guidance document. >> another idea especially we'll see the minutes a month and a half after the meeting if you're able to copy and paste the link from sfgovtv so it's right there if someone wants to click on it because i believe our minutes are clickable so that, if i have the link you know video existing at whatever granting cuss.com slash the documents of the ero and someone can click. >> the link. >> oh, the link to the specific hearing ex-wife. >> the overall archive. >> i can even show you there's a pretty easy way to you pull the url website to copy it and

paste it somewhere i think it's initiative. >> if you go to page 10 on july it says an audio recording wwwdesigners.org and commission slash audit. >> yeah. i think what so he can look at having a generic one one specific for that date. >> with that said, being said i move to approve the condensed minutes. >> a second arrest from commissioner wald any further discussion before we go to. okay public comment on the minutes art seeing none, public comment is closed i looked

claude december and gave me a reminder to talk about a little bit slower thank you yourself doing such a good job all right. colleagues landlord/tenant all all in favor, say i. of approving the condensed minutes >> i. >> all right. i's have it all right. thank y all right. thank you commissioner gravanis has to leave us we still have quorum and deputy city attorney. >> i just want to say hi. >> monique next item. >> for the report for the office (inaudible). >> okay. so anyway that was a good meeting i am of want to

apologize to staff i was incredibly late i ran into traffic with that said, i want to thank them for their dedication it was a very good meeting we i wrote some notes can't read them planning we did the planning for this meeting it went well, we had a bunch of notes internal goals to hit in terms of grantees being here and other groups we collaborate with in the year we hit a lot of those goals person trying to do we had a staffing update a lot of staff transition and high priorities vacancies some permanent exempt civil

services clarifications that are being cleaned up now and so we reviewed a list even if open positions including deputy city attorney that our executive director is working to fill and there's some transitioning of staff from one position to another as those temp and permanent temp exempt classifications go out and one of our favorite items we talked about the bucket is unfund mandate it seems we've resolved a number of inresolved mandate we have a version problem we're not a city budget city oh, general fund department we're

not a general fund depended the majority of our funds come from grants we're finding a large challenge because so many of the grants only want to fund directly or direct program dollars not including the billable hours we need to do is as a city agency under the chapter including their benefits we're finding more and more grantee state and federal and on that are starting this practice so we suggested that round table with other requirement to have those challenges and start talking about the potential solutions as well even maybe raising a question with you to make sure we put out a letter to the city and other folks about

this descriptioncy we're not a fund agency our employees are city employees and entitled to all the things the city employees are and to that end maybe the city needs to look at that situation as a whole as it politics not only to us but all the departments that have the issue of becoming a larger issue is stitch in time saves 9 we need to make sure we it is good it's a top down request so the city is aware of it and as the departments are impacted start to get together go and in collaboration with the top and that was the meeting. >> thank you commissioner king.

>> i got a quick question for commissioner king and maybe for our director is this the year where we look to once again become a general fund department and to receive general funds the way we once did 10 years ago you know quite frankly i'm not the one to answer that you i think what we need definitely need to see if this trend continues with the criteria for granting money than we're going to start facing larger and larger gaps that will impact our service delivery so we can't be the only department facing this so the solution is not the department of environment solution it must be a city solution for the departments

having this challenge. >> thank you for your question i'll say this is the year to quantify not being a general fund and 0 forecasting that out for what commissioner king is saying what's the impact and what are we not going to be able to do and make the case. >> if we did this around the post office idea we work together around sf investment and environment commission and have excuse me. a coordinated approach what if it's quantified we could work on the impact with some suggested ideas maybe and send a letter kind of laying out the impact to the mayor and president chiu and supervisor farrell chair the budget

committee to get the conversation going and use that as a vehicle to start the conversation. >> that's a very interesting idea i know that commissioner king's opinion it's not our department it's part of a larger trend it's a competition where should general fund money go we need it make a case and first part of that is to truly understand not having that. >> it so you would a great plan on the operation committees chair report any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed monique can we hear item 11. >> the committee report september 18th. >> thank you

dirty fossil fuel materials that pollute community and contributed to climate change those are coal and petroleum coke a cool alternative and crude oil and our commissioners and our commissioner wald of the policy committee remember when we had the conversation there was talk about a new facility and pier 96 that the peer is looking to build a cargo terminal and it was praised from the sierra club and the grant institute asked the skew is this a facility that can one day have the materials they need someplace to go to port thanks to the ports leadership the port has said no to coal and started a policy committee and excited

to share yesterday's at the board of supervisors the conversation has elevated to establishing san francisco and really this particular site this new facility at pier 96 at health department can be potentially with a little bit more work that director reaping he will will lay out we're poised to be thanks to a hearing by supervisor malia cohen a resolution that passed sponsoring from supervisor avalos and supervisor wiener yesterday supported the port and sf environment to make pier 96 the first facility in the country that makes export of those dirty polluting follows i will fuel make export of those materials prohibited at those facilities that is amazing and you'll in motion as of yesterday

i don't have anything to add except yeah. (clapping) i have to compliment the port this wasn't their idea necessarily and it came from you the commissioner on the environment and some of the mechanics on the public works allowed them to pit together bid language and lease language and operations language we hope about not only lock the citizens of san francisco but sever as a model for other ports up and down the west coast it started here and stampeded the right kinds of conversations that needed to happen. >> thank you to our deputy city

other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features. >> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here.

we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really, really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before.
