lead on this and for listening to all of our concerns from the school district and for bringing this forward today for discussion. thank you. >> thank you. okay. so just an update on where things are at in terms of the drafting of peef. it's drafted as an independent measure and it's ready for introduce and supervisor's yee office led the drafting for preschool for all or early childhood education for peef and we were drafting the 2004 ballot measure for the remaining 2/3. two changes that were put in to the draft that we have right now is that we have taken out some kind services. something that i think has been a source of

frustration for the city and for the school district. it hasn't fulfilled the objective of the initial legislation and we have taken out the trigger. we continue to have a discussion around the sunset date. there are roughly ten set aside, general funds set aside that the city has that we bare and we looked at the other set asides that we have. roughly half of them has sunset dates and half do not. the half that do, i believe three of them had a sunset day of 15 years and two had a sunset date of 30 years and peef had a sunset date of 10 years. there's a conversation of how many years is appropriate or is no date has been appropriate. i've heard of ideas like 18 or 21 years really kind of to

emphasize the life of a young person here in san francisco. and give voters an opportunity to assess whether these dollars have been well spent and well governed. we continue to have a discussion on the overall governance structure that supervisor yee's office is working on to make sure the dollars are working in alignment and there continues to be discussion on whether we'll have one or two ballot measures, but supervisor yee's office is working on that. that's an update on where things are currently in terms of the drafting process and if there are no further comments, i was going to open up to public comment. so at this time, we will open up for public comment if you'd like to speak on this

item, please step up. >> good afternoon, supervisors and commissioners. my name is emily. i work at performing arts work shop which is an non profit organization that serves 5,000 youth in san francisco every year. i'm here on behalf of the san francisco alliance education. we recommend the funding to move closer -- to insure educational program for those. so we support the agreement and we're happy to hear that that has been included in the draft legislation. in terms of the sunset, we recommend the elimination, currently peef is ten years but we recommend a process, we

believe that support for critical services for youth shouldn't have an expiration date. thank you very much. >> hi, i'm beverly, also from the performance arts. i want to say that peef created a baseline for sports, arts, music and universal pre-k but the measure has created instability. the visual and artwork shops have -- it was not intent so we urge you to not see peef as a program of art. the arts department is funded through peef which is making it difficult to provide quality instruction. the recommendations that my colleague has proposed will create an environment con due sifb to

thoughtful long term processes for city government. like someone said earlier, it will have access to these critical educational programs. thank you for your time. >> are there any other members of the public that would like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. i want to thank members of the public that came out today. i did have a question on the last comment that was made. i don't know if this would be directed to mr. lee about how peef is the sore funding of sfus. it's about my understanding that peef is the only funding for arts funding for sfusd. >> there's one set of resources

and that's for the elementary arts and music program and i believe together that represents about a million and a quarter of funding that still exist and to be fair, those resources are originated from the city as well from dcyf. they have not been diminished and they are still in place so i think that's definitely worth noting. as far as general funds support, general fund support has been minimal at least the time that i've been with the district and there was for a couple of years, there was a state categorical program that was specifically directed to arts and music that was, i think that was in place beginning in 2006 or 2007, around then, that was of course prior to the recession that took place and in that state

recession context, the state allowed districts to repurpose many, many category programs including that arts funding and as most districts did, we had to repurpose those funds in order to make our books balanced and avoid layoffs and everything else, so it is true that there were for a limited -- maybe two years there was some dedicated funding from the state that was provided and that is not available anymore, but the long history of general funds support has been very, very small and the dcyf for the elementary and music and arts program has not been diminished. >> supervisor yee. >> i think the language is not

applicable anymore. instead of saying we're going to allocate teachers to high schools instead, we have more control over how we spend it. we've done the same thing for our schools. so we put all of that money admittedly, cut and slashed in recent years but nobody want today do when the state was slashing our funding. all the money that used to be allocated for certain teachers has gone into student formula and the schools decide how they're going to spend that money, so that's the kind of tough part about local control, whether it's at the school or district. if you give power to people to spend the money the way that they think is best because they're closest to the program, then you have to support their decisions whether they're

the ones you may make or not. that's my answer to that. >> supervisor yee. >> yeah, it seems unfair to say that peef money is funding arts and so forth because we take on the regular -- the school board -- it's not funded by peef. i mean, all those teachers are funded by regular budget and i believe in some of the high schools, there's still existed art classes and maybe even music classes that was funded by education funds. we shouldn't go around saying that peef is

the only funding source for art when indeed a big part of the budget -- they support some of the teachers and so forth. >> thank you. okay. well, thank you for everyone for participating in this conversation. clearly there are more discussions than just here on this item and they'll be a continued discussion. there's many discussions on policies but we have come a long way and i want to recognize stakeholders that have been involved since the first part of peef in 2004 that have been working on this for over 12 years. i'm excited to bring this back to the voters in november and i like forward to its passage. are there any other

announcements madam clerk. >> on the items, do you want to file them away or bring them to the call of the chair. >> is there a motion on the table to continue to the call of the chair or a motion to file? >> motion to -- >> for item number two. >> so supervisor yee has made a motion to continue to the call of the chair on this item. we can do that without opposition. we didn't take a motion on item number one. can we take that motion now? >> yes. >> can we take a motion to file item number 1? we have a motion to file item number 1. we can do that without opposition. thank you, madam clerk, are there any announcements? >> no, there isn't. speaker: seeing none, this meeting is adjourned.

leaders. >> hi everyone i'm patrick the

director of earthquake safety forever for the stoifbl and we have the ryan white fair to teach people about the made sure soft story ordinance and connect them with the services they need you can save thousands of lives and if those buildings are rooiftd people will be allowed to sleep in their own beds while the city is recovering. >> we're here at the earthquake ryan white center for people to comply with the ryan white or do a ryan white on their property to connect with the resources

they need. i came here wondering what to do as a owner of an apartment building moderate to comply with the must rules that went into effect last year >> we don't want to go to 10 different events people said so we advise people of the event. so we try to be incentive not everyone is going to be able to come 0 so this fans the afternoon and the einstein >> i've decided to be here it's amazing to see all those people's here it's critical to be prepared and to recover from

disasters as finishing as possible. >> i've been to a lot of shows and this one was a trufk turnout a. >> since the structure the building represents the super structure the lower part of this particle on the buildings on the corner they shack quite a bit. >> so for the floors above as shaking that top floor is fog go-go have no more mass and we saw in 1984 more structure destruction where we're ryan white this by adding a steel frame typically you want to brass in both directions and see how strong the building is. >> we've adapted a thirty year

implementation program i worry about that was a retrofit requirement this is what we do to mitigate the shom and have's evacuation for the people and our partners. i had questions about what kind of professionals are involved in this i want to start to put together a team of people to help me get through this. i'm a structural engineer and i'm thrilled at the quality of the contractors and engineers >> we've taken one civic awesome and put all the vendors in one place. >> you have financing and engineers and contractor and they come here and every we're rebuilding are that the office

of the city of administer and the depth thought i environment and other partners. >> all those things one little piece of a resilient piece of - >> and i felt more positive about things i thought about how to pay for this. >> we didn't want to have one financing option it didn't work. >> we found information about financing they are different options for different types property owners. >> we've seen them offering financially and a pool of styles for a complicated way of saying they'll be able to pay back

their loans over the next two years. >> we have 3 options and secondly, to get a loan for the ryan white and the third becoming in the past program participants in that. it is encouraged along coastal easier where we have set time like sand and a high water table to a cause the sand to shake i'm going to get this visitation on the same bridge you'll see the water come to the surface this knocks the foundation over and pushes out the ruptured pipeline

>> it is intimidating i'm talking to people as a layman who needs help. >> this is a difficult process for people to navigate we're only focused on outreach so we've got the informational and we've spoken to many different owner groups and community groups all across the city. >> outreach is critical for the retrofitting program the city has to get out to the community and help people said what they have to do and do it and raise finances so this program is an advocate and resource for the community. >> so why not skip to the theme.

foremost and most to come we've been presenting community meetings and going face to face with community owners and helping people understand what to do >> you may be wanting to know about the sf green but this will allow you to have is a loan for the property so if you have the property the loan will be summoned by the new owner and this is pay back for your property taxes and the low rates this is a fantastic option. >> i'm in favor of the program obviously we're going to have a earthquake this is from an investment stewardship. >> after a few minutes with folks even if you don't agree you understand the concept.

>> we've talked about being able to do this now we're going to be forced to do this it's a good thing but to pay for it. >> it's not only protecting their property but every dollar is for mitigation it truly is protecting our investment overall the city. >> it's the right thing to do. you can look at the soft story building and theirs like the buildings that collapsed in the earthquake and your shufrtdz to see this >> people are getting caught to get this done and if people can find a place in our homes of shelter it will keep people in their homes.

>> together we'll work out of getting out of 0 disaster and making the community bringing back to what we love. >> as a level of folks we've talked about we make recommendations to make everyone mitigated their soft story problems no other jurisdiction has tried to tackle this ordinance and we're set to have our program complete by 20/20. >> the quality of the people are here because of the leadership. >> it's a great conversation statewide how to do this and i can only stress this enough if we didn't have the community of

the san franciscans that are concerned people, you know, talking about our financing is options and our engineering requirement if you altercated all our work it's consensus driven to provide options we don't have one path but one relative for people to get there. >> it's been an excellent consumption of the services i think i'm going to need if i go through this yeah, i'm very
