maximize the youth issues over the summer by leveraging the programs that the puc is having. and developing core elements across the internship programs and i'll close with the next steps that closing includes an item you'll be looking at in our business section. so for the current budget cycle the board of supervisors added back one-hundred $4 million to be used in the youth programs. this is consistent with the mayor's effort to really lift up and maximize opportunities over the summer. to his goal is to make sure that 6 thousand people are to be

employed. and the summer we have about seven hundred and 20 told us every year. and for this upcoming summer we're implementing budget deadline issues. we have a long track record of implementing youth programs so whether it's through the youth project or the summer programs we'll be using the ad funds. in addition we'll are piloting a process where we'll be engaging nonprofit as part of the strategy that will be tied to the f i p projects. we'll be trying to scale what

works. and the evaluation and monitoring will be done this summer. this slide shows a list of the programs that the f ic already supports. this is a partnership with the department of public works. there's the internship programs which is with the family department. there's the south east summer internship program that is in partnership with the a caldwell and then we'll be scaling up the

project that is partnership with the sheriff's department. and then lastly, the cabin summer program will be spearhead by one of our private sectors. expanding those is where the funds will go to. it allows us to leverage the variations programs. and in addition it let's us continue to partner with our private sector partners. the other component which we are really excited but has us expanding beyond the promises to partnership with the agency

throughout san francisco. where youths will be gaengd to go to all the activities. that ends up where the non profit community allows us to see have investments that are happening outs in the community. and it allows us to help the disadvantaged folks. logically to pilot this new exponent that will have us

developing around the pilots is we're asking you to give the general manage approval to solicit proposals that will be in june to budget local organizations with an average grant of around $10,000. and the projects would be completed around the end of the summer. we're working across the programs. those programs are happening you know the young people are based on what programs they'll be coming through. and we're developing the garden projects that they would have

common messages and material and have the same opportunities for employment. all of the young people will have the same opportunities to go on the sewer tours and we would create a process to track the young people over time so if a young person do they come back the way they came or go on for more tours. so seeing a benefit to the agency as we educate that next germane. and at the same time create this you diverse piping of folks who can help meet our employment needs. and the young people will know when you tap their learning

experience they'll have employment over the summer. i will cover item 11 to solicit the proposals and then at the end of the semiwe'll bring some young people to come in here and talk about to you >> thank you for a very ambitious program. >> any public comments? >> commissioners our mayor means when will when he wants to expose our youth during this summertime to save life that these yesterday we had 3 knuckleheads go into the mission

and shoot people and need to be caught apparently we have some very serious you problems in the southeast sector we deal with on a daily basis. and the mayor is aware of it. and so is chief gregory. and we do this in our own way. you've seen some of the young money amino come here before and they put their lives on the line. commissioners what really helps a human being is to get a career job like all of you have a career. so did i. always proud to do my job

putting in the extra hours and very proud that the six united states army gave me watch. and one when i used my logistics to help folks in the 1987 earthquake. we can start introducing our youth i don't like calling them kids our youth introduce them to contrary jobs. that's what we need. the mayor means well. 27 cranes in the ask a by the mayor needs to look at our infrastructure down below

skills. we do work close with other agrees and the gentleman talked about some of the cuts of some of our indigenous programs. so thank you very much. >> so which are the 4 or 5 companies that are providing our organization the financial support. >> we get you resources from the puc commission and my deputies can talk about more of the other opportunities that come up this year. >> sure have him come up. >> welcome. >> so i work with ms w.

digester project. it was commissioned in 1952. it handles 80 percent of the cities sewer system. it - the rfp set high standards. the team before you of consideration is made up of brown and calling we will and black and beach in the wastewater industry. we initialed this to code to what the staff has today. this exceeds the goal by more than 35 percent where we have negotiated scope and scheduling for technology selection and conceptual engineering. additionally the team will analysis the team built bid.

prior to interfinal design we will return to you what the sequa analysis and is delivery method. the brown and cal welling well team has met our scheduling requirement and they have made a commitment of $10 million over the life of the project. and the benefits program those are private sector resources dedicated to the local community at no expense to the taxpayers. the contact will be presented to the brvr for their consideration. from a schedule prospective it would be our goal a notice the brown and caldwell team this

july >> any questions? public comment? >> i'd like to bring to the attention to the commissioners one or two points. some 12 years ago the said company was chosen to start work. and then bankruptly the san francisco utilities commission put a stop to it. so i'm happy that the 3 primes are going to give us their best service. another point i want to make is when the task force was formed they worked hard to choose the best location. they were many locations prone

to flooding. they're looking at a location and hopefully another location where the present asphalt plant is so the best touching facilities when we're talking about digesters this is not a joke. this is something that requires a lot of expertise. so i'm happy and i want to say very publicly and i want to thank doctor jackson especially for promoting and sticking to her guns and allowing this project to start earlier than was planned. and i want to thank those commissioners who heard our plea for spept what the community had

to say. the stench we want it gone. gone, gone, gone away. the mosquitoes the contamination and the pollution. now i'm speaking as an economist we want it gone. i know this will come before the board of supervisors and their should be no problem for the board of supervisors okaying this project. just like we opened up building 505 that was a legacy when this digester comes on line a legacy for the whole nation. i'm going to watch this project

like a hawk. and i i want to thank you very much for supporting this community. thank you very much >> thank you. mr. smith >> thank you, commissioners. i'm shawn xhith e smith i'm with local 22. the commissioner said the time has come for this project to move forward. the carpenters have been wasting and the community. i had a lot to say in moving this forward but as the carpenter local 22 we want to encourage you to take this first step and move this project forward and make this a safe

community >> anyone else? >> i was looking at the community benefit that were and here i think it's one million dollars over a 10 year period. i don't think that's enough money for the community to be developed for a - where they're given a one million dollars over 10 year period for this facility. i think the community deserves to be represented a little bit better than that to show why to be involved. in they're not developed then the community will definitely be the big loser but i'd like to see the community where they can truly be compensated for being a

participant in the investment of the digesters >> i want to clarify that. so when we talk about community benefits and sometimes, people definition of community benefits is different than others. but we the consultant who will come on aboard to help us design what are they lifeguard to give to the community that we're trying to serve free of charge. so this is what they plan to give to the community free of how far. it's not what we're giving the puc or anything. that's something if we didn't have the community benefits we wouldn't have gotten this piece of money. so i want to point out this is part of the community policy

that we put in place and that's what the consultant is willing to give >> in addition to all the other benefits. >> there's going to be the actual puc sitting down with the community and one of the things we're not only doing it with this community but all contracts we ask the consultants what can you do to help serve the community. >> i want to follow up on that, too. and it took quite a bit of work. and it was really have you found as a landmark piece of policy from across the country looking at public utilities.

i think that money is generous. i would like to commend, you know, and now we have a department set up to implement that policy. we're doing all we can to make sure the community is benefiting from not only the private firms that are contracting with the puc and by the puc. i want to reiterate the importance of that and the commitment of this commission and the entire department >> if i can quickly add. the other thing that a partisans. we're asking everyone who participate what are you willing
