heard about the 72 unit that are section 8 but the other unit weren't mentioned. okay. we were told at the community meeting that the rent would be maintained on those 50 units for 55 years at the low income rate. i've heard no comment on that i want to reserve discussion for that on a later date. first of all, the incentive villa >> you still have thirty seconds please continue. >> a building that's been extremely well maintained and the proposals to make

improvements include expenditures that don't make sense to us at that particular time. the most egregious is the repaving >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> much appreciated. >> next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors my name is a allen shipley i'm a long time residents of the vital la i've been there since the morning of 1989 earthquake day. okay. you know, i was on the roof at the time. of the earthquake okay. which was scarey but we've never received any notification by the

management or the owners. you know, if the owner was completing completely - or if there was any damage. ever since then okay. also we are also concerned about some of the expenditures for the retrofits okay. our internal security tower okay. is extremely app actuated and that's he had needing to be replaced. and it breaks down every once in a while. we have one passenger elevator and another one. the passenger elevator is old

they keep oncoming and replacing parts. the freight elevator is of no use. and so it needs to think removed and another passenger elevator put in. we're really concerned about what the money and the bonds for the rehabilitation is going to be funding. so we need to have an independent person come in, you know, and advocate between, you know, all parties on you know the bonds. okay. thank you very much >> thank you. are there any other members of the public who with wish to comment on the items. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, any questions or comments. do we have a motion i think to some of the speakers i think

some of the questions should be directed at staff and perhaps having the mayor's office take care of that and have is a dialog off-line. colleagues do we have a motion. so moved. the cities of oakland and san jose and the county of alameda and connecticut cost and san mere that provide governing structure and for circulations for re direct examination and grant funds to the bay area as well as for the upper areas as permitted in san francisco as the preliminary grantee to the bay

area upper areas as well as the other grants fund to the bay areas as permitted under the m l u >> thanks we have ms. alden. >> thank you ms. alden the item before us is the resolution that approves a new initiative. you know that this is a recreational grant organization that grants funds around the bay hear e area. it's not a j pa it exists by the memory between oakland and san jose and the surrounding counties. it's been in existence and it's charred by my depended head and deputy from the san francisco fire department is the other member. we have this he organization

that is why this item is here today. the board of supervisors recently approved the m l u and that expires on december 1st. it has no substance changes it only expends the date and it was approved. all the member jurisdictions need to pass it through their board of supervisors are city council's. there's no fiscal impact of the m l u but because san francisco is the agency we want the budget committee to review it. i'm not aware there's a budget report and i'm happy to answer any questions >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you for your presentation. i have a few questions to understand how the program

works. i notice that grant amounts from 2000 through fiscal year 2012 have increased to 25.5 million and in the fiscal year 2013 went down about $13 million what is that about >> i'm glad you asked about that. we've taken that to for me in washington, d.c. and to our congressional delegation because we're not happy about that. fema allocates their awards based on a couple of things number one is risk and the department of that homeland absurdity security makes their own analysis about the risks. washington, d.c. and new york are also going to be on the top of the list and between la and

san francisco and other areas but san francisco is a high-risk but fema makes that determination. another reason behind it it simply cuts through fell programs given the other fell budget and the amount even if overall money and the size of the pie has grown smaller and congress has appropriated less money. we're pro-active asking mayor lee to contribute his advocacy to maximize misses the funding >> how are we changing direction for the regional due to lessee money? >> so how do that impact us and our priorities. honestly it means less money available for things we would

like to buy for example, in san francisco we had a list of priorities of things we want to fund can't get to all of them. so some of the things was shelter training for red cross and shelter workers on how they would set up a mass care shelter in case of an earthquake. so it means less money available to purchase upgraded radios for first responders throughout the san francisco area. and police officers can talk to police officers. we need to upgrade the push talk radios to give them that capacity. we can only buy less radios. >> so the questions i have is about yeah, the different parts

of the region i know some might have a greater threat or less terror attack but probably it so how it distribution of funds awarded. >> the grants are awarded to the regime but very clearly the most risk in city and county of san francisco given not only our population but the assets that are here we're the financial center of the west coast. when it comes to how the money is allocate san francisco gets the largest share of the money and the money to rural counties

is smaller because there was less threat in the rural areas. we only a they're the benefit to each region by to the stent we can get the radios to first responder we can better provide communication to all areas. a significant amount of money is for training that benefits all first responders but when it comes to the dollar amounts that comes down to the jurisdiction san francisco gets the largest fraction of that >> when parts the region how does each part get to determine what funds are spent on and what tools are used in their area? >> sure for here in san francisco frshlgs we had a collaborative process that is

oerlgd by the department of emergency management our department but we engage stakeholder from a wide variety of departments fire department, police department, building spickets and mayor's office and ed. we engageeveral times a year for project proposals for their departments want to see equipment or training for their staff members. those proposals are valeted for the funds. we make sure that it meets the grant guidelines and we ask that peer group of folks from the first responders department to rank them and the top ones get fema support and the ones that don't rise to the top my get

funded next year before sometimes you need multiple years to get projects funded. so if things are half done we're going to fund those before starting something new. the ultimate allocation is approved by the homeland security and it's made up of our department and the police department and the head of the d hr and other heads of department. some occur in other jurisdictions and we get our region allocation we spend it widely and heavily - it is certainly not a couple of department heads sitting in a

room we don't a wide range of decision making. >> do the department heads have the same eligible fund they can fund with the fund but do you see a real difference in terms of what gets funded in other places compared to san francisco in terms of training being done or what kind of work is being done to engage more residents. is there a program like that. >> when it comes to engaging residents one of the things that san francisco is on the cutting-edge of is using the funding to improve our region and we had a meeting we're going a web based program for folks which are safe i didn't on the

internet. we'll allow this community outreach to be improved and the funds fund the program in san francisco and fund similar thirjz things in other community. not everybody wants or needs the same thing some spend more on equipment and some on training. i'll also is a some communities don't have the robust funds we're pretty good at it we know how to spend the money and not give it back. and other jurisdictions have had to return a portion of their grant funding. >> could you actually send me to my office what the eligible uses of fund would be it would be

great to see. >> i'd be happy to do that i'll kick with the staff to do that. >> colleagues any further questions? okay. thank you very much we'll open it up for public comment. since there's no one in the public to comment public comment is closed. mr. clerk do we have any other business in front of us >> it completes the business for today. >> thank you everyone the meeting is ñçççç

>> the public wants to access particular information about your house or neighborhood we point them to gis. gis is a combination of maps and data. not a graphic you see on a

screen. you get the traffic for the streets the number of crimes for a police district in a period of time. if the idea of combining the different layerce of information and stacking them on top of each other to present to the public. >> other types of gis are web based mapping systems. like google earth, yahoo maps. microsoft. those are examples of on line mapping systems that can be used to find businesses or get driving directions or check on traffic conditions. all digital maps. >> gis is used in the city of san francisco to better support what departments do. >> you imagine all the various elements of a city including parcels and the critical

infrastructure where the storm drains are. the city access like the traffic lights and fire hydrants. anything you is represent in a geo graphic space with be stored for retrieval and analysis. >> the department of public works they maintain what goes on in the right-of-way, looking to dig up the streets to put in a pipe. with the permit. with mapping you click on the map, click on the street and up will come up the nchgz that will help them make a decision. currently available is sf parcel the assessor's application. you can go to the assessor's website and bring up a map of

san francisco you can search by address and get information about any place in san francisco. you can search by address and find incidents of crime in san francisco in the last 90 days. we have [inaudible] which allows you to click on a map and get nchldz like your supervisor or who your supervisor is. the nearest public facility. and through the sf applications we support from the mayor's office of neighborhood services. you can drill down in the neighborhood and get where the newest hospital or police or fire station. >> we are positive about gis not only people access it in the office but from home because we use the internet. what we used to do was carry the

large maps and it took a long time to find the information. >> it saves the city time and money. you are not taking up the time of a particular employee at the assessor's office. you might be doing things more efficient. >> they have it ready to go and say, this is what i want. >> they are finding the same things happening on the phone where people call in and ask, how do i find this information? we say, go to this website and they go and get the information easily. >> a picture tells a thousand stories. some say a map role at this time. commissioners first on your ap
