-american boys. when boys were 18 technically they were homeless and weren't sure what to do. and oftentimes that leads too active to prison and other things that are destructive. so i think when he look at how we side things no san francisco we need to make sure we're paying attention to those programs that mostly impact our young people and how we get them

to the next level is important it took a lot of adults to get me to the point where now i'm a responsible adult. i'm fully supportive of young people. i want to thank you all for your development in this and looking forward to during budget seeing none, season so see how we're allocating the appropriate i level of fund. especially, especially to my priority of jobs for young people because their certainty young people who need money year round and it's the difference of doing something right and wrong. our african-american committee paid is that your understanding

to the program because we wanted to get them to take care of themselves. so i want to make sure they're continuing opportunity. the second thing i want to make a priority of mine is the housing for transitional youth is to have a comfortable place to live in f that environment. i want to moor we're looking at the this population and we're building and providing housing opportunities we're priority ing and, of course, all the other things are important to me. i hope we can really make some

changes specifically the booker t washington institution. if we could help you know that bev has been working to find locations to do this transitional housing as well. i want to focus on making sure wore putting the right dollars with the right projects and making - not just talking about those things but is making those things a reality through funding. so again thank you very much >> i was just going to comment not only the commissioners but the staff. it's great to see the fleet staffed program. and the commissioner worked on

the transitional housing and it's important that the city needs to build more housing and the discretion that's out there and we need to track more data. and the chambers that the commissioner brought with the youth jobs and making sure that our city is doing much more than other urban centers. awe and commissioner i've seen his encourage in front of the the other committees and i'm happy that the lieutenant and others are here but i appreciate you stand up to the probation officers. i have great respect for that.

but the whole youth commission i'm pleased with our leadership. thank you very much for the great presentation >> okay colleagues any other comments at this time? that you did you have any further comments. >> thank you. again for you're letting me be here today. >> we'll open this up for public comment. anyone? >> seeing none, public comment it closed. >> what's that? >> if you want to come back up. >> let's talk about a little bit about the yard issue i was in 2 years n security. however, those yards are only

about 2 to 3 detainees in this yard. you would see how insignificant those yards are. also the gymnasium that's in there as well yes, sir. it's nice but it's only got a basketball court but some people like to play good job ball. keep in mind this this yard can allow for one hour of large activity yeah, the basketball courts are nice you got some individuals that point to play kick ball arresting and other sports. thank you guys for your time

>> thank you very much. and thank you to all the city staff and the captain for being here. colleagues what can we take a motion to table this thing? >> do we have any other items. >> that concludes the jound. >> okay. we're

very complicated question and answers. different stake holders that represented a slice of the community of san francisco. we were all talking about different groups and came up with a set of recommendations. those recommendations were taken and put into a 30 year work plan which is what you have in front of you now. that outlines the next slate of task for the next 30 years. the first one is the mandatory soft story ordinance. it affects buildings that were built before 1978, wood frame construction, has five or more residential units and two or more stories in height over a soft story condition. so over an above basement building. in

mid-september this year the department will send out notices to property owningers. owners. what we had to do is create a data base based on several different data sets. one being the assess ors information to establish date and the housing inspection records and the permanent tracking records to establish construction types and number of stories and units. that's been highly refined with the team and they have been helpful during this process and they are going to carry us forward and get us ready for september mailing. this becomes operate iv on june 15. we expect mid-september for these noticed to go
