actually be able to receive the money until the january. it's frustrating that this process would take so long. >> does anyone from the staff want to speak to this first? >> mr. curto. >> good morning, president james, commissioners, dave curto, director of contracts and facilities, yes the board of supervisors add-back process has always been a troubling process from a procurement standpoint. we understand the well-intentions of our supervisors by identifying groups and constituencies and making promises and then when it comes through the budget, we have to go through a formal procurement process. we cannot just make the awards based on the supervisors. as many of you are ware of aware that the grand jury says you could not do targeted

add-backs, but there is some great benefit to providing targeted funding to specific neighborhoods and we all acknowledge that, but from the procurement standpoint we have to first of all get the funding and get feedback from the supervisors' office of what they really intended for the funding and then we have to fit that into our normal procurement schedule. so often times board of supervisors add-backs as well-intentioned take 3-4 months to fast-track and this particular one, because we were fortunate to get a number of add-backs and greater amounts to put out notices of funding of availability for these various areas to try to fit the supervisors' desires with the needs that we have identified for those communitis that were receiving the funding. so we have to go through the process. we tried to streamline it. we're trying to get the awards

out the door, but quite frankly, it puts a lot of work on the staff, at a time that we're also renewing contracts and as you see from the next item, we're adding domestic cost of doing business. and in the circumstances where the additional services once an award has been made, we have been very flexible about using the existing funds in the grant to go ahead and start the service and back fill the funding as soon as we get through the entire process. yes, it's taken a little longer and it's always troubling when it comes into the holiday system because stuff does slow down. so we apologize for that, but in my 18 years' of doing this, we have never found a really good way to incorporate these add-backs. so i don't mean that as a

rationalization, but it's just the factors. >> commissioner. >> three questions, how much is the add-back? and what are the monies going to be used for? are they getting the money and if not today, when do you expect them to get the check? >> is that? >> three questions, yes. >> the add-backs are varied. first of all, we have to go back to the supervisors, and get a little feedback of what they intended the funding to be for. and then we have to fit that into our existing service categoris and compare with it our gap analyses of the needed services that the department feels are prioritized. so there is that little dance that going on about where is best place to put the funding? and how to make sure this intended district gets a fair didn't

opportunity to compete for it? there has to be a full and open competitive process. you are can't just give the money that. is one. once we make the awards they have to fit it into the budget coordinate with the staff to make sure we're getting accountability for the public dollars. that is the process and sometimes it takes a little longer than we will all would like. i will say that the add-back funding is available for the year. the encumbrances essentially we can't get all of the awards in front of you until january. once you approve these modifications, based on nofas, we'll add it in.

if it's an urgent case we have the ability to pre-fund them ahead of your authorization from the existing funding that that organization gets. now the add-back funding is good for this fiscal year, and next fiscal year. they are all good for the immediate fiscal year, and the next one. and we'll see what comes out in the budget, because we're on a two-year budget cycle. so the expectation is for those truly urgent and i don't know of too many that we put in that category, but those funds have been available. it's funding that we're taking out of the existing grants that we'll back-fill once the process is complete. we have have to go through a whole process that takes time. >> i asked you three questions and you answered one. how much are we talking about? half a million dollars? i know, you don't have a definite. >> i don't have the exact amount in front of me. >> not exacty.

>> overall, $2.5 million. >> $2.5 million. >> okay. my second question, how are you going to use the $2.5 million? >> that was the subject of our notices of funding availability, where the non-profit partners submitted proposals of how they were going to spend the money and how it was going to serve their clients. that goes through a review and a whole process. once we make an allocation of a specific set of funds based on a proposal received, then the daas, the staff sits down and works out details of how they are going implement or expand on the services that they are providing to use this funding. >> commissioner serina. >> thank you, dave, we'll be able to have a full discussion next month when those are put before the commission. >> that is correct. >> and the emergency procedures that the department

has made available to the contractors so essential services are not denied because of the process themselves. so i think we can have the discussion next month. >> in most cases it was addition of services that we already have in place. there are new locations and of course, those take longer to identify the site and identify the contractor and put the parameters into place. >> i'm sure that is why the financial committee they've been trying to look for a date and coordinate with the staff. so they can get this going. thank you very much. you have one other question, commissioner loo. >> since the money is coming in late, and if they can't spend the money, can the money be carried over to another year? >> it's basically a two-year funding amount. so yes, in certain cases we can request it to be fund ed or allow

acceleration. they still have the full fiscal year amount to use this and some of it we may be able to roll over into next year. they have gotten total funding for a two-year period. >> thank you. >> commissioner sims. >> just quickly, i want to say that while i have great sensitivity for non-profits and ngos operating on limited budgets and stretched beyond imagination to accomplish the good work that they are working on, i am as a kind of good government advocate, comforted to know that your department is as thorough as you are, and as careful as you are in the allocation of these funds and not -- we're not at-risk as the general public to see those funds being pushed around by the whim of any single elected official. so thank you for doing the good work. >> thank you, we appreciate that thought as well. >> i remember that process. thank you. any other general comment from

the public? hearing none, we'll move on. old business? we don't have any. new business? so here we are. the last item, the department requests authorization to modify the grant agreements with the non-profit service providers for the record period of july 1, 2014, through june 30, 2015 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $393,993. the purpose of this increase is to help compensate the non-profit service providers for the increased costs associated with providing the services on behalf of the department of. could i have a motion to discuss? >> so moved. >> second. >> commissioners, dave curto again we're asking your

authorization to modify the non-profitgants that we have under the daas portfolio for a cost of doing increase -- a cost of doing business increase of 1.5% granted by the mayor's office in the budget process. traditionally, the board of supervisors usually matches this every year. this year, the board of supervisors did not. so our contractors had an expectation of getting one around 3%. but daas was again very fortunate to get other add-backs and allows to us modify grants by 1.5% that carries forward into the future. this process we're in the process now, we have notified the contracts. they have to go in and allocate 1.5% throughout the existing budgets. so the total amount this year

is $393,993 in an aggregate amount spread between probably 150 different daas grants. >> i heard 50. >> there abouts. >> our general policy of how we allocate the cost of doing business adjustments an salaries, benefits, et cetera, hard costs we generally only apply these to county general fundss and we never allow the cost of doing business to apply to a brand-new program that we're starting up or something that was a result of an rfp or even an add-back funding because the contractors gets an opportunity to negotiate the first-year budget and will forward costs that they

anticipate. so it kicks in during the second year of operation. any questions that i can answer? >> i was wondering how many organizations that you distributed and you said approximately 150. okay. >> commissioner sims. >> one, was there any rationale with the board of supervisors this year for their resistance to match the mayors? >> i think they had other targets items that they had taken a higher priority over matching the cost of doing business. i know it was discussed at the open budget hearings and non-profit partners expressed dismay at not getting the add-backs as was done many times in the past. it was a different set of priorities coming from the board of supervisors this year. >> okay. any questions? hearing nonely call for the vote. >> all in favor?

>> aye. >> opposed? ayes have it and so the motion is carried. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. >> next we have public comment. do we have any public comment on this? hearing none, announcements? public comment? we have already done that. can i have a motion to adjourn. >> so moved. >> second. >> it's been moved and seconded that we adjourned the meeting. thank you.
