outreach workers are a critical part of that structure. we know it works and i think we should move forward to get this function not really fully staffed because it would take more than this but better staff today and we should of course keep working on these issues as well. >> supervisor breed? >>supervisor london breed: thank you. i'm fine with moving this forward especially if it's placed on budget reserve and will provide and opportunity for the department of public health and the homeless outreach or homeless advocates to maybe work on proposed if they have any changes because we don't expect to receive that information until i guess within the next 2-3 weeks, supervisor farrell. so i'm

okay with that. but i also think it is important that we look at our existing stock, housing authorities is not necessarily directly run by the city, but there are a huge number of vacant units and the fact that we now have a number potentially to rehabilitate those units and make homeless individuals a priority there, especially homeless families which there is a shelter in my district and these with no shower, with no ability for these families to get prepared for school or work or anything else. so i just think it's insane that we are looking at entities with hotels that have an stock that we can invest money in where we have those properties available and give individuals those priorities with properties. this is the first step in that direction

but the next supplemental which i'm hoping to get support for is a supplemental to rehabilitate the vacant public housing development all over our city and allow homeless individuals receive priority and access into those development. i'm ready to move forward with this. >> thank you for your comments and it's something that people are discussing without a doubt. i think you are being an advocate and i don't know that there is no one that would approve this. supervisor avalos? >>supervisor john avalos: i would like to make an a couple motions. to cut this in half. to keep the $1387500 but the

600,000 that would be homeless services, and we can get a report back from the department of public health about how we can spend those funds. i think permanent housing would be a great thing to cover with those funds, but that's my first motion. so keep the current supplemental as is and the other half would be generalized for services and hot team services and that will be later determined by the department of public health and working with community groups and our offices. that's my motion. farrell

>>supervisor mark farrell: thank you supervisor avalos. i'm not going to consider that motion. dividing the number of services to me if the critique is there has not been that much process which there has and to cut in half to allocate to unspecified other services to me makes it even worse. for me, if there is another additional supplemental or appropriation that you would like to see implemented, i think it's very worthy and we will take that in due course. but this is a specific program policy worked on with the department of public health in great detail. >>supervisor john avalos: if i may respond. that has been reported to me what's happened and there is a consensus around this supplemental appropriatation and it has

not. my the recommendation by the budget recommendation analyst that these funds go on budget committee reserve, i'm totally fine with that it goes to a pending plan and for the general hot team services and i would like there to be a plan. i believe what you brought forward in terms of how to city needs to respond to our homeless crisis is the right thing to do and i appreciate your efforts, but i don't think we've gotten the approach that will have full support of the board. if you don't want full support of the board, that's fine. i accept that. >> i appreciate that and the board can respond to that. this is a policy calling whether we should expand our outreach today. if there is not support for that, then there is not support for that. >> i don't want the board of supervisors to dictate what the homeless services should

be. >> i take my position as city government very seriously and we are the body that take from individuals and departments to make that happen. so with that, madam clerk can we do a roll call vote on the motion. >> mr. chairman, do we have a second on supervisor avalos? >> i will second it. mr. chairman i want to add that i'm supportive of your efforts to move forward on a new tenured plan on addressing the homeless crisis in our city. i feel like the stakeholder community based organization have to be working with all of us to do that and i appreciate the department of public health of expertise, but i feel that community based organizations have to be at the table and i'm not sure after listening to the discussion that there is consensus. i will respectfully disagree with you on how to move this forward and but say that i really appreciate your efforts. i did want to add

that the budget and legislative analyst keeps reminding us how this general fund is dwindling as we move towards these supplementals. i never want to pit vulnerable populations at one another but there is a children's fund and they have polling to show how strong the community support is. not only are we looking at $1.4 million but tripling of that and another impact on the general impact budget is making me understand how many groups are advocating. i know we have to focus on strategically addressing the homeless crisis. but i'm going to be supporting supervisor avalos' motion. >> i appreciate that. i have no intention there was going to be 100 percent agreement

on anything. dialogue is dialogue and i think as legislators we put forward what we think is best to put people. i think it would be worst if we are not talking to people advocating on this issue. i take that very seriously and we'll continue to prior ties that and as we are getting more people outreach today and getting people off the streets today should be a priority. supervisor wiener? i will not be supporting the motion and i want to talk about engaging stakeholders. of course we should be engaging stakeholders. the stakeholders here are not just organizations that are doing work around homelessness. the stakeholders are the 830,000 residents in san francisco and we have a responsibility to represent those stakeholders who are not down at city hall all the time and the people who see this on the street erd

-- everyday and impacts them everyday and want these people off the streets and to get services. i think it's completely appropriate for us as policy makers to make that determination on behalf of the city and we know there is not enough homeless outreach going on. we desperately need more. >> supervisor avalos? >> i will let mr. wiener have the last word and let have a vote. city clerk: on the motion supervisor mar, aye, avalos aye, supervisor breed? no, wiener no, farrell no. 2 aye's 3 no. >> okay if there is another motion or a motion to set this aside to another board. >>supervisor john avalos: i would like to make a motion to continue this item for two

weeks2 weeks what is the next budget committee in 2 weeks? >> i will second that. >> i appreciate the comments, i also will not be supporting this motion. this has been in a month 1/2 now where we have worked with stakeholders on this issue and it's ready to go. i'm convinced and while i appreciate everyone's opinion another week is not going to buy consensus if you will. this is something to me i think should be a priority of ours as a city. as mr. wiener mentioned the city and residents in our neighborhoods to do all we can as soon as we can to get people off the street. i won't be supporting this motion. madam clerk can we do a roll call? >>supervisor john avalos: can i respond to that. it's not

about a motion about getting people off the streets. i would like a plan that is more baked. i don't hear that. i have asked for that, i haven't heard that. so let's have a vote. city clerk: on the motion to continue the item for 2 weeks, supervisor mar, aye, avalos aye, breed, no, wiener, no, farrell, no. the motion fails. >> supervisor wiener? >> i would like to make a motion to send this item to the board with full recommendation. city clerk: would you like to adopt? >> first can we have a motion to accept the budget analyst recommendation. >> move to accept. >> can we accept those without objection. >>supervisor john avalos: my

comment on my no vote, i'm all for funding services. i just think we need a better process for that. >> this is a motion to accept the budget analyst recommendation, can we take that without objection. >> sure. we can take that without objection. before making this roll call i appreciate the comments. we did approve this this past week was a budget supplemental at the committee regarding the program. there was zero process around that and we've had a detailed process around it to stakeholders and xartively -- comparatively. and to say there hasn't been a process is very disconcerting to me. with that madam clerk.

can we have a roll call vote. >>supervisor john avalos: let me say that i have been told there has been a process and it has been said and the process hasn't been revealed to me. >> let's have a vote. >> [roll call vote taken] the motion passes. >> okay, the motions passes. thank you madam clerk. city clerk: i would like to motion be sent to us by tomorrow 9:00 a.m.. >> madam clerk go to item 2. city clerk: item 2: 140190: [appropriation - library preservation fund - public library teen center project - $3,243,752 - fy2013-2014]1401902.sponsors: chiu; kimordinance appropriating $3,243,752 of library preservation fund balance to the public library for the teen center city clerk: sf 21234

>> thank you. i appreciate you very much for being here. >> thank you very much. city librarian. we are going to provide background on issues requesting today on making the teen center on the lab. we have a powerpoint presentation we are going to walk through. we have new skills that is going to involve new media. one of the reasons we have received the award is the department of california science, the bay area video

coalition to in fact create this planning process that truly engages our young people. i will provide more details on that. it's also linked to other improvements to the entire process continued today but the focus is carving out the plan. in terms of the design process we engaged 19 youngster, teen advisory board members if you will from across the city involved in working side by side for a space they envisioned in the center. it's part of the learning skills and certainly about connected

learning. it's a strong relationship in collaboration between the library and the department of public works. the focus to have here are some that involve they took the best for the designs and create a new concept for the center. the obvious question is where will this teen center be held and constructed. if you envision the west side entrance on larken as you enter to your right is some space there to the actual human resources department and the adult literacy program and those will be located in the two spaces of the main library. if we board this about 5,000 square feet.

this is looking to begin in the summer of next year. here you see the entrance off that bridge leading into atrium of the main library and we have a 3d perspective that gives you a different spaces designed for the teen center. you have everything from a video studio to audio studio that allows youngster to get a hands-on experience in not only recording but editing and maker space for 3 b and fabricating and access to books and computer technology and what we have what we call a carpet garden that will allow for reading, performances and class visits.. we want to emphasize that we are partnering with school districts in the immediate city that this center will serve. so it

actually does involve young people from our neighborhoods as well. in an effort to create this space, it will involve some function. the hr department will go to the 4th floor and it staff moving to the fourth floor and moving the chief of main and chief of community programs and partnerships to the area adjacent to the city librarian area. the project completion is summer of 2014 before we embark in building the teen center. one of the other wonderful by-products of this office is we've had the opportunity to envision how we provided literacy and learning. we have mentioned moving the

combined program. we are going to move it to the 5th floor. that will provide for family literacy, it will create a public instruction for the entire community of san francisco and this space is located on the 5th floor. here you have the sort of overview, the schematic design of what that 5th floor space will look like. that is a literacy and learning center and differentiated from our teen center. i'm geography -- going to now ask or chief financial officer to go over the budget details. >> thank you louis, good afternoon supervisors. as louis mentioned this is done in phases because the media lab is currently occupied by the library, human resources office as well as the

program. phase one is the tenant improvement to move hr to the sixth floor and it to different space on the fourth floor while relocating the chief of main and programs and partnerships. the overall budget for the phase one is estimated 1 $1 million such as construction, furniture fixtures and equipment and permits contingency and management. phase two is consolidating all of our literacy services that are currently provided throughout the main library to one center and that includes the project read center that would be moving from the second floor

up to the 5th floor. the current estimated total cost for that phase is $1155, 000. the rest for that is $3 million. the reserve of $250,000 setting the program budget for this capital project at $5.5 million. current available funding for this project is $6 million monies appropriated in 2014 and $150,000 for the project. this leaves us with a gap of $3.24 million appropriating money from the balance to

cover this gap. right now, the lpf fund balance sits at 6.8 million and leaves us a balance of 3.3. this was approved on march 13th. and we are asking the board of supervisors to approve the supplemental appropriation from the lpf fund balance to fully fund this teen digital media lab. we are available for questions. thanks for your support. >> thanks. supervisor mar. i want to say i love this. my teen and i have been in the main library and what i feel right now is an inadequate teen area. i think this will be wonderful for many of our

young people. a place to go that's their own. i have been to the branch library teen center as well which are really great almost an autonomous space for them. i have to keep myself outed of it because i want to go in there. i like how it's a space for them and that's the 19 teen team that you had help develop it, it really seems like it's developed out of a lot of their thinking. i'm very supportive and i really thank you for this. >> colleagues, any other comments? okay. this you very much for your presentation. mr. rhodes can we go to your report. >> yes, members of the committee, the revised budget of $5.5 million is an increase from $1 million for the teen digital media lab and the renovations and this is shown

on table one on page 12 of our report. on page 13 that the budget increase results in disability acts requirements and project scope and that is shown on page 13 of our report. we recommend that you do approve this ordinance and consistent with board policy. >> thank you. colleagues, any questions for our budget analyst. okay. we'll open up to public comment. any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> we can take that without objection.

>> what item are you speaking on? >> item 2. >> my name is cat a >> excuse me supervisor. can we open to public comment. >> we took that without objection. >> my name is cat a vasoskoe and i work for the education non-profit located in san francisco. i'm here to speak in support of the libraries to build out the center in the digital media learning lab. the teen center is one of the teen partners for the last 18 years. my primary function is to create spaces for young people to explore and share their personal narratives. in

our expanded teen centers for the library is used every year for the plans. the plans for the new teen center creates more opportunities for us to bring more programming for the library and bringing more constituents into the library. the teen there provide more valuable resources in the greater bay area. on behalf of myself and a san francisco resident i'm in full support of the teen center media lab. this you so much. >> thank you. >> hi, my name is leo, i'm a high school senior at the san francisco school of the arts. i have been on the teen planning board for the last two 1/2 years. i'm really excited about the project because i feel like san

francisco, obviously it's a center and we want to give everyone in the city whether they live in soma access to the opportunities so they can develop interested to get them the job that san francisco is offering now to good well paying jobs and for them that want to learn more about that. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> is there any other members of the public wishing to comment on this item please lineup on the wall. >> good afternoon, i'm a proud resident of district 11 and a long time supporter of the library and a volunteer. i also am on the national board of library supporters and currently president of the california library association. this is a remarkable project. president barack obama has been doing

things to provide inclusive programs and this project is incredibly rare. san francisco, i don't know, it's hard to know about your home team, but the san francisco public library is such a model throughout the country. i hope you know that. i will say that i have worked on behalf of the library for so long that i was on the original team for the library preservation program act and also the renovation and we just wanted to pass that so the library can have books and materials money. my colleagues long ago would be so delighted that we were spending this money on such a remarkable and world changing program. >> thank you very much. next speaker please. >> hi, my name is sophie. i was one of the originals in during my senior year. in

fact i'm from college and go to meetings when i can. i think that what has been most important to me is seeing this project get off the ground moving from the conceptual and providing teens to have access to media that is so important in the 21st century workforce and i have seen this chicago lab and seeing that as a model is really inspirational and wonderful to see the process move on and i would like to say how important it is to have this place for teens to be enl -- empowered to have access to that they might not have in other areas of their life. >> thank you very much. anybody else wish to comment on item no. 2 is there any

additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervise avalos? >>supervisor john avalos: i'm happy to support the teen center at the library and having spent most of my teen years at this library and i can say how great it's going to be for the young people. i go to the library with my young kids and this is going to be a great access for the youth of san francisco. >> can i have a motion to send this item with full recommendation? we can take that without objection. madam clerk we are going to take one item out of order here. let's move straight to item no. 4. city clerk: item 4: [hearing - our children, our city collaborative] sponsors: avalos; yee and mar hearing on the final report, including the public engagement process, of the ou
